Took me long enough, let's take a look inside Popotan Limited Edition from 2002!

@chrisprice @NeowinFeed From what I had read and some of the people talking, it'll work like a toggle such as the Linux developer environment on pixel phones. You need dev options enabled to see and toggle the option, but unlike most dev options it retains its setting when dev options is disabled

@NeowinFeed Developer Mode being required means other apps will be able to block using them if you sideload an unsigned app. Pretty much every single journalist missed that key point.

By Usama Jawad - Sideloading isn't going away but Google is changing how it works and adding a surprising new process that could catch many Android users off guard. #Google #Android #Sideloading neowin.net/news/this-new-…

@chrisprice @CryptoCyberia Yeah, all of that would be a problem. In theory the government thing has already happened through play protect, although at the time it was only for known malicious apps. But so long as this doesn't require internet, it would have to be a different OS version, a separate problem

@Doc72_ @CryptoCyberia If it requires Developer Mode, warns other apps that you've sideloaded an unsigned app, and can be turned off by governments... That's a problem.

>24 hour wait to sideload in Android now Didn't Apple get sued in the EU for only having one app store? Will the EU find an issue with this?

@spacebruce They're not worthy of calling it a borgar

Had the worst burger of my life burnt and undercooked and now feeling like craaaaaaap

@MishaalRahman @sgzmd @AkiraJkr1 @worldno1goodboy Ultimately, I'm not fond of security approaches where security measures are used to secure the device against the user. Deliberate choices should be honored even if unwise. I know ADB install exists, but enabling dev options exposes attack surface, which most users would leave on

@MishaalRahman @sgzmd @AkiraJkr1 @worldno1goodboy I think this is an acceptable result so long as no part of the process here requires internet. As both a power user and infosec nerd, I understand why you went this way given average tech lit, but as a power user I *don't care* about the average user unless I work for them

📢 Important update on sideloading on Android It’s of course here to stay. The team’s been listening carefully to feedback from power users who want a way (apart from ADB) to install apps that don’t go through developer verification. Today, we have more details on the advanced flow that gives you this option. Read the post👇 for more info goo.gle/advance-flow

@Airlessv @chrisprice @CryptoCyberia Modern security has evolved to trying to protect the user from their own ignorance rather than trying to legitimately educate them. I understand it's a form of harm reduction, but the best way for people to learn tech literacy is to be forced to fail

@Doc72_ @chrisprice @CryptoCyberia I hate every modern tech fights against the user and treats me like im a villian and a child. It's supposed to be MY device.

@chrisprice @CryptoCyberia I still think no one with any sense who isn't already shipping in the play store is going to sign up for verification, I certainly wouldn't

@chrisprice @CryptoCyberia If this is what the final model will look like, I'm not too bothered if it doesn't require internet like the wait for some bootloader unlocks does. Annoying, but something savvy users will do day one. I personally am more for "trial by fire" as it teaches people better, but eh

@HeadCannon1776 @chrisprice @nafonsopt No, and I rarely do use sandboxed packages, but the most problematic software when it comes to dependency hell is usually the kind where containers are fine. No need to pick only one kind of package format for the system, but I try to use system packages or AUR if they work

@Doc72_ @chrisprice @nafonsopt i wouldn't say it's that special, basically anything that needs passthrough can have conflicts with systemd with external drives, steam is the worst offender sure but it's not alone. basic point is you shouldn't containerize everything.

For anybody saying "Just use Linux", you need to realise that Linux is worse than Windows. Windows has all the bloat, and while you can have Linux without any of that you still don't have tools like Remedybg, RAD Debugger and Super Luminal. Once you have such tools, then Linux is a suitable app development environment. But _it is still trash_ because of the whole Linux model of you needing to compile everything. The fact that you cannot run an app built using a newer version of glibc is an insane decision. I shouldn't have to upgrade my whole machine in order to run something built on a newer version. I shouldn't be worried that an upgrade will break my machine. I shouldn't be forced to compile things from scratch to work on my machine. I shouldn't be forced to install N packages, I just want self contained binaries I can just download and run. I shouldn't be forced to develop with an old distro to have "max glibc compatibility". I shouldn't have to worry about X11 / Wayland / Window Managers. I shouldn't have to worry about asking the user to select a folder, display a dialog or show notifications. Linux is such a huge waste of potential, if they got their shit together they would completely obliterate Windows. I first got into Linux in 2000, and even back then there was this "it will take over Windows any time now!". It's been _26 years_! The same way I'd pay quite a lot for Windows without any bloat, I'd be willing to pay for a distro that gives me all this.

@xCepheid Nice! What was the problem in the end? Oh, do you have anything public over on matrix?

My stubbornness paid off. I got my account back! Still get Matrix though 😂

@HeadCannon1776 @chrisprice @nafonsopt Steam's a special case, and generally doesn't have dependency version conflicts. You can't compile steam from source anyway, and it ships native packages for all distros. Flatpak is fine outside of steamVR. If you're not running a server, just don't use snaps at all.

@Doc72_ @chrisprice @nafonsopt IDK my recent experience with steam on Ubuntu Linux say differently. there is a huge need for native apps on whatever distro because containers cause their own nightmares particularly snapd and flatpak in relation to systemd with external harddrives.

@chrisprice @nafonsopt Yeah, flatpak, appimage, etc make this nonexistant. On distros like arch, you can choose between all of those, system packages, and AUR. If you can't find a package format that suits your needs, you're doing it wrong.

I build Android for a living. I never have had to build or compile Linux for general desktop computing. I'm not kidding. Except the software that I write or contribute to, I literally have not had to compile a Linux app ever to get stuff done. Have I done it once or twice to FAFO? Sure. More than that. But everything is shipped in containers that just work now. Tap download and run on your distro. We solved that. That era ended so long ago.

@culturednii_v2 It's dreadful, but I wouldn't blame this on security as a whole. Anyone claiming any of this is for your security is lying for their own benefits and interests. Cybersecurity isn't a circus, but JFC there are a lot of clowns

another one. Jesus Christ, just how much does Microslop need to exfiltrate data from what you do? I hate it so much. Only when you have TWO firewalls (simplewall and opensnitch) protecting you from this PoS you realize how atrocious this sloporation really is

caught my windows 11 virtual machine all the time trying to talk to this. This is why I hate TPM. This is why I had hardware security bullshit. They're using it basically to control you. Next, they will disable your hardware if you call microsoft 'Microslop'

@JohnnyboySP Huh, I used a PSP too. Hope you're wrong then. Though if you had used it more recently than when I had to recover mine (attached to email which wasn't mine), maybe you'll have an easier time. If they didn't change your email off, it'd be a lot easier

@Doc72_ I don't know if I have my original PSP anymore. :x

Dang they got my playstation account too

@inerati @1Password

@1Password how does a password manager i pay for not have a phone number support line. no i dont want ur ai chatbot.

,@1Password when i try to setup a new phone it just like hangs on the qr code scan (bounding boxes appear but then it never does anything) and the other manual login methods arent working either. normal login with saved icloud login thing says i dont have internet when i do.
