What computer model is that? Might be a special feature of your firmware.

Maybe you could check under the BIOS/UEFI settings.

The app is open source, yes, but the app is not taking your Spotify apk and patching it locally or anything.

The app is downloading the patched APK from somewhere obscure. That is it. No local magic. How do we know it is not compromised?

How are we sure xManager is legit? It feels like there could me many ways it is malware.

There is a part of me that wants to try this, but I have one question.

I believe this distribution allows you to have multiple versions of the same library to work with different programs at the same time, correct? Does this mean that each program downloads all its dependencies independently? If the answer is yes, I am staying with Arch. Too much bloat.

Samsung Galaxy S10e because it's the smallest I could reasonably get.

How many times I've seen protonmail/tutanota/anonaddy emails not even reaching some big-ass company inbox or even spam folder.

Everyone subscribe! We should make it at least the main KDE community.

Love me some officially supported federation!

For a second I thought they were launching their federated lemmy/kbin instance. With different communities, like "support", "bugs", "news"...

Would have been freaking awesome and a great use case for Lemmy and federarion.

Good for them anyway.

Yep, sadly that happens, currently I just go to my instance's website, search it there (wait a few seconds because it takes a while) and subscribe there. I'll see it reflected in Jerboa soon enough.

Yeah, this too... like... I have Bitwarden synced in different computers/phones, so at least most of the passwords will still be somewhere.

I mean, I also thought there is probably not that many people... BUT your comment made me actually think otherwise. RIF's 5% is actually huge!! And that is just one app; we don't even know how many are using FOSS apps through F-droid... so I'd say the third-party app ecosystem is probably very, very big, I'd say easily at least 30 % of mobile users are third-parties.

How many millions of users actually installed the official app and went "oh, god, nope", or found out about better apps later on... I'd say that is also pretty big. And not happening the other way around.

So, pure speculation here, but this is probably Reddit's desperate move to change a very possibly growing tendency of third-party app users.

MullvadVPN is great. It's a no-bullshit VPN.
