Android piracy? What’s that?

Thank you both for the news @myszka@lemmy.ml .

Still largest economy by GDP. Next is China at 20 or the EU at 22.

It is not. Leave California and serve the rest of the country.

And the rest of the US is unimportant?

The rest of the US is still available?

Why not say “we won’t sell to any customers in California” and be done with it? If someone goes out of their way to install Ubuntu on their system, it’s up to them. Also, how is that going to work for OSes in the cloud? Will CI pipelines need to be age gated?

Thanks for testing @myszka@lemmy.ml and @oddpixel@lemmy.wtf !

Share you funk whale account when you. I’m curious too.

@mEEGal@lemmy.world Google has been allowed to operate this way because they are the only real alternative to Apple. If that alternative disappears, it will pressure either the community to rally and create awareness, for it to work on alternatives, or (and this is my bet) for a bigger instance like that of an EU nation or the EU itself, to step in. Since the EU is beginning to see the US threat and voices for digital sovereignty are getting louder, such a move by Google could realistically draw the attention of the EU Commission, parliament, and courts.

However, that can only happen if Google makes the mistake. If we prevent it from making the mistake, it will have moved the Overton window enough to make the situation worse than it is now, but not as bad as it could’ve been. So we’ll just end up with a worse situation and no political nor judicial attention. Google will have boiled the frog.

The short term gain of Google backing off will offset the long-term gain of a real solution.

We saw what it’s doing for Microslop with their forceful introduction of windows 11…

Not all harm is equal and not all harm is useful.

What do you not understand?

Don’t interrupt your enemies when they are making mistakes. Let Google make this mistake and the EU fuck them up.

The strength of the fediverse is exactly this: don’t like what an instance admin is doing? Move to another instance or create your own.

Go make your own “censor free” instance and stop whining, jfk

More peertube please!

It’s a resource hog and quite unstable. A major gripe I have with it is that it makes accessing what you downloaded very difficult because the documentation is terrible. It should be possible to mount all your downloaded stuff into a folder, but I have yet to figure out how. And despite all its resource usage, it is very slow.

The idea is amazing (peer-to-peer, content-addressed storage), but the implementation is extremely lacking.

The internet needs a better way to share stuff than a fixed list of files. It should be easy to simply browse through a shared folder and decide to participate in storing and hosting that file.

Having to split huge archives like this into multiple torrents is such a terrible workaround. It requires those with huge storage to host the torrents. People who just require a subset can’t properly participate.

Such a pity IPFS is so crap. It should be been the solution to this, but alas…

No. Libraries will always be useful. Not everyone has the credits to generate the tokens necessary to rewrite every lib in existence.

What happened?
