71bwon Linux gamers on Steam cross over the 3% mark

>AllocConsole and ReadConsole are gone

...sorry, what? I use these intensively and they are still available to use.

>Eh? Samsung still maintains a whole suite of independent alternative apps, providing things ranging from NFC payments to calendaring and contact management, that they stuff onto their phones in addition to the usual Google fare.

Which is EVEN WORSE in maintaining device attestation than Android. Read about the Knox warranty bits.

71bwon Free software hasn't won

You do not expect any 'normal' person to ever use this SXMo shell, right? Hell, most nerds I know wouldn't want to touch this with a 10ft pole.

Revolut works fine as long as you're happy to follow the cat-and-mouse game. Use the Hide My Apps LSPosed module along with TrickyStore and a valid keybox and you're gucci. Problem is, this setup needs almost constant maintenance.

71bwon Leaked Apple M5 9 core Geekbench scores

Because I'd prefer to run bare metal and, if I recall correctly, macOS still hogs up 50+ GB on a clean install - and there is no GPU acceleration(? - might be wrong here).

71bwon Leaked Apple M5 9 core Geekbench scores

There is no decent option on an alternative operating system. I do not like macOS and its many quirks, especially its extremely gatekept nature, including the system being SURE that what IT wants is the best for me; I understand that this might be an approach that some people prefer, but in my case it's the equivalent of showing a bull a red cloth.

I will say this - and most will not like this - that I'd go out and buy a M* MacBook if they still kept Boot Camp around and let me install Windows 11 ARM on it. I've heard Linux is pretty OK nowadays, but I have some... ideological differences with the staff behind Asahi and it is still a wonky hack that Apple can put their foot down on any day.

And yet, it allows the user to experience true freedom unlike Apple's offerings.

71bwon An informational website about why I went to prison

Depends on what he did with them. Likely nothing, considering he's speaking about it so freely on a public website.

Wonder what the implications of just taking the CC numbers 20 years ago would have been?

71bwon What is “good taste” in software engineering?

This is why I never went into CS educationally. I was never treated in a respectful way by the Polish system. Always treated like ass

71bwon UK Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards

No conspiracy is needed to observe the current world, the state of political affairs and to notice where all of it is headed.

71bwon UK Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards

>probably with safetynet checks to ensure it can't be running a custom rom

And they can, forgive me for my rather vulgar language, fuck right off with this thinking. Problem is it will still go into place, because for most people giving up the right of being able to govern their own device that they paid for is not a problem for whatever reason. Neither will it be until it touches something that is important to them - that's when, hopefully, some more people will be able to see that we are rapidly spiralling downwards toward a complete techno-authoritarian dystopia.

OR, if you want to partake in shady shenanigans, there's always the official LSPosed internal testing. Forgive me for this Telegram link but it's the best option to share this: https://t.me/RootDetected/138/510

71bwon Just let me select text

Exactly the reason I still use LSPosed with the disable_flag_secure module on my device.

71bwon Demand for human radiologists is at an all-time high

You're specifically trained to look at the scans, and not to do 75 other things as well, only to use scans to aid your whatever you're doing.

71bwon Cloudflare Email Service: private beta

And yet then instantly threw a hissy fit when a certain trans individual started their crusade against the Kiwi Farms.

71bwon Yt-dlp: Upcoming new requirements for YouTube downloads

>Microsoft does something similar with Windows Defender: you need to buy a developer certificate that can be revoked at any time if you want to distribute your app and have users be able to run it.

Clarifying: you CAN run an unsigned app just fine on Windows. A lot of freeware/"indie" (for lack of a better term for small software) programs run just fine, the only thing that happens is the user recieves a warning they have to press "Yes" on (which 95% of people do, because That's The Windows UX[patent pending]).

71bwon Cloudflare is sponsoring Ladybird and Omarchy

Effortlessly, at least with uBO installed.

71bwon Privacy and Security Risks in the eSIM Ecosystem [pdf]

RCS is a whole another kettle of fish indeed and the fact it only works with Play Integrity being on Device/Strong and the bootloader being locked is absolutely asinine to me.

71bwon Privacy and Security Risks in the eSIM Ecosystem [pdf]

>a phone with two physical sims - very rare

...? - they are literally the norm in Android land nowadays, it's only Apple that INSISTS upon a single SIM or, in third-world variants, two eSIMs.

71bwon FFmpeg moves to Forgejo

You're free to fork Anubis and change it so that it displays whatever else your heart pleases.

71bwon Vanishing from Hyundai’s data network

I am because I am not obtuse and can understand that my style of driving allows for risks. Only use the left lane for overtaking trucks.

71bwon Wikipedia loses challenge against Online Safety Act

What does IIoC stand for?

71bwon Ozempic shows anti-aging effects in trial

  > Is someone trying to force you to take Ozempic?

A shocking amount of doctors in Poland nowadays.

71bwon The Bluesky Dictionary

Indeed, all I get in Firefox are CORS issues

71bwon Perplexity is using stealth, undeclared crawlers to evade no-crawl directives

I was right to ask, this seems extremely cool. Hit me up via mail [in bio] if you ever end up polishing it enough to share.

71bwon Perplexity is using stealth, undeclared crawlers to evade no-crawl directives

  > I made a stateful Internet implementation in Python earlier for proof-of-concept

Is there a repo or some other form of public access? I'd like to see this.

71bwon If you're remote, ramble

I might not exactly be the benchmark for this but for the entirety of preschool and then the first 4 years of primary school I went in for a week and took 2 weeks of what I would now call sick leave. Left me with a heart disease and a real scare for what I should do if I ever have kids to avoid this happening to them.

71bwon I was wrong about robots.txt

I tried it and didn't like it. Currently migrating to Firefox though, their vertical tab implementation is really decent.
