  • Does Android's SafetyNet actually make it safer for apps to run?

    Jump

  • It is a security theater and akin to pat your back feel good. Your app is secure, yay!

    Same with apps blocking functionality due to VPN usage or detecting USB debugging or developer settings.

  • Bluesky suspending antifascist researchers for sharing publicly available information about literal nazis.

    Jump

  • Why would you self host bluesky. When you have an actual federated open source platform like Lemmy or mastodon?

    They are infinitely better respect and grant you the four freedoms of libre software.

  • Happy Spooky Day Happy Holidays! (December Update)

    Jump

  • The majority of the work results in actioning reports and ensuring we don't let bots/people not even trying to read the application process into Reddthat.

    Can't you use the same tools they use to get in to filter out applications with high confidence and check the ones with low confidence with a cleverly disguised for an LLM, a 2nd appeal option.

  • 99% of images fail to load

    Jump

  • Both load fine in v1.74, and android 15. But, there should be a way to request non-AVIF images or load them with software on older phones.

  • Xiaomi 17 Ultra packs a 1-inch sensor, 200MP periscope telephoto, and a 6,800mAh battery

    Jump

  • Putting aside the login app. The downside would be less networking, connections, and job finding if you do not have a smartphone and WhatsApp. Not to mention digital payments, banking, tickets for trains, bus, etc,. Unless, you want to lose time and be in a queue everywhere.

  • That's not fair: Fairphone 4 owners report new update bricks their phone

    Jump

  • Having custom ROM compatibility is good. But, this is not acceptable for a device you daily drive. You do not expect a software update to brick the phone, or erase the data.

  • Xiaomi 17 Ultra packs a 1-inch sensor, 200MP periscope telephoto, and a 6,800mAh battery

    Jump

  • Its beyond inconvinient. My work requires a login app which works only on android. Plus, Whatsapp for co-ordination, planning and allocation. If you do not have one. You cannot work at all.

  • Honor Win Hands-On: 10,000 mAh Battery and 185Hz OLED!

    Jump

  • I have mentioned that in the software summary.

  • Survey reveals most people are holding onto their phones for a long time, and it makes sense

    Jump

  • You could consider older flagship phones if you can get one at a reasonable price.

  • Survey reveals most people are holding onto their phones for a long time, and it makes sense

    Jump

  • You could consider the Fairphone 6 with its 8yrs of security updates and 5yrs of warranty.

  • Survey reveals most people are holding onto their phones for a long time, and it makes sense

    Jump

  • 512GB variant is going to be rare. There was a time in 2023 when you could get a midrange phone with 1TB of storage.

    Now, all they talk about are downgrades. Greed has been affecting us all this time.

  • [Release][v1.74.1] More user requests

    Jump

  • Pixel 10 finally gets its long-promised GPU driver upgrade, but the real test starts now

    Jump

  • There's the final fantasy series. But, honestly you are expecting way too much. People are not willing to give $1 for a useful app. Forget throwing 10-30 times that amount for a console quality game.

  • Pixel 10 finally gets its long-promised GPU driver upgrade, but the real test starts now

    Jump

  • Google always tries to cheap out on hardware and try to make up for it in software.

  • Pixel 10 finally gets its long-promised GPU driver upgrade, but the real test starts now

    Jump

  • Sorry, I meant Rush Rally 3. Anyway, there's GridAutosport, Wreakfest.

  • Pixel 10 finally gets its long-promised GPU driver upgrade, but the real test starts now

    Jump

  • I have listed all the games that I have played and still keep installed on my phone. Others like Real Racing 3 require powerful hardware which my phone does not have unfortunately.

    What exactly are you expecting here?

  • I have to confirm every installion on F-Droid

    Jump

  • You can also install Shizuku and use the Shizuku installation method which is seamless and requires no user interaction to update and install apps.

  • Pixel 10 finally gets its long-promised GPU driver upgrade, but the real test starts now

    Jump

  • What bottleneck are you talking about?

    And that is unacceptable considering the price tag of some devices.

    I agree for pixel phones. For everyone else you have options. you can game at medium to high settings on upper midrange dimensity 8300/8400 phones, snapdragon 7+ gen 2/3, 8gen 2, 8s gen 3, and other phones.

  • Nothing's lockscreen 'ads' seem to wreck battery life if you try to fully remove the app

    Jump

  • Didn't say it wasn't. Just said others should be scrutinized too. Not everyone buys a nothing phone.
