  • Google Play Sandbox on GrapheneOS: how easy and practical is it?

    Jump

  • Does this function similar to a "Private Space" on newer Android or "Secure Folder" on Samsung?

    No. Unlike those, you dont have to unlock the app nd use them, the sandbox is just a normal apk but it dosent allow gservices root access and blocks most telemetry, leaving only the necessary APIs

    If you want a total user sandbox, you create another user and install gservices there.

    Are there problems with OTP in this environment?

    There are like 30 ways to send/generate an OTP.

    Are Trump supporters plain conservative or reactionary?

    Jump
    1. Radical is simply a term meaning that something about the thing you are describing is very different from the status quo, meaning conservatives can also be radical.
    2. reactionary is a term that is associated with many thing, but not the far right aka. Nationalsozialism.

    Therefore, I wouldnt describe Trump supporters the same as I wouldnt describe this post and image itself: nonsensical pure idiocy.

  • I'm back again with another question: Wine/Proton

    Jump

  • So, they're basically bridges that allow you to use some Windows programs in Linux?

    They are like really Bad cocaine. Sure, it may work, but if you want to give up that much time, might as well learn an alternative because the next version will need a new workaround.

    I read they can use vst files with a bit of work

    That's an emulator.

    Is there a difference between Wine and Proton

    Proton-ge is a fork of proton is a fork of wine, which only exists because Wine isnt made for gaming specifically and proton can't include a bunch of stuff because of legal reasons which enhance gaming further.

  • Why does Arch seem to have a cult like following?

  • Arch Hits the great spot

    It has:

    • a great wiki
    • many packages, enough for anything you want to do
    • its the only distros that is beetween everything done for you and gentoo-like fuck you.
    • and the Memes.

  • If americans come to germany and act like german public Transport is the best, how frickin bad is american public Transport?

  • The DB is like Sparkasse and others not „the” DB but a bunch of different regional companies. Some of them around bigger cities decided to make a regional zone network like The MVV. At The same time many make other regional Tickets with others, like the bayernwald ticket, which covers part of these MVV network and non MVV networks.

    So you might just think „well why not just make everything into a zone tarif”, but if you do that, if someone wants to go from Hessen to munich, since the zones are so big/many, they will have to pay way too much for many stations they will not even want to go to.

    But for smaller places like the mvv network, if you abolish those zones, most stations will just just as much and the small ones which only accounted for cents if your zone ticket will die out.

    So personally I think the problem with these tarif prices is just the over advertisement of time limited offers that only work for specific people and people not having properly learned about the 2 most important tickets in public transport: stripe cards for simple one way routes or zone tickets if you want a flatrate.

  • Dont know, I live in a pretty walkable City where I can bike in 5 Minuten from one end to the other, with a tech store, School, Beach, Bank, etc. Everything you would need. I have a train coming hourly if I want to go to the Beach or munich, but its admittadly way worse (20-30 mins) to bike to the next bigger City.

  • Can I get help installing Tekken 7 on my fedora please 🥺

    Jump

  • Im all for piracy, but cant OP make it kinda obvious at least instead of scaring away New users by making it look like Linux is way too hard

    Also, there are like thousands of threads about this already on other Forums made for piracy, and its still the same: download steam or Heroic, add New game, select the exe, and play

  • You install steam. You install tekken through steam. Its not that hard.

  • Its my experience with server software for beginners in general, which gets my enshittification senses tingling. I just dont trust in a company providing a hell of a service (like, getting tens if not hundreds of docker images to work with the click of a button) for free.

    With Truenas I know that their community branch is an ad for their enterprise service because no single person will key thousands for the caliber of support their enterprise has, so they make their money by offering cloud services. So that explains how it is still feasable for them to give me their dataset and UI and everything frontend for free.

    But with Casa, I just dont know where the money comes from. I dont see how they can keep up their operations and make a profit with this kind of effort. So I can only assume that many non essential services will be put behind a paywall.

    And if they do it, I still know that they use docker and ZFS, and I can spend a day or 2 learning how to set up a software raid and an ssd as a ZFS buffer for it, and everything else i‘ve set up with their OS.

    But thats the problem: Beginners dont know. Its like with the Iphone: If the user dosent learn how to deploy a docker instance from a compose file themselves, they will be bound to that frontend and all the enshittification that happens to it.

    Therefore I would like it way more if Selfhosting was more like the AUR. First learn how the Process of pulling an image and makepkg‘ing works firsthand, then you can use the frontend like yay. Not the other way around.

    But if no one learns how to do something the old fashioned way and relies on a frontend for everything, at some point the company behind the frontend will vendor lock everyone into their system, since there is no competition anyway

  • What direction do you think tech in general will go in 5 years (ignoring AI)

    Jump

  • Its really easy to be honest, you just have to slowly take away everything and give them choices, and they will be so occupied with discussing what they want to choose, they will not even notice how we slowly strangle them

  • Restrictive OSs and stuff will become the new normal, essentially stripping us of our freedom, more things will become 1st Party only and moving your data will be even harder than ever, essentially becoming cultural houses, basically what apple has already done

  • but it will always be far less aggressive about it than Google

    Whataboutism. Browser advertises itself as privacy respecting, yet builds on a non Privacy respecting OS. If they really wanted to protect the user, they would be open source, (at least the methods of protecting the user from tracking) firefox based and availible for linux and Android FOSS, similar to everything else (Firefox, Molly, Signal, etc). My whole Comment was about how they advertise themselves as Private, yet fail to address the most basic privacy concerns, essentially being an oxymoron. This was not about „which OS is less evil“ but „why did they not opt for the not at all evil?“

    Android also runs Google play services

    False. AOSP does not have Gservices, and has enough forks for hardware (Linaege, Graphene, Calyx, /e/)

    Both OS suck big time

    See my point about AOSP.

    I know the post was about Apple

    So you just posted some random comment just because?

    and I was pointing out that android is likely worse for privacy

    Also false, see my Point about AOSP.
