Both true statements. The banking apps that don’t work aren’t because google wallet doesn’t work, but because they use the same trust policies that Wallet requires in order to run (which GrapheneOS cannot meet because its not a “trusted” OS, per Google)

<end of list>

Some banking apps allegedly don’t work but i have never encountered one. If your bank has a mobile accessible website, it’s basically a non-issue.

Oh no, my privacy is ruined!

Your warning I heed

Running as root is risky

Time for firewalls

This beta OS

Looks minimal, simple, fast

Maybe I’ll try it

I wonder if those numbers have anything to do with the fact that Payday 2 is pretty regularly on sale for like $2,for a mature game, while Payday 3 is $40 for what is essentially a public beta based on the amount of things they’re having to fix/change/update.

Unless they make major changes as proposed by one of their minority stakeholders.

You mean go private, lay off a bunch of their devs, and hope the games just produce themselves for free?

This is fantastic! Now I know exactly which manufacturer to avoid at all costs, AND they’ve made it harder for their competition to use this shitty system. Dear Ford, please keep patenting bad ideas.

Imagine you run a restaurant, and a handful of people offer to pay to wash your dishes for you. Great deal right? But then you notice they start posting reviews of your food on Yelp, but only from the kitchen:

“Steak from the fridge was unseasoned and undercooked - 0/5”

“Chow mein was dry and stuck to the plate like it was sitting on someone else’s table for an hour - 1/5”

“By the time the soda got here, it was flat and fries the waitress dropped off were cold and soggy”

At what point do you decide maybe this isn’t actually in your best interest in the long run? How much do these rubes need to pay you in order to put up with their complications?

First I’ve ever even heard of this!

PS5 Exclusive

That explains it! Still good on them for making a game that looks like a joy to play, instead of another played out take on Military Industrial Complex Propaganda 3! Hopefully this can help bring us back towards more games that are just good fun

User to me falls in a similar category to “client” or “customer”, none are derogatory, but they’re all very transactional. “Fan” or “gamer” feel more familiar, like a hotel “guest”. It’s a minor distinction, but it implies more of a two way relationship, and from personal experience, the language used by leadership tends to closely tie to how employees treat their customers.

This is the third or fourth time I’ve seen them apologize for nerfing the weapons that made the game fun for people and then play the “we’re reevaluating how we do weapon balance” card. This is a PvE game, why do weapons need nerfs? If you feel like your game isn’t difficult enough, add a higher difficulty tier for the best players, and let the other 90% live out their bug smashing dreams.

Mmm, GPLv3 killing devices.

With at-will employment, it could be grounds for termination in many instances if you refuse

I work in a very adjacent industry, you don’t announce shit early to build hype, you announce it early to shut media the fuck up about “is (business) doing anything?”, “is (business) struggling? (small side project) is not nearly as impressive as (major project released like less than a year ago)”, and to keep investors (who read those garbage articles) happy.

Neither the project teams nor the fans like this system, but the issue is either we feed the news cycle with speculation on the Next Big Thing™️, or let them beat us with a stick until something new comes out.

Unpaid Linux ambassadors? Isn’t that just Lemmy?

Not necessarily, they’ll get some OS updates after google pulls the plug, but they’ll stop getting firmware and other hardware-specific updates.

Per GrapheneOS:

Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 are end-of-life and shouldn’t be used anymore due to lack of security patches for firmware and drivers. We provide extended support for harm reduction.

Saw this question posted elsewhere, so I’m paraphrasing somebody else, but the privacy benefits of Graphene OS are ESPECIALLY impactful if you’re using invasive apps. The whole point of setting up all of the extra sandboxing, storage limits, network restrictions, yadda yadda yadda, is specifically for people who might need or want to still leverage some apps from bigger, less trusted providers.

I’ll flip the question, if you’re only using trusted, vetted, open source applications, do you even need GrapheneOS? Why not LineageOS, which also comes free of gapps?

And this also fully neglects the inherent distinction between privacy and security. Maybe you trust google knowing you called your mom last night, but you don’t want your oppressive conservative government accessing your phone to view your Signal messages to your Grinder date. There’s more to privacy than just the number of times your phone pings Google Telemetry servers.

Honestly I don’t know, but it seems to me like extracting every single frame of a video as a lossless PNG is only really something that’s necessary if you’re trying to archive something or do frame by frame restoration. Either way, it is something that you hopefully aren’t doing every day, so why not just let it run overnight & move on?

Otherwise ask yourself if you can settle with just extracting a single clip/section, or what’s actually wrong with lossy jpeg with a low -qscale:v (high quality) - start around 5 and work down until you visually can’t see any difference

Sooo I probably shouldn’t hold onto any hope for that Gothic reboot we were promised?
