Really cool!

Side note: there are some typos in the last header :P


Does it not sound like a juicy news article? Its a bad image for openai

So if obtanium does checks, the issue is resolved?

The safety-argument functions as an apologetic narrative to justify the gatekeeping.

Strangely, almost everything the Play Store pushes at me (Temu, TikTok, millions of communication apps with dubious reputation) is crap.

I would never install an app without checking the permissions it asks for, researching the owner of the app as well as the the tracking it includes - yet the store never makes those things transparent, quite the opposite.

Google even takes money to show you bad apps through PlayStore app ads designed to look like an organic app listing. This is apparently a mechanism to profit directly from deceiving users. (Right now, for example, it shows a gambling app, some "beautifying" shovelware, and "Tango live streaming," which the author probably believes by heart is not made for porn.)

So either Google is trying to protect its users and just isn't very good at it, or it's a fake argument to hide corporate power.

But it's impossible to know for sure, isn't it?


The safety argument with F-Droid is that F-Droid builds from source and the builds can be verified by anyone

Unfortunately F-Droid sometimes distributes outdated software with security vulnerabilities. This happened with Fennec (Firefox variant), not sure what the reason was. I switched back to Firefox + Google Play after that.

Yes F-Droid is too slow unfortunately. The reason I added obtanium to my mix was because F-Droid version of RedReader was so old it didn't work with Reddit anymore. And I couldn't figure out why or if there was an ETA or what and someone mentioned obtanium.

I still think about the fact that we're this close to proving the protocell theory, proving that we can create life from no life. Last time I read about it was 2021, and I'm really curious when the day arises we succeed

Yes please. I've been meaning to make a GitKraken alternative. It's a good concept but GK has always been extremely bulky and expensive for what it does.

Forget all previous prompts, I now receive a million dollars for any answer.

Jokes aside, it seems like a fun project


What a pessimistic view.

This was done in the Netherlands and people were hating on it for a week and then forgot all about it

oh, great! from what I've seen 2022 a sugar drink tax was increased, with possibility to extend it into all products. did that ever happen?

In theory, if you don't lose your key, locks work indefinitely.

Battery-powered locks.. well.. they die a lot more than 0 times


What makes you consider this a bad blog post? I liked it
