Or a “fantasma/casper”
You can assume a and b are real to make the joke make sense.
I am well aware of what AOSP stands for, but what you say doesn’t really make sense. OneUI, MIUI, etc are all derivatives of Google’s Android i.e. all come with Google Play Services installed as a system app. So, however you might frame it, it is still in fact a sensible thing to use the term “Android” to refer to “Stock Android” with Google when talking about these topics. Moreover, this is also very useful to make it clear to people who are not aware of the intricacies of AOSP how some operating systems DO NOT depend on Google services. You can see this being used by companies like Tutanota on how to “Degoogle your life”. The simply put, as a replacement for Android, CalyxOS, /e/OS, LineageOS, etc. Despite these being AOSP based ROMs, using Android to refer to google based systems and AOSP to refer to independent ROMs that do not come with Google Play Services by default is VERY useful to make the point come accross. If you don’t believe me, look at any popular news media source that talks about GrapheneOS, for example.
PD: I still believe the fact that Android is a patented trademark of Google gives validity to the expression, regardless of how one might feel about patent law.
Hahaha, it’s always fun to find rude people who are wrong. “Android is a trademark of Google LLC. It is used to refer to the operating system and related products developed by Google”. /e/OS is based on LineageOS, which is itself based on AOSP. The fact he differentiated /e/OS to Android does make sense, since Android refers to the stock version, which is cluttered with Google stuff.
That’s some pretty big (rude) talk for someone who isn’t willing to back their opinions with any sort of argument. Saying things like “Your idea is idiotic”, “You don’t understand what you’re talking about”, “You are just making shit up” but then proceeding to say “Because of what I mentioned, I won’t go into an in-depth discussion around how you would be tracked” is a pretty cowardly stance in my opinion. “I will discredit your arguments with ridicule and no counter points”.
I for one do see the value in privacy protecting crypto currencies. I concede that they are not a viable option for utilitarian and common practices since the use of crypto is not common and does require specific know-how. However, they do have their usecases. Whistleblowers, for example. Regarding the second point you made: I guess you are implying the main vulnerability is the humans involved in the transaction. If that is the case, the responsibility on handling the transactions anonymously falls onto the interested party i.e. the one who is interested in keeping the transaction anonymous will also need to devise a scenario that is compatible with anonymity.
On the other hand, if anonymity isn’t imperative and the users just want a more privacy friendly solution to payment transactions, I think it also makes sense. You can prefer the banks not monitoring everything you do but also not need to live in anonymity and accept the fact that, if interested, the governing entities will most likely have the means to track down your transactions. But that is most likely only going to affect criminals, not privacy conscious citizens.
Oh, well I haven’t had problems so far with Orion+UBO!
You can have it on iOS as well. Use Orion browser instead of safari and install UBO from the firefox addons store ;)
But the post says before the integral, so I understand what they did would be $dx \int f(x)$, which is disgusting
In my faculty, there’s often vacants for lab technicians, if you want to give it a go
That’s what he said. Pack 17 squares into a square
I use onlyoffice :)
Afaik it’s mainly for ventilation purposes. The openings on the bottom and top create a path for air to flow.
I thought exactly the same!
I don’t know, I have been using them for more than a year and am SUPER happy. I use their mail, their kDrive sync and calendar/tasks and have had nearly no problems. And when I have had a problem, I have gotten very fast email support, and they even pushed an update when I let them know there was a problem with the keychain acquisition on KDE. Honestly, it’s the best experience I have had ever with any cloud provider. I even have WebDAV support!
Not really! You can find the source code for almost everything in their github (I say almost because I haven’t checked if everything is in there, but I know the clients are because I’ve looked them up). Besides, aside from offering extremely competitive prices, they are privacy friendly (don’t offer end-to-end, but you can read their privacy policy) and use a very ethical infraestructure. I seriously recommend you check infomaniak up; I have been using them for 2 years and couldn’t be happier.
It is already open-source. All of the source code is on their github and, for docs, they use an implementation of onlyoffice very similar to the one in Nextcloud
That’s really a judgement call and my recommendation is that you decide what is most important to you:
If your main concern is either having the best hardware or the best security, go with pixel. If it’s repairability or having an ethically produced phone, go with fairphone. I am a user of GrapheneOS on a pixel myself, but am thinking of going for a fairphone whenever this pixel dies. I didn’t particularly like the fairphone 5 due to its size and design, but I really like the design of the FP6, so maybe I’ll buy the FP7 when it comes out ;)
