I’ve never heard this and wouldn’t have believed it even if I did.

Most likely it will work with a VPN, yes. But having lived in America for so long, I never thought I would expect to have to use a VPN to access a website with content censored by our government.

I thought it looked like CloudFlare. Does that mean the US government is leveraging Cloudflare in order to block whatever they choose, assuming it has that as its underlying architecture?

F-Droid is great, but it’s only for FOSS. So it won’t host content like TikTok on it.

You’re right lol

APKPure

It looks a little sketchy to me, I’m seeing mixed things on reddit about it.

An alternative application you can use to download Google Play apps is the Aurora Store (https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore), but I think it still obtains the files from Google Play.

For some reason I can’t edit my post, however I wanted to add that I attempted to post this to reddit under the /r/Android and /r/google subreddits, but Android is only mod approved posts, and the Google subreddit just straight up removed my post without even informing me.

Isn’t it possible to just move the site under a different domain name, or have mirrored secondary servers in an entirely different location in case the primary one gets taken down?

Looks like everything is essentially in the same spot UI wise, but with a native application that hopefully gets moving a lot faster.

I’ve noticed that currently on Bitwarden, for auto fill it takes 6-7 seconds just to get authenticated with fingerprint and fill in the username and password field. That should hopefully be down to like 2 or 3 seconds.

It’s not “irregular”, and it’s been done before as protest. A Buddhist monk did it in the past to protest the slaughter of cattle.

They do like money, but Valve also loves providing a service to people.

Nobody uses Epic Games, Origin, Ubisoft Connect, or Battle.net because they want to, they use it because they have to.

Steam Awards is a bit janky sure, but to say that their inability to run pointless awards properly ruins the convenience and value that Steam brings to its users would be a gross overstatement.

It would be better spent in our hands. I for one would like to keep the money I work for.

B-but that’s communism! /s

Does anyone know yet if long COVID is an auto-immune disease? I only assume it is but otherwise don’t know.

That’s what the ‘Lockdown’ feature on Pixel phones does.

Impossible to force a fingerprint or face scan because it asks the phone to only accept passcodes.

I do see it as a potential problem with moderation on Lemmy’s end. You have all of the users from Threads interacting with Lemmy and Kbin users. It’s possible there’s an influx of accounts on here that are trolling, and it becomes unmanageable to moderate everything on Lemmy’s side.

But Threads will have no problems with content moderation.

I travelled recently, and was filled with disgust when I was told to scan my boarding pass and look into the camera to get in line. I would have asked to go through an alternative line but didn’t want to miss my flight.

What the fuck is wrong with people

The Samsung SCH-U740

It was a good one! It literally flipped 2 ways.

It’s possible competition will just recognize their advantage and pay workers more to get that step ahead.

I read somewhere that they will still be green. It’s confirmed by Apple as well.

The reason they’re moving forward with this is because if Apple tries to sue, it could make a case for Google that Apple is trying to take control of messaging in the United States. If they don’t sue, should Google come after them down the line Apple can say “we’re aware of 3rd party iMessage and decided to not take action to increase interoperability” yadda yadda.

That’s my guess anyway.
