Is it safe for you to say this? If you say something they don't like, they could do the same to you, no charge, no trial.

Who is this they you are talking about? It sounds like antisemitism.

And yes its safe for me to say. I think not having ties with Russian state propaganda for living normally is a risk I'm willing to take, as its no effort for me.

All these other speculations you're pointing to you would have to prove to me first.

    while I don't approve of the method, leaving this person basically stranded and without indictment. I want to differentiate that the person in question is not a good person

    links in German:

    https://taz.de/RT-nahes-Medium-Red/!6039623/

    https://archive.is/t60qm

    The person seems heavily bound with Russian desinformation, ties with RT, and foreign letterbox company, to circumvent sanctions. Then got caught in the consequences of the freezing of Russian assets after the Ukraine war.

    I doubt this person is as innocent as your meme makes them out to be so let's differentiate please.

    I can't get past the train in alyx after getting the gun, I crash on the loading screen. I tried both bazzite and cachOS with the same result. Getting it to even run is always a hassle too and feels like it comes down to luck if it runs or not. Multiple components seem to fail at random either it doesn't launch or the headset stays black, or I can't get the game to run and stay in the cloudy sky or the room scale messes up and I'm half stuck in the floor. The whole experience is awful even though I really want to enjoy VR. I got myself a really beefy pc with a 9800x3d and a 7900xtx so I hoped not having to struggle with nvidia drivers would make things easier but I'm at a loss what to even try anymore or if its worth it.

    Your specs aren't too far outside of the recommended specs on the steam page, for you to only get 10-20fps. Are you sure your monitor is connected to the GPU?

    I treat it mostly the same I treat games on linux, if your game doesn't run, because of spyware-like DRM, looking at you EA, then I guess it's not for me. Play integrity api is the same in that regard.

    Had to switch my mom to a PWA for one of her apps though.

    Unfortunately the trend is that those apps usually require play integrity api https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide#apps-banning-grapheneos which requires that the app is running on a verified android(stock) device and custom ROMs can't run it same for waydroid.

    and its just starting, its about to get even worse https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/08/elevating-android-security.html?m=1

    I get your frustration with recent mozilla actions, but I don't think this one deserves it. For one your point seems like whataboutism. Secondly If you heard about Cambridge analytica it should be clear how much those algorithms shape our lives. It would be good to know for me if those algorithms are really just boring algorithms or if they are shaped by some political or company agenda.

    Opening my weather app this morning I was greeted by this warning:

    Google has announced that, starting in 2026/2027, all apps on certified Android devices will require the developer to submit personal identity details directly to Google. Since the developers of this app do not agree to this requirement, this app will no longer work on certified Android devices after that time.

    It's the first time I hear about this, seems to be about:

    Tech crunch article from august, "google will require developer verification for android apps outside the play store"

    Cirrus app: Github

    Was this a big thing I somehow missed? I hope more devs will follow suit.
