It’s fairly important to keep it private for US citizens, see here.

From a glance at the pne64 blog there hasn’t been a mention of PinePhone since Feb 2022 though. It doesn’t appear to be particularly active on that product.

should be poofed out of existence

This means something very specific in the UK.

shakes head in Brexit

It’s weird they mention the C2PA but don’t link to it: https://c2pa.org/

I’ve actually thought for a while now that a big software company should come out and say they support ReactOS for whatever their product is and advertise it like “Full, Oracle 23c DB support on ReactOS - but without the Microsoft tax.”

Yes, that’s not realistic between Oracle and MS, but it would be such a boon to ReactOS.

I’ll make it spin my desktop cube, force every window to move slightly so they wobble and play Louis Theroux’s lyric Jiggle Jiggle.

Why? Just because Windows uses can’t.

“first time player”

He is not, he’s just young.

creating an app that essentially copped their proprietary OS

The OS hasn’t been ‘copped’. They emulated the protocol, and your lack of understanding and confusing the two has led us to having this conversation.

Because you’re confusing the difference between an OS, an application and a protocol.

This is nothing to do with the OS.

He has a point though, you haven’t refuted that.

Why? As the article states this actually lessens security for everyone (including iPhone users).

Using Privacy Badger (15 trackers blocked), uBlock Origin (29 blocked - this keeps on increasing) and Consent-o-Matic (no idea how to check if this has done anything) I haven’t seen a cookie prompt, thankfully.

The wifi worked fine for me on Fedora Asahi, macbook air m2.

Chinese I think?

• Right - zhèngquè de

Not sure if that counts, considering it’s using the Latin alphabet and the language is tonal, etc.

EDIT: and Ilocano:

• Left - kannigid
• Right - kusto

EDIT2: and Indonesian:

• Left - kiri
• Right - Kanan

EDIT3: and Irish:

Going to stop now. I’m literally just choosing languages in google translate.

What an incredibly unmemorable name they’ve given it. Looks funs though.

This guy comes across as a bit of a nut. I don’t doubt the situations he lists, but saying things like “the whole of Azure was hacked” when it specifically was that an engineer’s auth cert was captured with malware to access M365 emails just screams panic merchant. Reading the posts they’re all #Cloud #Armageddon #2023 #hashtag

What a terrible article. Just pumps Huawei without any stats.

I bought it a month or so ago, and the interface for it I find genuinely bizaree. Like, I don’t understand half of what is being displayed on my screen. The menus are mental. I still don’t really know what my ‘goal’ is - it seems to change between gathering hearts to speak to Amy and getting keys or something.

I think the last time I seen something like this someone commented that the animal is actually having a fit, and so it quickly stopped being funny. Sorry.
