In the end their name, their achievements and their reputation has been transferred, and nothing else. I feel they (the studios’ teams) have been made use of to then deceive people who trust the names.

I’m sure you’re building the best business you can.

Hmm, this is interesting, it looks like if it was a multiboot solution

Theft Detection Lock is a powerful new feature that uses Google AI to sense if someone snatches your phone from your hand and tries to run, bike or drive away. If a common motion associated with theft is detected, your phone screen quickly locks – which helps keep thieves from easily accessing your data.

Why would we need AI for that? That just makes the function unpredictable. There must be a real solution to detecting this.

While I agree with you, the first step for user centric Android flavors regarding security is to support relocking the bootloader, with a custom (preferably the user’s own) digital signature. As long as we dont have that, an attacker could flash or just boot a custom bootloader through fastboot that does its own thing.

However that doesn’t really depend on Android system developers, I think, as the problem arises from the inferiority of almost every phone’s bootloader (chain) (because most phones does not support setting up a custom signature for bootloader verification), and probably that can only be reasonably solved by device manufacturers, because as I understand, bootloaders do a lot of heavily device specific things, so there cant really be a common (primary) bootloader, and making one for each phone is a lot of work that also involves lots of reverse engineering, and maybe the early bootloaders cant even be overwritten on some phones…

Do you think this one will be there too, with tencent in the picture?

I could totally see a law banning this in the public

Not because of Biden, but to me threads blocking is a positive. I hope instances won’t undo their decision.

It’s also something if it only supports that in software, with you needing to refill the paper once more.

I don’t want to be that guy, but if they really want to be tracking prints, black and white printing does not need to make it impossible. There’s other ways to code information.

It does nothing, how can it be heavier than an actual Linux Distribution?

Are you sure about that? Data mining, even to the extents that take toll on user experience, is a common thing in consumer electronics

Outlook (the one that uploads your email login password to microsoft, and which markets this as a feature)

I have thought about that too, but I’m pretty sure the user has difficulties even before that, like they are copying one by one and then deleting from the old place.

But considering the shrug face at the end, and I also think there’s something wrong with this bug report, I have a feeling that this is not even a honest issue.

Probably none, but I think OP did not say this

Actually it’s not rare that a part of interprocess communication between a software’s processes is done through localhost networking

If that is the biggest problem, I wouldn’t keep myself from buying from them. I think Valve is generally a “good behaving” company, probably mostly because they are not on the stock market, and I would expect mostly any other company to do much more shitty and monopolistic things when (or before) it has grown to the size of Valve.

Additional edit: Reddit has written an official post stating it was an issue after production code deployment and was reverted

In their mind the issue was not the blocking of users, but that the users have started complaining. I bet they just reverted it so that they can bring it back slowly, after just checking whether it is effective at all

Hmm, sorry, I have probably remembered it incorrectly.
I remember seeing a liberapay-yellow button below the bottom right of some videos, but now I can’t anything about it either.

It seems there’s no liberapay integration, however there’s a support button if the channel sets it up. It can show arbitrary text, like links to liberapay and similar.
Here’s an example, and mentioned in the FAQ here

Oh yes, sorry, and also not complete but compete

It already has “Patreon” integration, with Liberapay, which is better because there are lower overall transaction fees (Lp itself imposes none).

Patreon would be probably relatively easy from that I think, as that’s just one more platform that works in almost the same way.
