OH HEY EVERYONE, EVERYONE, THIS GUY LIKES JSON

Fuck you and your unstructured garbage.

I have no idea why people think translation is a perfect one to one exercise or why translation app don’t have options to tweak for “direct” or “interpretive” or even “poetic” translation sources or even just minor context options

It’s not an ad, it’s sponsored content about fake scarcity!

It’s very telling that they are moving away from the Nokia brand as well, probably looking to terminate the license agreement to recoup some costs

It appears that the flagship route didn’t work out for them (I rode my Nokia 8 for as long as I could, but the storage was giving me problems.)

Much like when Motorola went into zombie brand mode (after being sold to Lenovo) they leaned hard on the midrange which appeared to do ok, as well as their feature phones.

Google giving up on KaiOS was probably the other killer, money had to go into redeveloping their feature phone software.

Yeah that will serve them for jacking up those tea prices!

I remember this being discussed at length on various forums at the time (the legality, questions about what would happen if it all fell into the sea.) but as with so much of the Internet, it appears to have been largely lost. Luckily I was not imagining things this time and did find a couple of references.

Remember when they tried to buy Sealand?

Your reminder that Nintendo 64 games on the Nintendo Switch are using an open source emulator that Nintendo has not contributed to or endorsed in anyway, and is believed to be using game ROMs collected by preservationists.

Oh God do I even want to know what they’ve trained for their AI image generator? Will it ironically be the only one that can show mixed race couples?

I also hope we move away from coal, but if environmentalists are hell bent on getting a bunch of Dell monitors and a few keyboards in a museum hit me up.

I’m not scared of governments surveying me, as someone who has worked for several national and local governments, they don’t have the time or budget. I’m not scared of advertisers surveying me, they’re just going to try and sell me something anyway. I’m not scared fo data brokers, they don’t want my data, they want to sell it to some one else for a profit and don’t really care about it.

What I am afraid of is someone I’ve pissed someone off and that any of the groups above don’t care about my data enough to protect it from the asshole who will use it vindictively.

A lot of paranoia on this community :(

There’s a few sign in checks (The variety makes me think Disqus or something similar.), a couple of keep alives, your phone registering for Wi-Fi calling, Fallback DNS requests, a couple of CDN requests which I would get is likely update checks and finally YouTube content for NewPipe. I think I’m seeing five tracking cookies based on the rest of your apps here, probably being sent “Do Not Track” requests.

Isn’t this better to understand about what the program is trying to do, which a user really only has a passing influence on

It’s funny to me that someone now has to say in an Apple boardroom every so often:

“So how do we make sure this isn’t too successful in the EU?”

Am I allowed to think it’s weird the entire open source community can’t compete with SMB?

The maintainers of DHCP can’t even be bothered standardising a query to check if an address is currently in use, doubt they could take on being a CA at the same time
