Open Source@lemmy.ml•What We Talk About When We Talk About Malware | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
31·6 days agoGoogle has simply officially said they won’t block ADB sideloading as part of the change, so it’s the same old ADB install method for unsigned APKs that devs use.
Shizuku uses ADB commands to install apps so it’s much of a muchness there - same thing. Though I speculate Google will start to block Shizuku installs (of the main Shizuku app) from the Gplay store in soonI’m sure due to ‘breech of T&Cs’ of some kind, but really to add more side-loading hurdles.

502·7 days agoNew electric car rival offers 2000KWh engine and tight styling. Comes with no batteries or wheels.
Would an article ever run like this? This is a combo deal on a motherboard & gfx card. Not sure how it became a ‘Steam Machine rival’.

13·7 days agoYou can definitely remove the APK, but it’ll just reinstall itself next time Play Store services do their thing. In addition, Google Play won’t allow installation of new apps without approval from the service, so removing it will block install via official GPlay.
The main ways to avoid it to my knowledge are to either go through the official ADB method (if you have official Google Play) or use a de-Googled phone and install via alternative stores eg Aurora / F-Droid.

News@lemmy.world•California bans ‘sell by’ food labels to cut food waste and confusion
1·7 days agoGood point. It bummed me out to learn that the majority of canned goods are also lined with plastic… And glass jar lids also have plastic or silicone. Likewise that older / lower quality cans/lids have been manufactured with BPA, so it’s hard to avoid plastics in packaging no matter your choice.

News@lemmy.world•California bans ‘sell by’ food labels to cut food waste and confusion
20·8 days agoI think this brings it in line with most of the developed world. Although in Australia we don’t have ‘best if used by’ just ‘best before’ / ‘expiry date’ mandated by law for most products. I think some dried and canned foods that have a shelf life greater than 3 years are exempt and usually have a processing date / date packaged instead.
Yeah but in the editor’s defence it’s a really cool photo.

10·12 days agoI wonder who will be the first CEO to start applying the “too big to fail” statement openly to their business.
I’m betting on OpenAI as they’re the ones with the most to lose. They have already been courting govt in investment heavily, including asking them to back loans up to nearly a trillion earlier this month, and an equity stake.
Literally the “most valuable companies in the world” asking for daddy taxpayer to lend then their credit card.

Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 10 support quietly extended until Oct 2027, as users reject Windows 11English
1·15 days agoDid i say they needed it?
This may surprise you, but to your average person (or even your technical person who is time-poor for whatever reason), moving to a new OS is a frustrating or time consuming process, so they delay the move until they get (or build) a new PC.
Your average person stays on the same OS for the lifetime of the computer.

Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 10 support quietly extended until Oct 2027, as users reject Windows 11English
2·16 days agoThat’s great to hear. I’ve had mixed results with migrating Windows editions in the past, and I believe it’s still an officially unrecommended process due to hiccups that can occur during, and difficulties in diagnosing issues afterwards (can be a bit of a frankenstein as far as libraries WinSXS content, system logs, etc).

Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 10 support quietly extended until Oct 2027, as users reject Windows 11English
21·16 days agoI love Linux and use it myself, but not everyone is ready to move.
For them, an extended Windows 10 EOL is a nice bridge to give them some more time to plan a main OS install (backup all their data, test replacement apps, etc) as OP said. It’s not about knowledge or capabilities it’s about options, time and many people waiting until they can afford a new PC build to move to linux.




Appalling. I’d never do this.
Its much better with the laptop sat on its side vertically so you can see the screen properly.
