ChrisRR··on Your Phone Is About to Stop Being Yours: 70 Days Until Lockdown
The only hoop is that there's an initial 24 hour wait to unlock APK installs. After that it works as normal

You think the tech illiterate are going to turn on their own protection? So it's on by default, then this adds a 24 hour wait to turn it off

1 day old account, name is a string of numbers, every comment is argumentative. Yep, all the signs are there

There is a very real usability issue that has to analysed when developing high risk products, and that's popup fatigue.

A huge number of people just click accept to any popup they get because they're so fed up with seeing them. It's something that is often analysed in design of medical products

This keeps getting missed out every time it's reported. I can't figure out whether people genuinely don't know, or they're trying to push a narrative that this is worse than it is

Not quite. When the update is pushed, there will be an initial 24 hour waiting period to unlock your device. And then you can install unsigned APKs from hobbyist devs or Fdroid as before
ChrisRR··on Your Phone Is About to Stop Being Yours: 70 Days Until Lockdown
Just to highlight as this often gets misreported when this is raised.

You will still be able to install unsigned APKs, but the first-time procedure to unlock the ability will include a 24 hour wait. After that, unsigned APKs can still be installed as usual

And APKs outside of the Play store can still be distributed unsigned, subject to the 24 hour wait for Play Protect devices

I don't see the issue. Miles and yards are both imperial units.

Why is that crazy? They're both imperial units
ChrisRR··on What Is Gridifcation
Pretty much all of those tracks are 20+ years old though. This discussion is more about modern music

By extension to jazz, I would include prog rock/metal. There's still plenty of modern prog still being released. The scene is great

"We've been caught out showing that we didn't know what we were doing. And we think people sharing that is disproportionate"
ChrisRR··on Xbox wants you to pay 24 to 40 cents per hour to stream games you bought
Sounds fair. If you essentially already have a TV or other device as a thin client, I can see many people happily paying $12 for 50 hours compared to spending $1000 on the entire console
ChrisRR··on Claude Duet
I'm surprised that Claude's search is so bad. I've got months of random sessions in Claude, but if I try to search them for a phrase, it searches for any word that looks like any word within that phrase rather than the phrase itself

Your profile is brand new and already fascinating
ChrisRR··on The 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement is no longer viable
Because pork tastes better than tofu. It's the whole reason that tofu isn't more popular
ChrisRR··on The 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement is no longer viable
Let's be honest. People aren't eating tofu because it's fundamentally not that nice. There's plenty of ways you can improve it, but it just doesn't taste good without effort like most meats do.

Realistically the only thing we'd be able to convince people to do is to eat less beef, but you're never going to be able to convince the population to switch over to tofu

Similar to the UK. Neither cons or labour want to take action against reform, because then it labels them as the party that is overreaching
