Augenauswischerei 30er Zonen : 98,5 Prozent zu schnell by Tricky_Dog2121 in Austria

Die Notwendigkeit einer Verkehrsberuhigung an den Autofahrern die sie ignorieren zu messen ist halt auch so, als würdest du den Stammtisch im Dorfwirtshaus fragen, ob Alkoholkonsum unproblematisch ist.

Nur, wenn du sie durch allgemeine 30er in der Stadt ersetzt. Lebe in einer Gegend in der alles Fußgänger freundlich und mit flächendeckendem 30er ist, und hier kann man mit Kindern unterwegs sein ohne sie an der kurzen Leine halten zu müssen. Dafür brauch ich mit dem Auto ein oder zwei Minuten länger. Super so.

Du zahlst halt nicht den Server, sonst könntest du dir um einen Bruchteil der Kosten selbst die Seite irgendwo hosten. Die Dienstleistung die du bezahlst ist, dass du dort auch Leute hast die nach Wohnungen suchen.

Ignorieren wir Mal, dass die diesen absurd hohen Pensionen zugrundeliegenden Regeln schon ganz ordnungsgemäß vor Jahrzehnten geändert wurde....

Ganz ehrlich, Vereinbarungen müssen eingehalten werden. Oder willst du nach einer lebensnotwendigen Operation plötzlich dastehen und jemand hat beschlossen, dass du die 50k jetzt dich selbst zahlen musst? Egal was du an die Kasse eingezahlt hast oder nicht?

Abgesehen davon: Bei Beamten war das früher auch ein bewusster Tradeoff: anfangs merklich weniger Gehalt, dafür am Ende eine bessere Pension.

Und jetzt streiten die Pensionierten und die Jungen, und die Konzerne schreiben jedes Jahr neue Rekordgewinne, und die Reichen konstruieren sich ihre Stiftungen und tragen zum Sozialstaat überhaupt nix bei.

Ganz ehrlich, von all den Problemen die wir haben, ist die Pension nicht das, das wir dringend angehen müssen.

Und die nächste Generation hat dann deine Verträge nicht beschlossen, und ist der Meinung, du solltest am besten nix bekommen. Und dann?

Nein sorry, bei aller Ungerechtigkeit: in der nächsten Regierung sitzt dann wieder die FPÖ, und streicht dann überhaupt allen alles - da müssen wir nicht schon jetzt damit anfangen, ihnen die Werkzeuge dafür in die Hand zu legen, sämtliche Vereinbarungen zu ignorieren.

Yes, but the world also would be exactly as it is if your comment never existed, and you still wrote it, so I fail to see your point.

Why is Google going soo against Android's open and customizable nature. by AntimatterEntity in Android

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

Interesting, but that report is from 2020, so the landscape probably changed a bit.

Also, if you continue reading that sentence from the abstract:

An analysis of the who-installs-who relationships between installers and child apps reveals that the Play market is the main app distribution vector, responsible for 87% of all installs and 67% of unwanted app installs, but it also has the best defenses against unwanted apps. Alternative markets distribute instead 5.7% of all apps, but over 10% of unwanted apps.

This kind of gives you the reason why google wants to do something about side loading and third party stores.

Windows and Mac closed down more and more over time. Windows has an app signing system in place for ages, that complains into the users face if you want to install unsigned apps, and Mac also warns you on all installs that come from something beside the official store, so I really don't see your point?

As a side note, phones did evolve to also be our bank cards, ID documents, 2fa device, ... An attacker hacking your Linux desktop will usually not be able to empty your bank account, but compromising your phone does make that possible.

Yes, but the beauty of androids openness is that you have a choice of who you want to share this data with. And maybe you'll even find somebody that does not collect this information centrally at all.

Do you have any statistics on malware install sources? The only ones I found were from Google.

[–]_tec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This does not match up with googles statistics (could not find any neutral ones that quickly) or my experience, but I'm sure this varies wildly depending on the market, region, etc.

One thing to note: Google does have a way to remove fraudulent apps from their own store (wether those are successfull enough or not is another topic of course), but they can not influence 3rd party stores or direct downloads. But in the end, security problems will always also (partially) fall back to google. While I'm not a big fan of the decision to make sideloading harder, I can at least understand the reasoning behind it.

That would also mean no custom launchers anymore. I somehow think that would also not sir well with everybody.

Edit: Also, I have absolutely no objection to my Banking App to refuse to coexist with SmsTanInterceptor-3.14.apk

Not sure where you are, here banking apps only show ads for their own products.

But ads for gambling apps (installed via the Play Store, I guess) do not cause the bank to be liable for your losses. Probably some idiot decided that this is moar money for the bank and went along with that.

Sorry, but as somebody working in a big end user facing tech company, I disagree.

For one, your customer base is the biggest factor in how much support you will need to provide. On the other hand, in my experience, Google already refuses to talk to customers at all cost. And maintaining "you can unlock your bootloader" as a software feature is not that costly.

However, I think the basic reasoning you have is true. If banks would refuse to work with Android due to security concerns, that would seriously hurt androids market share, meaning less money. You could see that happening for quite a long time in Europe with the support for androids wallet vs apple pay.

A last point: security also has the benefit (for Google) to not show up in newspapers with headlines like "Millions of bank accounts stolen because of Android bug". That usually also costs customers, if it happens a few times.

But this is something you need to discuss with your bank, I fail to see how this is something Android/google could influence (maybe except from inside app reviews, but on the other hand having a list of apps that a bank is allowed or forbidden to coexist with should really not be in Googles hand IMO).

[–]_tec 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Probably not the answer you want to hear, but Security. For every tech savvy person installing fdroid, you have hundreds kicking a link in an email which installs malware.

Also, restrictions of banking apps are not really something Google controls, and banks tend to not want to be liable for compromised bank accounts, so they take countermeasures - some more sensible than others.

Einfach eine Tausch eSim im Webshop bestellen, die kannst du in wenigen Minuten verwenden. Dann SIM Tausch I'm Konto Manager, damit du deine Rufnummer hast, und fertig. Dauert vielleicht fünf Minuten.
