It's because of the Play Integrity API, which AFAIK runs downloaded binaries in the DroidGuard environment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play_Integrity_API The strongest levels re…

Specifically about "humans": my understanding is that Clean-room design is not a requirement and the "Case law" section on your Wikipedia link explains that and has examples. How a…

Ah you're right! You were actually very clear by saying Android 9 or below, but I misinterpreted while multitasking here, sorry for that. > If you're arguing that it is Google who …

There seem to be updated stats here: https://composables.com/android-distribution-chart Which seems to indicate about 4.8% are below Android 9. But also, Firefox for Android still …

Note that the snack price was increased "from 12 yen ($0.08) to 15 yen ($0.10)". That's a 25% increase.

Sorry, I am a bit confused about the caching delay, which seems to suggest you can switch kernels without rebooting? That's not what the wiki suggests[0], and what even happens to …

That is true, it is harder, although AFAIK people do sell all kinds of illegal things there.

If they have access to the "dark web" they can already do anything that requires age verification there. In the same way you expect that the rule to "not sell UUIDs" wouldn't be re…

Have you checked the install date? I'm not sure which are the compromised version numbers, but if they were installed before June 10 you're probably safe. (I think libgdata 0.18.1-…

This is how I'd do it: jj new branch1 branch2 branch3 This creates an empty commit that merges all 3 branches, you can think of this as your staging area. When you want to move spe…

Even if the false-positive rate is very small (e.g. 0.01%), you probably won't be affected, but more than a hundred thousand of websites would be and that would still be an issue. …

Are you saying that the author engaging in online activism and presenting very common criticisms of SUVs in a sarcastic way somehow implies they're bad neighbors?

I'd argue it's more like "looking at your keys while you're picking them". Selecting text is also known as highlighting and some people highlight text while reading / thinking.

You don't need primary selection to avoid the keyboard, you can also hold right-click on your selection and release it on "copy" (or right-click on your selection then left-click o…

I mostly agree, but a generalized attack at the remaining GitHub workers by calling them "losers" and then "rookies" is unwarranted and leaves a bad taste IMO. See the edit history…

It's probable that licenses that explicitly allows revocation at will would not be approved by OSI or the FSF. Copyright law is also a complex matter which differs by country and I…
