thankfully it's usually the other way around: the glass is opaque and only transparent with power. So you don't need to worry about an ill-timed power outage.
And even if open source doesn't fit their business model for any reason, there should be regulations that force these companies to open source everything in any situation that they stop offering support.
KISS. At first I didn't like the lack of multiple home screens, in a way these are replaced by swipe gestures in KISS, but after getting used to them they're much quicker to trigger actions than pressing buttons. It turns out I don't miss multiple home screens that much either.
I tried using Lawnchair, but I missed the "search-first" property of KISS that makes opening apps really quick.
it's based on this gist - follow the instructions at the top: you'll need to set the right Sidebery preface to make it work, it'll let you toggle it on and off easily.
function command_one() {
# activate the environment
source "$XDG_DATA_HOME/venvs/alpha.sh"
# run the thing
actual_command_one
}
function command_two() {
# activate the environment
source "$XDG_DATA_HOME/venvs/alpha.sh"
source "$XDG_DATA_HOME/venvs/bravo.sh"
# run the other thing
actual_command_two
}
The only time I saw a data breach changing user behavior was with LastPass scandal last year. Unless it's literally the people's bank account passwords that's at stake, I don't think most would care at all.
I agree, regulation - either enforced by the platform or authorities - may as well be the only way.
it's a social network. Some people do post things related to health and fitness, and it's another gold mine of private data for ad targeting, so from a business perspective it makes sense to have features that integrate Instagram with these health and fitness gadgets.
This list is a summary of the data they may collect. Using these apps don't mean you're handing all this info automatically. Most of these are actually voluntarily shared e.g. when the user connects a fitness app to it; or actively requested e.g. when they make use of location sharing in the in-app chat.
The more in-app functionality a user makes use of, the more data they'll hoard about that user.
They're not permissions, they're the types of data that may be collected. Every popular closed source app has a similar obscene list of private data they may collect, but in most cases it's the user that chooses to provide that kind of information voluntarily anyways.
I don't think these are permissions, just a list of collected data categories. Google Play's equivalent is the "Data Safety" section and lists the data collected, shared with third parties, and security practices in use. Basically just a more readable privacy policy, but agreeing to that by installing the app does not grant the app with the equivalent permissions automatically.
I've never seen a single porn post here and I have NSFW enabled. Maybe because of the instance, but still, I occasionally check "All" sources and haven't seen a single one.
I too genuinely wonder how I managed without carrying my fleshlight with me.
