  • Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration

    Jump

  • I was able to set custom APN settings on my Pixel to bypass the tethering block that MetroPCS puts on their cheapest plan.

    There is nothing in iOS that lets you do that.

    I also can't run WiFi scanners on iOS.

    And Android will still have ADB sideloading. On iOS I have to run shit like Sideloadly to re-sign applications every 7 days.

    If you're a true Android fan, there is still a lot to keep you on the platform.

  • What are the problems with Ubuntu?

    Jump

  • Snap is the biggest issue.

    The developers say they are awesome and the fans say they are awesome.

    It doesn't change the fact that they kinda suck, the forced updates kinda suck, and the tone-deafness of the fans kinda sucks.

  • Picture unrelated...

    That looks like the species that shows up every year.

  • Linux hits 4% on the desktop 🐧 📈

    Jump

  • Uh, most apps are still for Windows. That's why so many people use it.

    If you tell someone to use an alternative OS, but then they are left on their own to run alternative versions of apps that don't work the same, forced to give up features they are use to, or run dozens of different programs through Wine or Proton or emulation or virtualization or whatever, JUST BECAUSE "Microsoft bad", they're going to laugh at you and go right back to Windows.

    It's taken Linux 30(?) years to make it to 4%, and a lot of that is recent because of games. It's still a niche platform.

  • Ubuntu Core Desktop Delayed, Won't Be Released in April

    Jump

  • "Canonical announced it was building an all-snap, immutable version of Ubuntu for home users called Ubuntu Core Desktop."

    I don't like the sound of this.

  • Twitch updates sexual content guidelines amid ‘topless’ meta backlash

    Jump

  • They usually cover/conceal nipples, so you don't see everything.

    In the list of "games", the top item is the "Just Talking" or whatever the category is called. Click that and try various sorting.

  • Punishing the poor and making things harder for them to dig out of their situation is certainly for the best!

  • Mozilla tells extension developers to get ready to finally go mobile

    Jump

  • I installed Firefox (Android version) on a Chromebook to see if I could keep 2 browsers with separate profiles and setups.

    The Firefox browser on a Laptop computer looked awful. A narrow phone UI, but stretched really, really wide. It made no attempt at utilizing a wide tablet layout.

  • ‘Alien: Romulus’: Ridley Scott Says Fede Álvarez’s Movie Is “F***ing Great”

    Jump

  • Prometheus made me angry at everything and everyone. There was such an interesting story there and it just seemed like every character did the wrong thing. Then the movie ended on what felt like a starting point of something incredible.

    ...and then Covenant comes out and just throws the entire Prometheus story in the trash and gives us a generic monster movie with yet another blue-balls ending that will never be resolved.

    We'll never get a complete story of Prometheus or find out what happens after Covenant.

    "Flawed" is an understatement.

  • ‘Alien: Romulus’: Ridley Scott Says Fede Álvarez’s Movie Is “F***ing Great”

    Jump

  • Gee, I hope it has more androids fingering and blowing and a bunch of scientists doing REALLY stupid shit.

    Edit: the article may as well have just said "Ridley Scott swears it will be a hoot and a holler this time and definitely isn't going to be fucking stupid again" because of course he is going to praise it.

  • Scientists propose sweeping new law of nature, expanding on evolution

    Jump

  • Wake up, babe. Evolution 2.0 just dropped.

  • 23andMe User Data Stolen in Targeted Attack on Ashkenazi Jews

    Jump

  • You say that like it's a negative thing.

    Some people actually want to know things and are curious about where they came from, what they're made of, who their family is.

    Submitting your DNA can increase your knowledge. It sounds like you can't believe people would seek knowledge.

  • Snap store from Canonical hit with malicious apps

    Jump

  • After realizing the Godot package in Ubuntu was terribly outdated, I checked their snap store.

    There are half a dozen Godot packages on Snapcraft, uploaded by random people. There is no indication of which a user should actually get, as none are "official". The one package that has a "verified" check also has a full description of just the word "blah", so it's clear it's not the real one and the "verified" checkmark means nothing.

    Anyone that wants to upload something can. Non-functional, non-tested apps, others' work, abandoned apps, malware, etc.

    And then the system ties your hands behind your back and refuses to let you control things like updates.

    Snaps are an abortion and it has been turning people off to Ubuntu like crazy.

  • My IPV6 only server is unable to federate properly with lemmy.world

    Jump

  • IPv6 only is still problematic.

    Well, you see, it's only been around 20 years or so. We need another 20-40 years of "IPv6 is coming" reminders before people really take a look at it.

  • Users can block instances

    Finally!

    I've had enough creepy/disgusting furry and pedophile drawings on my feed. That "yiffit" instance will be the first that I block.

  • The new Moderna vaccine kicking anyone else's ass?

    Jump

  • The old Pfizer doses would shut me down for 3 days.

    Fever, chills, body aches, fatigue.

    The first shot wasn't so bad. The second and third were insane.

    I'm pretty sure I've had a fourth shot, but I don't remember how I felt. I think I got covid last year, after already having the third shot, and I've been dealing with symptoms for over a year now (mostly muscle fatigue).

    I want the new shot with the new variant mix, but I'm also afraid of how I'm going to react to it. I have too much going on at work and home right now to take half a week off for the shot.

    I have a pretty crummy immune system and have always dealt with autoimmune issues, so it's important that I get the shot, even if I react badly to it. :/
