There was talk that the next version of Android will have a full terminal with some sort of Linux emulation. Would be cool if that allowed running the Linux version natively.

Honestly good on them for keeping the spirit alive for just about everyone who isn’t a direct competitor of theirs.

Let them make some money to continue to fund it. They even invalidated all sponsorships because of the license change.

Unless you personally were willing to fund whatever they make on their integration, then this is an ok play in my book.

Corporate executives love using the word pause to allow the possibility for a resume. It also makes it not a failure since it never finishes negatively: it is paused.

It’s word gymnastics.

I still hope as part of the antitrust ruling, they rip chrome from Google and undo this crap.

I’ve had good luck with uBlock Lite.

(Yes I could swap browsers but nah).

There’s another free video editor called shotcut. Give it a try, works great.

I know this may come off as a surprise: but I imagine that requiring JS in 2024 isn’t a big deal to most people.

Now of course Lemmy skews more into that small crowd.

I don’t blame any website for requiring JS for full functionality in 2024.

I might be misunderstanding the licenses so correct me if wrong.

Can companies use GPL code internally without release as long as the thing written with it doesn’t get directly released to the public?

… or does GPL pollute everything even if used internally for commercial purposes?

What? I have winco down the block… I’ll check for it next time I’m there.

Edit: confirmed not at our WinCo

Thankfully we can federate bot posts to make that easier :P

I live in the USA and can confirm never seeing this before.

Though I’d try it tbh

This reminds me of when a coworker wrote a protocol around sending encrypted messages back and forth inside of gchat to control another PC.

The reason was that: our company firewall doesn’t let stuff go in directly, but we have internet.

I thought that was a nutty tos violation.

Each system had a Google account and would login and listen for messages from the controller.

All local. Nothing sent. You can choose to not believe it, but it’s deceptive to imply they don’t say it’s local.

If you don’t believe them it’s one thing but they said what they said.

Lots of comments in here saying this sends stuff to Microsoft and yet that isn’t true. It’s an offline local feature.

I personally look forward to giving it a try.

I always worry the the backup USB drive would be dead.

I guess I’m one minority but kind of like an ability to fetch the key from the web. Doing that securely of course can be tough.

Yep. Someone thinks the Google name has some crazy value.

Probably bureaucracy. Also an inability to pivot even when things make no sense. Everything is a giant freight train that has very little ability to change direction or stop.

Oh and of course a healthy taste of not being transparent or honest.

‘in the 10s’

… man I feel old now lol.

That you have multiple fish tanks and a shrimp tank.

The Stuffler waffle maker and whatever can opener I have.

Thanks Tyler!

Unless your lists are 1000s of items long, just use text files in a folder.

Could even go fancy and use markdown.
