They already can't have had such a requirement, since the Fairphone can be bought with either Google apps or /e/OS.
This is about background playback, not adblocking. They can still play ads.
Places are increasingly expecting people to have a smartphone, and using an app for things like parking your car, charging you car, going to the gym, paying for stuff, identifying yourself online etc. Sure, for now most of the time you can get away with most things without one (possibly ate the cost of being a second class citizen), but every now and then you run into something that straight up requires a phone.
For example, at the gym I go to they do have a card reader as an alternative to checking in with the app, but at one point it was not working, which meant a smartphone was mandatory to go to the gym. And it was left that way for months; fixing it was clearly not a priority because the expectation of society is that everyone has a smartphone (you'll be met with surprise if you tell people you don't have their app installed, and incredulity at the idea that someone might not have a smartphone). And outside my workplace they put up car charging stations that have no way to pay for charging without an app.
And then (at least here in Sweden) there are increasingly places that accept no payment methods other than mobile payments (Swish here in Sweden), and online services like healthcare services requiring you to authenticate with BankID on a smartphone (or sometimes Freja e-ID, which also requires a smartphone), for things like ordering from pharmacies, doing your taxes online (and getting your tax return sooner), accessing healthcare services etc, and meanwhile physical alternatives like physical pharmacies are increasingly getting outcompeted and shutdown. So you may be able to get by without one, but at the cost of getting cut off from parts of society, and that's likely to increase.
And of course there was recently the news that the UK may require a digital ID (probably on and Android or iOS phone) in order to get employment or residence: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/starmer-digit...
Well, maybe the app will keep working and you can update it from Aurora Store, or maybe you'll be fine as long as you don't change your employment or residence. Pretty vague so far.
In this case, sounds like you'll not just be required to carry an ID. Everyone in the country will be legally required to carry an Android phone or iPhone.
Well, maybe the app will keep working and you can update it from Aurora Store. Pretty vague so far.
And if Google bans you for some reason (which they have been known to do sometimes), I guess you'll be kicked out of the country unless you buy an iPhone.
Not so much with smartphones though. While there is Android, it's slowly becoming just as bad as iOS, and modern society requires everyone to have one of those (and an aftermarket OS may not be a possibility either due to some apps using Play Integrity API).
So why do people hate CSS's trigonometry implementation?
So basically to summarize, Google embargoes security patches for four months so OEMs can push out updates more slowly. And if those patches were immediately added to an open source project like GrapheneOS, attackers would gain info on the vulnerabilities before OEMs provide updates (the GrapheneOS project can see the patches, but they can't ship them). But a lot of patches end up being leaked anyway, so the delay ends up being pointless.
There were a number of of deaths during the capitol attack, including a police officer who suffered a stroke a day after being beaten by the rioters. And there was certainly a lot more violence.
How does this differ from WinApps?
I've made sure to configure the browser to allow zooming on any website. Don't understand why websites try to block this.
Mostly because the people who want sideloading are using Android. And on Android the situation is constantly getting worse, while on iOS it's largely just sticking to the status quo.
Nevertheless, this serves as an excellent demonstration of the problem with the changes Google are making, since they would allow Google to do exactly what Apple just did.
>we'll be researching compression updates for PNG Fifth Edition.
What sort of improvements might we expect? Is there a chance of it rivalling lossless WebP and JPEG XL?
Does that mean Tailcale will stop doing it? Currently they require you to log into every node and reauthenticate it every now and then, unless you disable key expiry.
From what I understand, it used to be similar here in Sweden, but that change with the du reform in the 60s and 70s, when people started saying "du" to everyone, and "ni" became purely plural (unless you're speaking to royalty).
We also pretty much always use first name, at least everywhere I've been. Would feel weird to call people by their last name.
Is there anything in those EU directives that requires browsers to let webpages connect to localhost? Because that's the main issue here. And also maybe apps should need permission to listen on ports or connect to localhost, but I doubt the regulation prevents that either.
On https://localmess.github.io/, they think that this is technically possible on iOS too, and the main reason it wasn't done there is due to restrictions on apps running in the background.
This is nothing new that has been opened up because of those regulations.
It's also useful for cars, which I think is where most radio listening is done, since you may not hear the quiet parts.
>HDR can exceed that
It's not just the HDR content that gets brighter, but SDR content too. When I test it in Chrome on Android, if an HDR image shows up on screen the phone start overriding the brightness slider completely and making everything brighter, including the phone's system UI.
>The only thing HDR actually does is allow for brighter colors vs. SDR.
Not just brighter, but also darker, so it can preserve detail in dark areas rather than crushing them.
Or just Syncthing, for peer-to-peer sync
I did give CLion a try when looking for an editor, but last I checked CLion required you to use CMake. Also, JetBrains has it all split up between different IDEs. I need on e that supports C, C++, Python, Cython, Makefile, TypeScript, SCSS, XHTML, Shellscript, JSON and XML in the same program. I also need a program that can do CMake and C, and a program that can do C# (including project management, building, tests etc), Batch script, PowerShell, Shellscript, Cake and YAML, preferably with the same UI. And it needs to work on Linux. VSCode is the only one I've found that can handle that.
"code" is way too generic for a single program to claim exclusive rights to it.
Seems like the real problem in this case is being required to go to a specific hospital because of insurance.
Or even an explanation of what the term means
Wait, with OpenDNS you can change settings for everyone on an IP address just by connecting from the that same IP address? That seems horribly insecure.
Tailscale is also crazy unreliable in my experience, at least on Android. It had to be force quit and restarted every day, and even outside of that apps would randomly get connection errors. And they don't seem to care about bug reports. I ended up switching to regular Wireguard, which has since been perfectly reliable.
Plus, the programs on the microwave can make use of weight and humidity sensors to determine when to turn off, rather than requiring a predetermined duration.
