Either (or both) of the two games by this developer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=8857752720402747582

There’s like 100-200+ individual contributors to each of the apps. Practically impossible for everyone to agree to relicense especially considering the community reaction to the sale.

Another option would be to build in on a VPS, especially because a lot of them will give free credits and bill by the hour

Why do you say that? Unless they completely rewrite the app from scratch it is not even possible to have a closed-source version of the app. That’s what the GPLv3 does.

AFAIK the code is all GPLv3 so they won’t be able to close-source it.

I was talking about immediately switching. There is enough time to build the apps from source for yourself before they upload their shittified version.

Don’t worry China, we super promise not to militarise it 🤞

I hate it when they quote a time but no timezone. 10.37PM according to who?

doubly weird suggestion for someone coming from iPhone for the first time

All the code is GPLv3 so it will remain FOSS. There’s no need to immediately switch to other apps. You can optionally fork then build the apps for yourself.

How do judges normally treat destruction of evidence? Do they not care who committed the crime and just make a ruling on how to infer it? I feel like the court would want to know who has committed something as serious as this but I’m not sure of the actual process for it.

How many times have they “banned” vapes now? Are they actually going to do it?

We want to make sure the increasing use of digital payments occurs in a way that helps promote greater competition, innovation and productivity across our entire economy.

If we are to take this stated goal at face value it would seem to be a good thing. Getting ahead of the curve before the tech giants find a way to turn these products against us.

The problem is a lot of Australian’s will not take this at face value especially in the current climate of the movement away from physical cash. It’s hard to give them the benefit of the doubt that they are doing this to protect the Australian people with the lack of any sort of harm or complaint. Feel free to point out if there’s something I’m not thinking about regarding this point.

Personally, this smells extremely fishy to me and the most likely explanation in my mind is that they want to kneecap the tech giants and allow our financial sector to push in this space. I can’t imagine CBA, ANZ, etc particularly enjoying their control over this space being eroded. They have every opportunity to innovate in the space but they’re clearly lacking the drive to do so. Instead of improving competition by forcing the big banks to step up, they’re knee capping actual innovation.

Pronounced as “shitter”

So much of our economy is export driven. Particularly to China and particularly coal. Sad.

If the photos go to a private directory but you are now rooted you should be able to directly access that directory and copy the files out. This is assuming that they are stored as regular files in that directory instead of being solely in the sqlite db. Does that work?

Agreed and I made a similar point in a few of my other comments. If you look at the original context it was more of a “well you have to abide by the rules and the dogs should be quarantined but if you’re not willing to do that then we would have no other option”.

The very next sentence says:

The analogy breaks down in the “admit fault” side of things because the cop can ticket you anyway

And the same in the US except with ever larger fines than AU https://www.cbp.gov/travel/international-visitors/agricultural-items

They do “random searches” just like any other country but I find it more likely in this situation that they saw something on the scanner which prompted them to search the bag. Even if you compare the process to the USA it’s pretty much identical. You still have to declare everything except the USA has even steeper fines than Australia.
