  • I get your frustration with recent mozilla actions, but I don't think this one deserves it. For one your point seems like whataboutism. Secondly If you heard about Cambridge analytica it should be clear how much those algorithms shape our lives. It would be good to know for me if those algorithms are really just boring algorithms or if they are shaped by some political or company agenda.

  • witchOS? 🧙‍♀️ must be whatever runs on iBroom

  • Agreed. Google just didn't consent to you getting an app without ads. My hope is maybe we can circumvent it for a while with PWA or browser website bookmarks. Maybe long enough for alternatives to arrive or consumer protection to kick in. I refuse to give up hope even though I might need to abandon android. For now I guess I will just not buy another phone since androids time seems limited. Really hard to find something to recommend to family and friends that just works. My goto grapheneOS also seems more and more cut down with more and more apps refusing to work outside play store downloads or refusing to work on 3rd party OS.

  • Done! for the curious, original title, "Cirrus App dev pulling app from certified android devices in '26/'27" new, "Cirrus app dev informing the app will stop working on certified android devices in '26/'27"

  • Yes you're right. I've worded that wrong in the title!

  • First of all thank you for providing a foss app!

    I think it's a big difference if the platform tolerates you or actively wants to stop you from doing it. You got my fullest sympathy.

  • Thank you for these links they are fantastic! I was aware of the procedural lock in via play integrity services and also the lockdown on side loading so that didn't get past me, but I wasn't aware google also wants to alienate developers now by requiring ID. It seems to me google want to now fully commercialize the platform, transforming it into the ad infested network that web2+3.0 already became. I think their plan, by alienating non commercial devs, is that all apps will run on their ad models and non without them will be left.

  • Yes and google took care of it to stays this way by running yt at a loss for 10 years to kill all competition. Thanks capitalism. Any competitor would need to climb this mountain of 10 year investment billions before, having a chance of becoming a competitor, is not quite feasible. I've seen this trend time and time again people idolizing the golden days of a product when the company was out "acquiring users" when the product was great and fun to use before eventually becoming enshittifacted, not realizing they've been fooled. Its just rich people coaxing you in crushing the competition while running at a loss. The product was too good to be and you pay the price later because antitrust laws are a joke.

  • bloombergs ties to nvidia are just the cherry on top. While I hope they don't let them get away with it, I think ultimately the only move to beat the DMCA bs is to ditch yt as a platform, since its rigged in favor of rights holder pretenders. The USB stick idea is pretty clever.

  • Last time, when I used it, to take my save games over to cemu I was really appreciative how quiet my gaming pc was in comparison haha. I miss fire hopping in Mario kart :(

  • the wii-u console, required to run the gamepad is loud, and the display is 854 x 480 pixels

  • negligible compared to the pal display and jet engine noise?

  • How about a little strut id don't cost a dollar
