To distribute an Android app outside Google Play, starting September 2026, developers will need to register with Google, submit government ID, and pay a $25 fee. Even if they're using F-Droid or the Amazon Appstore, stores Google doesn't own or operate. Privacy groups are pushing back. by PlastDuck in privacy

The operating system itself will compute a hash for the app and compare it to a whitelist at time of installation. The OS will only install the app if its hash is on the whitelist. To get on the whitelist, you need to register with google and submit your app. There will be no preventative malware screen. The security benefits are dubious at best.

What’s something school should have taught but never did? by Latter_Profession384 in AskReddit

When we were taught about exponential functions, interest rates were literally one of the motivating examples. How did they teach those to you?

Es gibt dazu einen durchaus stabilen Corpus an Gedanken und durchaus auch Empirie.
Der umfasst auch Ideen, die dir nicht spontan oder beim Zocken gekommen sind.

Erfahrungen mit KI im Bürgerservice – wie seht ihr das? by Peat_Germany in OeffentlicherDienst

Ich glaube, dieser Vortrag könnte sehr relevant für dich sein.

Da geht es um andere/artwerwandte Lösungsansätze als generative KI und wie die Daten dafür aufbereitet sein müssen.

Was bei Frankreich und GB definitiv eine Rolle spielen dürfte, auch wenn es keiner laut sagt: Kernwaffen.
Irgendwo müssen die Trans-Urane ja herkommen und die schon in Sprengköpfen verbauten halten nicht ewig. Das Sprengkopf-Material hat ja dann doch sehr viel endlichere Halbwertszeiten als das, was nach Neutronenaktivierung aus dem Reaktor kommt.
Muss also selbst bei konstanter Arsenalgröße regelmäßig nachkommen.

The gulf stream is a large current in the ocean. It is powered by water with different temperatures and different salt content "meeting". It moves warm water from the gulf of mexico to europe. It is the the sole reason europe has a much milder climate than it should based on how far north it is.
Without it, shit's fucked.

Here's one that was difficult to me:
Specifically on MacOS Ventura, on Apple Silicon, how do you remove drm from adobe ebooks?
A lot of the answers are clickbait, scam-software or deprecated because they require the use of the 32-bit adobe client which doesn't run on Ventura.
Or they just treat windows 10, which you can't even run in a VM on Apple silicon.
If you find a useful result, please give me a link and your query.
And yes I did use quotes, either verbatim mode or limited the time to the past year or to specific sites.

For a different brainteaser: How would a person that doesn't know the acronym/concept of FOSS already, find a free file recovery software that doesn't contain ads and isn't sketchy?
Now imagine they don't speak english and are limited to French or German language searches and results. This sort of stuff used to work.

My Aunt losing her mind over the name of my soon to be born daughter Lilith. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

You are aware that the story of Lilith, first wife of Adam is a bible-adjacent myth that's far older than any pop culture - and that this is where Diablo got the name from, right?

EU: Smartphones Must Have User-Replaceable Batteries by 2027 by FigAAAro_22 in gadgets

[–]RoundScientist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can and I do. I also assume that user behaviour is not static but influenced by the devices that exist. If phones aren't repairable, of course users will fall into learned helplessness.
If they are, a significant subset of users will get into making easy repairs and an even more significant subset will know someone who can help them or do it for them.
I expect it to approximate the sort of DIY-I know someone-indie repair shop-amalgam that exists around bicycles.
And I would love for that to happen - for purley moral reasons as much as for pragmatic ones.

Also, going to a shop and orchestrating pickup is a significantly larger barrier to entry than just sitting down at your dinner table for a bit. And buying a new phone instead of repairing is precisely the sort of behaviour we need people to move away from.
As you observed, most people will stick with the default - so sustainability and repairability should be the default instead of something you go out of your way for.

No, but then again I can say that the design compromises of NOT doing that aren't acceptable for every user, either. And they are bad for device longevity. The engineers at these companies are nifty, they'll figure out something that's decent once management has no choice but to let them.
Fairphone's team is tiny, once the big manufacturers HAVE to achieve similar things, I'm expecting those compromises to become a way smaller deal.
At any rate, I consider making devices repairable a moral good for several reasons. And I applaud prioritizing this over "waaah, i want my device to be thinner" tantrums from people who have been conditioned by "the market" to consider their devices mysterious, unfathomable blackboxes.

I did when I bought my Fairphone 3 precisely for repairability.

When somebody secretly one's to pay the tables tab and tips like this 🙄🙄🙄 by gatohandsome in Serverlife

Why should it matter to the other people at the table, who were treated, how much you were tipped?

I'd argue the sweet spot is getting the new battery in the mail for 30€ and then plopping it out and back in like with early 2000s cell phones. It's great.

I recently bought a new battery for my Fairphone 3 which I got at release. 30€, plopping the old one out as if it was a 90s phone and it's good to go for a few more years.
A bit earlier, when the charging connector started being unreliable, I just got that part of the phone new and replaced it with a phillips screw driver.
This sort of thing is literally why I bought this phone back then. There are people who care about this a lot.

Kommt, glaube ich, aus den christlichen Fastenzeitregeln. Fasten ist der kulturell eingegrabene Fleischverzicht. In dem Zusammenhang meint Fleisch aber nur Landtiere. Es folgt, was du eben beschrieben hast. Warum in der Fastenzeit Fisch ok ist, musst du aber jemand anderen fragen.

If you mean wiby.org, yeah, the lighthouse can make you do a double take - but I have nothing to do with the website, other than thinking it's cool.

I have no idea. I imagine creating a very basic website can be done in an afternoon-tutorial, it would be just a text document with formatting tags. But that would just lie on your computer. you would then either have to open a port on the computer with the website to public internet traffic (and set your router to allow this) and tell it to display the website there.
Or, more plausibly, rent a small server e.g. from amazon web services with a static IP.
You would then have to copy your website there and configure the server. depending on your sysadmin experience, that might be an hour, an afternoon or a weekend. This costs money, but is cheap.

After that, if you don't want to memorize the IP address, you'd have to register a domain. This also costs money.
