This will be possible if done by third parties anyway, it will just be apple, google and maybe meta, a single phone call is enough to cut you off. At least if the government is doing it, the app doesn't get your id.

Yes at least they don't do BS like this.
Re:Codeberg Bans Cryptocurrency Projects on Thursday July 23, 2026 @04:27PM (#49027577)
The decision to stop hosting such projects on codeberg will change nothing, it will just make it clear that its not a serious competitor.

Its like how the EU kneecaps everything related to energy because of the climate while literally the best case scenarios for the EU lawa is to be 0.1 colder, because the EU isn't the bigger emitter. It just doesn't matter.

I would 100% rather have a truly bright and lively city at night than a visible night sky. More than half the year is in the winter ffs!

Two generations compared to another flagship like an s26 ultra or an oppo.

The moment the phone is no longer the latest one, you start to notice it.

Dropped animations, slow downs in the summer due to heat, poor battery life because it has to use boost, and so on. You don't have to game to notice it.

Re:OnePlus halts operations in USA and Europe on Thursday July 16, 2026 @09:42AM (#48934456)
Nah the hardware is still crap. CPU performance that's genuinely like two generations behind being sold as a flagship somehow.

Again, Bohoo, shitty management can't find another solution somehow.
Bohoo, can't build weapons for genociders, poor me!

What a shitty management that can't find any solutions other than building weapons for war criminals.

Just use deepswe as a reference point.
Re:FUTO Swipe – A new swipe typing model on Tuesday June 23, 2026 @04:11PM (#48650627)
If only FUTO supported combined keyboard languages without duplicates. Why would there be two separate de and en layouts when multilingual typing is enabled.
In my case the bottleneck isn't cpu performance, it's ram. You can't run serious apps with 16gigs, nor lightroom with a large catalog nor Photoshop with Ai filters. Also running multiple agents with dev servers is ram intensive.
Doesn't matter, the end result is the same.
Gimp is ass, what takes me 5 minutes in Photoshop needs an hour in GIMP. Also I edit photos occasionally in lightroom. I actually daily Linux, but I still have to dual boot for gaming and Adobe.

Also Linux isn't flawless either, Fedora broke sleep on my full AMD PC since like a month now and no agent could successfully debug it.

Macs are too expensive for the same performance/ram, and Linux still can't run proper creative software.
Neither really worked for me on fedora. Ratbag can't see the mx master 3s and solar couldn't remap anything.

There's strong political backing for it now.
So this turns mcps into cli based clients?
Because i can do it on the phone.

Actually synthetic training dats is better, thats why the new models are all better at design.
Just wait for the new OEM to drop their phones with GrapheneOS support. Pixel hardware is garbage tier.

Immich is way better if all you need is photo storage. It's Google photos level.
It's almost always the case with the old-school gnu mindset, aka gimp. There are exceptions though, like blender and gnome.
The only party actually following the ceasefire is the Palestinians as usual. There's a ceasefire in Syria and Lebanon, but apparently for Israel a ceasefire means they can still attack you, you just can't defend yourself.
Re:Modern messaging: Running your own XMPP server on Monday October 06, 2025 @12:16PM (#45492970)
I'm sorry but there's no way you can call xmpp modern messaging. Matrix with all of its shortcomings looks like 2050 compared to xmpp. Xmpp doesn't even have any half-decent mobile client!
Re:Jules, remote coding agent from Google Labs, announces API on Saturday October 04, 2025 @04:30AM (#45471700)
If you have copilot already, just use the copilot coding agent it does the same and it's much better.

From my experience Jules is the worst coding agent on the market.
