Those comments make me remember why I don’t use Odysee:

Use AdNauseam to fuck over jewtube

Youtube can suck a great big fat one,oh no wait they all ready do they’re owned by the Jews…

Nichts zu danken. Die Menge an Klassischem kommt auch daher, dass von den neueren Liedern viele nicht verfügbar sind. Deswegen ist die Playlist auch circa 11 Stunden und die Radio-Rotation nur knapp 8 Stunden

I had this exact image saved, but with a different colored cat. What was happening there

But someone has to make sure that the apps are being added to Nostr, no? Or does it just display all apks published on Github/Lab/etc?

Dialektik

Not something I will use and I don’t think Ente should focus their effort on this. At least it’s just a local app

Zapstore still has some kind of app repository, even if that isn’t the official name. And someone still has to publish the app

The less people use the app repositories the less support they get by app developers, they need any support they can get if they want to offer a decent number of apps

Murenas statement on the ids used for OTA updates:

For context, and I agree that this feature can be perceived with mixed feelings, especially because it was stupidly called „licence ID“ at the beginning of its implementation, we added it because we suffered from not having good statistics on /e/OS usage.

Of course we are not interested in tracking users at all, but we do want to know how many devices are running this or that build of /e/OS. This is very useful for making some decisions about device support and setting priorities for future development.

Just running statistics on OTA server request logs along with the device model didn’t give good results.

Now, and this is still part of our internal discussions, if we are able to find a way to get good quality stats without this OTA anon-unique identifier, we will consider it.

However, we sincerely believe that this anonID probably has no impact on user privacy (tracking IPs or device fingerprints would probably be much worse).

You can reset the id via ADB:

adb shell settings put secure ota_anon_hash <new value>

/e/OS is not fully degoogled, as DNS connectivity checks, hardware attestation provisioning, and eSIM activation all go through Google.

They are working on some of this, at least eSIM activation. Also do you have a source for DNS connectivity checks? AFAIK they have used their own for a while

It is often many weeks or months behind on security updates, especially in the WebView, which makes it easy to exploit.

This is a serious problem, however their update speed is comparable to a lot of default ROMs

It doesn’t support bootloader locking on many devices, and if you lock the bootloader on a phone that does support it, it could brick if /e/OS is on an older security patch than the stock ROM was

/e/os supports boot loader relocking on most official devices, however the community builds don’t support it. The bricking part has nothing to do with /e/os, it’s a hardware security feature of some devices. This would happen with any ROM including the official one

And finally, /e/OS’s text-to-speech sends what you say to OpenAI, despite local options being available.

I assume you mean speech-to-text? Anyway the feature is opt in and they have since updated it to include a prompt to inform you about what it will do. Their reasoning for a cloud option was that local options either are bad or have too high ressource usage (important as /e/os supports a lot of underpowered devices). Overall a stupid move, but they adjusted the feature to let users make an informed choice

If you can’t get a Pixel then iOS in lockdown mode is the next best option, however if you can’t replace your phone, LineageOS is much worse than Graphene although it is still much better than /e/.

Lineageos might have quicker updates, though it is even more connected to google, except for not including microg. However a lot of people will need google play services so they will have to install it anyway

I do as well, however that represents only a small part of f-droids userbase. A lot of people aren’t financiallt in the position to get a new device that support GrapheneOS/lineageos/eOS etc or need some apps that will only work on google verified devices

Ich hätte es eher als Drohung anstatt als inhaltliches Argument aufgefasst

Zapstore would also have to verify itself and all its apps as Google verified will block any unverified apps, no matter the app store.

Angesichts dieser Zahlen schlug Hessens Innenminister Roman Poseck vor, nicht auffindbare Migranten per Handyortung zu suchen

Geht das nicht schon? Es ist doch eine Straftat und da kann ein Gericht das anordnen. Oder soll das jetzt auch ohne Gericht gehen?

I played, the modern version is decent but you do notice that it ain’t no Doom quality game

I […] explicitly instructed Claude not to base anything on LGPL/GPL-licensed code

Did you even say please? Seriously what a great idea, use a model trained with code and then tell it to not use that code

Dachte ich mir schon, wollte es aber trotzdem nochmal dazu stellen. Gibt ja immer Leute, die das noch nicht kennen

Not OP, but /e/os has microg and for me signal is working fine (also /e/os on Fairphone 6). /e/os also has Unifiedpush integrated, so if you are willing to spend a bit of time you could use Molly (Signal fork) without google services

Ursprünglich war Nazi ja um sich ein bisschen über die lustig zu machen, da es das Equivalent von Sozi war. Wurde dann aber später selbstironisch genutzt wie z.B. der Text “Ein Nazi fährt nach Palästina”
