Technology@lemmy.world•Qualcomm and Google team up to offer 8 years of Android updatesEnglish
2·11 months agoHonestly I’m impressed with all the work the community has put into projects like LineageOS but when I recently checked the supported devices list I feel like we’re at the lowest point we’ve ever been and now to buy a phone for 10 years means to buy a Pixel.
Not often I say this but: Good job Google.

7·11 months agoDo people really treat their phones so badly? I have a Galaxy Note II (Almost 12 year old phone!) that still works. Thanks to community support it has Android 12 installed and it’s currently working as a radio in my garage.
My uncle is using my old S8 as his daily driver and it works no problem.

34·11 months agoI still can’t understand how I can install modern Windows or Linux on a 20 year old PC but the same can’t be done with 4 year old phone… 8 year is cool but it’s nothing compared to 20 years.

42·1 year agoRenting a PC is insane in itself but on such terms it’s even worse. I hope the FTC or some other regulatory institution will look into this.
Honestly I don’t know how it is even possible to make such a dog shit product. I think my first webrtc tutorial app works better than this piece of shit.

Technology@lemmy.world•The Fennec Android browser is currently behind on Firefox security updates, deemed unsafe by F-droidEnglish
100·1 year agoIt’s just very unfortunate timing. Google removed some library Firefox depended on in NDK and it meant developers need to make significant changes to their packaging system. At the same time critical vulnerably was discovered in Firefox. On top of that, everything happened when main developer of Fennec was away from home and short on time. But from what I’ve seen on Fennec gitlab most of the work is done so you should expect update soon.

14·1 year agoGood that most apps I use now are open source but for those few that I still get from Aurora Store it might be a death sentence but perhaps this API could be spoofed?

Technology@lemmy.world•Not even poor Notepad is safe from Microsoft's AI obsessionEnglish
2·2 years agoPersonally I could never use a text editor that is free and not open source (Aside from built-in editors). For simpler stuff like config files etc I use Kate which looks nice, has syntax highlighting and is cross platform. For more complicated stuff I like VSCodium. Both are well maintained, and work great.
Well, that depends on definition. But the joke is why on earth would you want to write types on your shopping list? Like this:
- tomatos (vegetable)
- apples (fruit)
Etc.

12·2 years agoThe only benefit now, but what if they start to serve 30 non-skippable ads without premium and ONLY 5 with premium, what a deal! Right? If you hate ads you can just buy higher tier for ONLY $5 more.
Let’s just keep fingers crossed for ublock…



I wonder how many false positives will happen.
