Gestures don’t work with them too nicely. Also the recents screen is still from the built-in launcher, unless with root access of course

maybe because a huge fraction of users wouldn’t understand more advanced tutorials, or it’d be just too much effort
maybe thats related to your ad blocker(s) lol
idk tbh, SafetyNet / Play Integrity have existed for a while
Kinda makes sense. A paid app on Google Play is a license to download the .apk file(s). Then a user could make copies, and without DRM, it’d be the same situation as with copyrighted movies and whatnot.
I’m not saying I support them, it’s just that they are like this for a reason
Maybe everyone was just OK with mobile devices being locked down heavily from the start, and now it’s more or less the same level for most
Is the bootloader unlocking requirement that FRP is not triggered a hard one or just because the settings screen isn’t (or shouldn’t) be reachable? Now that OEM unlocking and FRP aren’t tied together anymore, it doesn’t seem like a hard one
This could still be bypassed by flashing a new OS that deliberately messes up the userdata wipe-persisting secrets. Well idk if there’s a way to prevent that, but I guess really needy and tech-savvy people could recover lost devices that way
Looks like they “just” have to stop signing in with a Google account, and may have to enable adb and install apps using it / e.g. Shizuku
jokes on you one of my not so much into linux friends had it and his setup kept breaking, now he’s about to install fedora
crunchy but old snack
sometime ago I had my home directory managed by systemd-homed
on Fedora (before 38 even afaik). the SELinux policy wasn’t configured properly for it though, so I had to keep setting it to permissive mode. for some stupid reason I remember running the command to do that on every. single. boot. lol
maybe create a new account and use a patched 3rd party client. i use patched Sync (for reddit) with my own API token, and my account hasn’t been banned since the beginning of their API changes. neither am I seeing ads
yet another reason to use sd-boot?
OTOH, that dialog looks horrible. Who designed that? Are all Xbox dialogs like that?
anyone know how intel’s microcode update policy is in comparison to AMD’s?
my OS is better than yours
heavy “btw i use arch” vibes
To 1.: dri
instead of all
would handle hardware-accelerated rendering. Then some webcams or controllers won’t be accessible though. This one’s a bit complicated, since the necessary portals for e.g. generic USB device access aren’t yet there.
To 2.: portals should be used instead of that. Using them doesn’t require these permissions.
To 3.: click on details and see. This is Flathub making it easy to understand for users.
Permissions should make clear whatever dangerous things an app can do. If not, why do all this effort of isolation? Firefox could delete everything in downloads, either by accident on Mozilla’s side, or a privilege escalation. If the app used portals instead, it couldn’t, at least without user interaction. Or a browser security vulnerability could open up any USB devices to webpages. It’s all about what could happen with granted permissions. And these can 100 % be fixed in at least some way.
Apps could start improving to remove the warnings…
There’s also a still in-development rival for GNOME, Valent. And it’s a native program and not just a shell extension. I prefer it, and maybe it even has more features.
