The government hired Chinese nationals to work on their systems, and then hired contractors to watch them? What the hell?

To be more specific - relockable with a custom AVB key. I think most devices can relock with the default Google AVB key.

The insects are great. Would love if I could burn them like other page elements.

This project seems to be using Chrome to load the pages through Puppeteer.

Ticketmaster can easily check `if(navigator.webdriver)` before loading the page. I don't think that can be fixed without recompiling the browser. thank you Google, very cool.

EDIT: actually, the following flag might work?

--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled

to be fair, it is a funny meme website, not a product.

to me, it's giving "just fuck me up" vibes https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-barber

totally agree. it becomes extremely obvious when applications are poorly optimized or have outdated build systems that don't support ARM.

imo, if the software doesn't work without issue on my Pi, it isn't good enough for prod.

Google engineers are among the best paid in the US.

Are you being intentionally obtuse?

half of the random 3p apps include Google advertising SDKs. How do you reconcile the fact that the internet permission still cannot be toggled, almost 20 years after it was required in the app manifest?

I have been looking into this as well. There are a few devices from GPD Win that are smaller than the Steam Deck but also have a physical keyboard.

Time to switch banks.

If you asked me yesterday if Google would ever block sideloading, I would have said no.

All bets are off at this point.

Google to F-Droid: "no signature for you"

The internet permission is the only regular manifest permission you can't toggle in the settings. It is an obvious win for an advertising/surveillance company like Google. What is wack about it?

Similar changes have been done before, the security sandbox behaves differently based on the app's minimum/target API level for backwards compatibility.

That's also why there's a warning before installing really old apps, they may run with extra permissions.

Force enabled, more like

Play Protect is just spyware to monitor app usage & exploitation. It doesn't prevent or protect anything.

Not just difficult - it becomes impossible. You can no longer develop any android app without Google's approval, just like iOS. The official emulators might not even work.

That notice already exists. In fact there are 2 or 3 extra confirmations required to sideload apps today.

This is crazy. I can't install my own apps on my own phone anymore.

I am gonna start carrying around a laptop with a 5G modem instead.

I just meant that I don't know why you chose to link the Linux version. Sorry, I didn't intend to be rude.

TSA & DEA regularly steal cash from travelers

What did I complain about? You're getting upset over absolutely nothing. That's not healthy.

Not to WhatWG apparently

A "header-only" library can presumably be multiple header files, which is not what you are discussing.

Why not say what you really mean? Which seems to be: "single-file" library.

It's there. The website just has poor navigation & OP linked specifically to the Linux version for whatever reason.

What is the significance of a library being "header-only"?

C headers can include arbitrary code, right? So why is "header-only" better than having file.h & file.c?

Almost?

Not true. The article you linked states that the current nefarious block list still exists, it just isn't growing any more.
