In my opinion, the biggest problem that comes with this, is the fact that google play independent apps will become A LOT less popular. To a point where alternative roms are even less interesting to people which in return makes developing apps for them even less interesting.


Some people even sideload on iOS, which doesn't allow sideloading. They do this by getting an apple developer account, installing Xcode, compiling the apps themselves and refreshing them on their phones every week. And this seems about as popular as Android sideloading where you just download an app and install it...


It kinda IS a working solution tho. recall-for-linux.exe is just a bash script that does this in a loop. :)

grim - | tee ~/.recall/$(date "+%Y-%m-%dT%H-%M-%S").png | tesseract stdin stdout 2>/dev/null >~/.recall/$(date "+%Y-%m-%dT%H-%M-%S").log


NewPipe does not have Sponsorblock built in tho. I am sure you are aware but other people might not. Tubular https://github.com/polymorphicshade/Tubular is a newpipe fork which integrates Sponsorblock and youtube dislike.


PipePipe (https://github.com/InfinityLoop1308/PipePipe) is better than Tubular, it has much more frequent updates and more features.


Interestingly you are both right even tho you say the exact opposite. :)


They are planning to use swift in the future. Last point: https://ladybird.org/#faq


I think that was being blocked by Swift features/libraries not being consistent across platforms, in that Swift for Linux/etc is missing stuff you'd get in macOS.

I don't see that changing any time soon. If Apple truly wanted Swift adoption to be cross platform, they have the resources to do it, but they didn't do it.


No, pretty sure that's all basically fixed in Swift 6 (Sep 2024), I think it's more just the immaturity of the C++ interop in being able to bridge Swift to complex C++ code.

That's a key feature of what Apple want Swift for (to gradually replace their C++ projects with Swift) but it's still pretty new. It'll take a while to mature.


That feels like the wrong language to bet the farm on.

Swift is horrible to develop in cross-platform. The language ergonomics are great, but the support just isn't there.

Also - swift is great for lots of applications, but a browser? Why use a garbage collected language for something that needs to be smooth? Unpredictable GC pause jitter is not something you want when smooth scrolling and rendering. Granted Javascript already negates that experience a little bit, but why introduce even more unpredictability?

I get the feeling the leadership loves Mac/Apple, which makes sense in light of their recent iOS announcement. Maybe they're prioritizing that world.


Just as a reminder. If you save the 2FA token in the same password database as the actual password of the website you effectively neutralized 2FA or at the very least weakened it.


If you store your password in a password manager, is it accurate to still frame it as 'something you know'? Or is it just another 'something you have'?


Or the website owner doesn't want to take the risk and ads a banner even if the site strictly doesn't need one.


So when I see a tracking cookie dialog on a web site, either 1. the site collects more data than they need to in order to run the site or 2. they don't and the site's management is incompetent. Both are pretty good reasons to avoid that particular web site.


There's no risk, they know what they are doing because the law doesn't just mandate the banner, it mandates you to know which third party service you're sharing the data to.

Check the banner next time, you'll see how many “partners” they do sell your data to.


that seems like an issue with the website owner to me


A lot of websites for smaller businesses will not be run by technical people, they'll be run by business people or otherwise who don't understand cookies beyond "I see cookie banners on every website I visit, therefore to avoid legal trouble I need one too", you can't expect someone like that to understand the difference between tracking cookies and technical cookies.


We're a small business, <10FTE, and have no cookie notice at all. We don't track people.


Ah yes of course. How could I forget about poor Mom & Pop Co. and their 186 business partners that they want to share my personal data with. Surely we can't expect such a small operation to know what they are doing.


That's not the point I'm making, I'm saying whoever in Mom & Pop Co. set up the website may well not understand the difference between the cookie types and even if they are using no tracking cookies and sharing no data, they may well put a cookie notice on their website anyway as they're so common they think they're normal, the law allows for huge fines, and they're doing it out of an abundance of caution.


What's the point of having free access to the internet if there is no free internet? Seeing in what direction the world goes, access to a space where content can be distributed freely becomes more important than it ever was.


Some readers can download the full article. I tried Miniflux a while back I think that one supports it.


It definitely does, I use it all the time.


Kinoite is not from the same project tho, it's the fedora KDE spin.
