If Samsung does it, it would be great for the deGoogle movement, and would open the floodgates for others.

I’m not sure about that. samsung is not that respectful of ownership righs, in my eyes at least

So yeah, I can’t go to Magic mountain anymore because cutters are also liars.

and security was too

Samsung? that must be a joke right?

I agree that android itself is not really our “opponent”. It’ll take at least a decade until the community puts together something as remotely capable as android. It would be much easier to take AOSP, or Calyx, and revert google changes that do not tie users into google services, but still were strongarmed in there by google, several things that are limiting user freedom (that is, without accessible options to turn the restrictions off).

Shiiit, I really don’t want to go back to Google and all their sponsored/AI/tracking bullshit.

I can tell you with confidence that I simply just won’t.

windows reminds me of the upper and lower facilities in Portal 2. once I somehow managed to trigger a warning window about the memory usage of 16 bit applications on windows 10, even though I think support was removed for them long ago

Also, don’t keep it running if not needed.

can you enforce that with flatpak? I often see the notification that “X program is still running in the background” or something similar, but the flatpak permission settings did not seem to have such a setting

Of course, that’s why I said…

the function is called Virtual Memory in Windows

then I misunderstood you. I thought you meant swap = virtual memory

Privacy preserved, basically.

only if the browser cannot run in the background, and it cannot access any of your fikes, the DBus of your regular user’s session, and other facilities

JXL for the win! when will we get support for it in firefox though…

Also, you’ll look odd holding your phone up to the screen.

just connect another display, set it to mirroring, and point a camera at that. or just use a video capture card.

except on firefox of course, because fuck you for even trying to protect a little bit of your privacy

you know, sometimes I wonder if Matrix could be used in a business setting, and worry about its rough edges and buggy features of Element. but you know what! it would probably be fine! not worse than teams, and at least they don’t want to fuck you over!

regarding the quote, will they just not let linux users connect to the call when that restriction is turned on?

edit: nvm, the article talks about that too

that site is weird, appends its domain in a “ref” parameter to any urls on it… wikipedia, youtube, amazon…

Actually I would want that announcement feature.

The swap file or pagefile is automatically set up in Windows 10/11. You have to do something manually to prevent it.

yes. but it still is different from virtual memory. that’s a broader thing.

By making the swap file larger, which may be an issue if the hard drive doesn’t have enough space left, and if not it will still increase the amount of time needed to recover data from the swap, because it’s larger.

then open the control panel and fix the swap setup. and then enjoy your more ram. the solution to this problem does not seem to be not upgrading to have more ram.

virtual memory is related, but that’s a broader system that also gets used when no swap file was set up.

I agree that adding more RAM won’t necessarily make the problem go away as windows might still swap the game out if it deems it more important to cache more files in RAM, but I don’t see why that would make it worse.

You elect lawmakers.

well I personally certainly don’t. I have too little power to do that, and I’m afraid too much care about non-existent made up problems, and too few about things like this.

Fascinating.

your response actually is! does not sound too genuine.

If you and I can agree that children shouldn’t be in casinos, then they shouldn’t be allowed into the casino. I am open to your suggestions.

children shouldn’t get uncontrolled access to smartphones. access needs to be controlled by the parent. For medicine and cleaning things most already know to place those items out of children’s reach. from this aspect, we would need to tackle the problem that the children obtains the parent’s phone. some small items, maybe cleaning appliances too, are made to have a bad bitter taste so that children don’t want to put them in their mouth. according to that pattern, we would need to mandate that online services are ugly and irritating to use. but is that the solution we actually want? I don’t think so. or could we just ban services that are tuned to make people addicted, like drugs? but how do we define that, and that too is a double edged sword.

but ultimately, we either make casinos unattractive, or make the parents be the casinos’ first line bouncers, in the digital world.
the first one sounds good, but the internet and even social media is not only for taking advantage of people, contrary to casinos.
the second one requires cooperation. how would you incentivise cooperation? tie benefits to it,or part of the benefits, through child protection services or something?

is this a joke? any of those buildings are smaller then the cars they have!

we need to get any smart glasses and similar banned from public spaces in europe that is capable of any kind of imaging
