j4hdufd8··on Ask HN: Do custom ROMs exist for electric cars, for example Teslas?
Maybe you want https://comma.ai/, founded by geohot who famously made the iOS and PlayStation jailbreaks
j4hdufd8··on Updates to Consumer Terms and Privacy Policy
I don't think https is responsible for that. Google owns the data, it doesn't matter how it is transported. It does, however, matter how it is stored (which I hope is encrypted in a way only you can retrieve it)

Are you okay getting ads for shit holistic medication because you had a mental health conversation with AI?
j4hdufd8··on Updates to Consumer Terms and Privacy Policy
> But there are people out there (myself) that are on the opposite end of the spectrum, and we are mostly ignored by the companies. Companies just assume people only ever want to deny them their data.

What? I think you're exactly the kind of person that companies pay attention to, and why they pull moves like this

j4hdufd8··on Petition to stop Google from restricting sideloading and FOSS apps
Can you elaborate how the other fallacies were mis-applied, please?
j4hdufd8··on Petition to stop Google from restricting sideloading and FOSS apps
I am very happy if it made a few people think and/or get upset!

My comment was totally AI generated, obviously. But as you lovingly touched on, it is irrelevant :)

j4hdufd8··on Petition to stop Google from restricting sideloading and FOSS apps
Whether or not the arguments are AI generated is itself a logical fallacy.

Insinuating I cannot think is also a logical fallacy.

Man you guys are really bad at this.

j4hdufd8··on Petition to stop Google from restricting sideloading and FOSS apps
I did not mention the petition. I am merely offering feedback on the grandparent's argument about Google's policy (which itself also does not mention the petition).

It is absolutely a debate. Why are you here if not to debate?

j4hdufd8··on Google will allow only apps from verified developers to be installed on Android
Yes Google mandates a locked bootloader in order to meet Google Play Integrity's remote attestation. More generally it mandates a perfectly clean and valid secure boot chain. Among a variety of other requirements.

These manufacturers gladly took in AOSP back in 2011 when it was still truly a great open source project - exactly as the name should require it to be - and also when security requirements were much much lower. Of course to keep up with device security it turns out you need complete control over the whole stack and regular updates anyway, so now these manufacturers are in a pickle of a situation.
j4hdufd8··on Google will allow only apps from verified developers to be installed on Android
It is not so simple!

Play Integrity's highest level of attestation features requires devices to be running a security update which is within a sliding window of 1 year.

LOTS of Android devices have not released a security update in many many years. This forces users to unnecessarily upgrade to higher end OEMs.

Google is effectively pushing out Xiaomi, Huawei, and many others that offer excellent budget options. Google is not just offering you the comfort of not having to fill out CAPTCHAs on your phone, most importantly they are playing monopoly.
