It does not rally matter if there is a conspiracy behind or not. You can't buy a phone that has a new powerful processor, dual-sim, sd-card and 3.5mm jack. It is just does not exist.

As user I don't care if it is a cartel or just "more profitable", but if this situation destroys companies that makes business from consoles or pc-gaming. Then it will be the colapse of the industry. First will be the hardware, once the hardware is gone, will be the software...

Ramson notes must be coloured so that it is clear it isn't a scam.

Not sure what country are you from. Last time I tried to make a throwaway account to sell something in Facebook Marketplace I was welcome with a submit picture to test if you are real which when uploaded with a IA generated picture got blocked.

Would not make more sense to install a traffic light with a button, press button, goes red for cars, kids cross. They could also have the button deactivated at school hours and work with a time counter.

I am in the same boat, every time I like something, it is a commercial failure. They should really hire me to check if I like whatever project they got in mind and if I do, cancel immediatetly and save the losses from being a failure.

I like the idea, but would like to be able to select a language and see the small web of that language. There are more languages than English, and this tool could make them thrive.

Also somehow if they are clever, they could use this for those translation system they are using, but please let us select our own language without feeding automatic translation like youtube does).

That is what I meant, they are no different from any other brand. But they could be. They could guarantee no enshitification, or an open platform.

Exactly that is my point. They could be. There is no incentive to buy Philips over any chinese brand if they all are going to spy.

But it could be different. Like how Oneplus allowed Cyanogen on their devices.

Here could some European company that already makes tv to step in and create something good, with no ads, and even better if they promise to open the sourcecode, bootloader etc... Something like Philips for example. But I guess they are too busy making lightbulbs to notice that they could fill that gap on the TV market space.

What about the "App and device verification based on Google Play Integrity API and Apple App Attestation" that was in the readme?

Was this discarded? Is it not necessary anymore? Can someone without writing their own implementation use the app without using any of those two?

You mean that system that requires either to use an original unmodified Android phone, or a iOS phone and it does not work in absolutely anything else?

We don't know also most of the software failures that cause death.

Pretending that bugs don't kill people is not the way forward to solve the issue of having bugs in absolutely everything we have to deal with, sometimes by force.

Bridges are expected to stand, for example, a lorry hitting at 120km/h speed a pile. Which is "a plausible attack".

I do, it is indeed. I'm always surprised that a single developer in javascript managed to do it.

Adding a text that has a couple of pixel white borders is something possible in GIMP, yet a nightmare compared with photopea which just copy cs2 way of doing it.

And that is without having to edit the text in case you made a tipo.

Now, if we are talking about doing batch image editing in python. Gimp us the best tool I've found.

When a bridge falls, there is a case in the courts, and sometimes engineers go to prison.

Why shall be different with code?

I never understood this UI problem.

Because... You can copy the UI of the leader and problem solved.

There you have GIMP with an absolute nightmare UI to use, but people keep saying, just get used to it. On the other hand, a single developer, in javascript, made a copy of photoshop, and most people I know prefer to use that over GIMP...

Just copy the UI that works, if you can't research your own UI.

I believe (as it's open source) there is nothing impeding anybody else to compile grapheneOS in a samsung S10, which would not be as secure, but should still work as any lineage

However I haven't seen anybody try

Dealing with Honor support is a pain. They don't understand absolutely anything and is impossible to get them out of their script if you have a problem.

I have a Honor 200 pro, and the software is buggy and constantly replaces user configurations with their defaults every 3 or 4 days.

I would avoid anything Honor in the future at any cost.
