Stop wasting your time on that, it’s going to get removed next time.
The same kind of people are now doing it again, it will take time but every decision apple has been taking is giving me a bad taste.
even the evolution of macos and IOS. They are much closer to windows and android now.
They worked so hard to "think different", get a following with people that would willingly spend more for a product inferior technically because it was just bold.
i am the first one to appreciate the direction apple is taking, as a customer it will bring even more competition to the windows laptop market because everything will be similar, but when i put my self in steve jobs shoe, i want to puke.
They refused for decades to put a touchscreen because they know very well it will eat on their ipad sales.
One less reason to get an ipad pro.
Add to that a locked OS, and you got a bingo.
Now you make him think twice about what he’s saying, of course he’s going to nitpick everything.
Damn, I’m glad I’m not a developer.
There is no technical reason to be impossible, the issue is political.
Corruption promoted by American lobbies onto European government and preventing any actual decision.
When people in charge “have balls”, it does work.
Most likely you will agree to share it with “other Google services” just by setting up an Android phone.
This is some fucked up level of incompetency.
That’s why Justice can be abused by whoever got the most money, if it was competent they wouldn’t waste much time on these ridiculous claims.
Core issue was lack of clear leadership from what I read on Wikipedia.
That scares me because what are the alternatives ? Windows is even worst and no light in sight, Linux is Linux… and that’s all.
Linux, Unix and most computers were designed from the ground up as open system where everything can access everything.
It’s absolutely not secure, but that’s not what flatpak is supposed to fix.
Flatpak is supposed to make installations of apps easier by sharing common dependencies across all distributions. That’s all. And in a way, it works.
It has downside even on that, people who have slow internet connection will require hours to download a simple calculator app whereas it took a few seconds before, but it works.
Now on the sandboxing part, you can’t fix a sinking ship with a chewing gum in the hole. The whole structure is not designed to work this way.
It has to come from yet another distribution where permission are enforced at the operating system level, like on macOS. It’s a lot of work, and then you got to get developers on board, so it will never happen and it’s fine. Linux is not macOS, it doesn’t have a trillion dollar company backing it up and it’s not unified.
You got to play with your strength, not your weaknesses.
It also highlight that Google really isn’t about search, all they care about is advertising and making users profiles.
Today, I saw an American news reporter got beaten up on the ground by 50 Israeli colonists.
That fact alone would get media, government most us citizens angry with pitch forks.
There is some very strong lobbying at multiple levels.
Israel still have the reputation of being part of the ‘free world’ in the collective mind.
that is more dangerous.
Even just searching for a setting can take 5 minutes, and you often got to look for them because default settings make no sense at all.
Everything you don’t like, you can avoid.

I can’t believe they don’t have the resource to bring these features to their launcher, they actively refuse to make it a tool for communities.
It must be a way to buy game and launch them, that’s all. Don’t talk, don’t give your opinion on the game, don’t help others in forums,..
I managed to stay away from epic even when they locked games from steam, glad I did. It’s embarrassing.
You can very well arrest someone for the intention of sabotaging.
Yeah, just a small hiccup. I can buy a whole phone with a hundred dollars.
If you don’t do anything special, that will be enough but for everyone else that won’t do it.
If I type ‘repor’ in Apple mail, It will show me all report before I even type enter. And if there is too much, I will then add ‘2026’ for instance.
On k9, first you got to type the entire word because it won’t progressively search as you type, but then you press enter and see hundreds of mail so you want to add 2026 ? Too bad. Got to type report once again followed by 2026. Made a typo mistake ? Got to rewrite it all over again.
This is just bad.
And I’m not trying to diminish the work done by Thunderbirds/k9 developer, it’s just that it’s done by unpaid developers and it shows. Things move slowly and just suck at using.
