Not in all situations. And in a way a user will not be aware of. The service or website can define what type of passkey is allowed (based in attestation). You may not be able to acutally use your “movable” keys because someone else decided so. You will not notice this until you actually face such a service. And when that happens, you can be sure that the average user will not understand what ia going on. Not all passkeys are equal, but that fact is hidden from the user.
In addition, Huawei now blocks sideloading Android apps to promote its ecosystem growth.
Well looks like I’m never going to get a device from this manufacturer then.
Here a a few things that I miss from OsmAnd:
Organic Maps is my goto solution for car navigation because it is very quick, responsive and does not require an high end phone. It just works. However for anything more advanced than that (e.g. live location sharing or recording, planning a hiking trip, navigating mountain bike trails, contributing to OpenStreemMap), OSMAnd is still without contender.
Availability still very limited:

Sad to see Mozilla being managed into the ground, betraying their principles and selling their users.
That is not entirely correct. The reported found the app using permissions that are not covered by the manifest. It also found the app being capable to execute arbitrary code send by temu. So it cannot be clearly answered if the app can utilize these permissions or not. Obviously they would not ship such an exploit with the app directly.
This is your best option. I did do movie nights with friends during the pandemic in a similar way, but I used OBS Studio to create the stream and Monaserver to stream it to all users. I did not know VLC can handle the streaming to users directly, making this dead simple to setup without additional software. You just need to know how to configure your router to allow the needed port forwarding.
Wenn mit “möglichst vielen Menschen” wirklich alle Menschen gemeint sind und nicht bestimmte Gruppen, dann sind diese beiden Ziele zwei Seiten der selben Medaille.
Agreed. From a privacy perspective, it is a lot safer to run the app in an environment where you have admin control. E.g. disable when not in use, block access to sensitive device information, limit background and network activity as much as possible.
I’d second this. The organization behind it (https://calyxinstitute.org/about) is a long established non profit, their portfolio covers various cool projects. The vpn client itself is basically a rebranded version of https://f-droid.org/packages/se.leap.bitmaskclient, it it is nothing special.
The question is not weather Google is tracking or not, the question is if Google is breaking the law doing so.
“Could”. More likely it was closed loop. As I understand it this is an estimate, thus the word “could”. This has nothing to do with using closed or open look water cooling. Water isn’t single use, so even if true how does this big number matter.
The point they are trying to make is that fresh water is not a limitless resource and increasing usage has various impacts, for example on market prices.
The outdated network holding back housing is that it doesn’t go to the right places with the capacity needed for the houses. Not that OpenAIUK is consuming so much that there’s no power left. To use a simily, there’s plenty of water but the pipes aren’t in place.
The point being made is that resources are allocated to increase network capacity for hyped tech and not for current, more pressing needs.
Ich bestreite nicht, dass es digital in der Regel mehr Komfort bieten kann. Das rechtfertigt aber keinen Zwang, wenn das mit Nachteilen verbunden ist. Man kann problemlos gut funktionierende digitale Systeme bauen und dennoch Alternative anbieten. Das ist aber in der Regel nicht das Ziel, weil es mit Kosten verbunden ist. Digizalzwang ist hier für den Anbieter viel bequemer. Daher ist hier Regulierung die einzige Möglichkeit den Verbraucher vor Entscheidungen zu seinem Nachteil zu schützen.
Es ist ein bisschen wie mit dem Bargeld. Digital hat meist viele Vorteile und ist für viele einfach bequemer. Aber es gibt gravierende Nachteile die man in Kauf nehmen muss. Von daher ist es sinnvoll, wenn hier die Wahlfreiheit über Regulierung erzwungen wird.
I love a good story driven Star Trek game. And it even has one of my favorite characters in it 🖖
This sadly is in line with Mozilla’s increasingly bad privacy defaults. Users who care have moved on to more reasonable configurd forks at this point (e.g. Librewolf).
There are ways to save messages before they are deleted even if the stock app is used. Do not ever rely on this feature to work in a “safe” way.
That is a problem the users who prefer 3rd party clients have to deal with. Obviously if you care enough to not use the official build, you of cause have to take care of using a trustworthy source. That is not “your problem” though.
That sounds a lot like “I don’t use it, so none else needs it either” argument. In my opinion, none of your arguments above are a good reason to combat 3rd party clients.
