What meaningful way of fighting this is there?

Jesus fucking Christ I hate this shithole of a country

Still need hardware to run it on ☹️

Why has RAM suddenly got so expensive? We’ve been chasing this AI shit for the last 3/4 years and GPUs etc have been expensive the whole time, but somehow RAM has been ok until literally the last couple of weeks?

To affect the project as a whole? Probably not much short term. But they can make things difficult for French users by either banning the OS, or trying to ban bootloader unlocking in general. And sure it will be largely ineffective and difficult to enforce to start with, but it won’t stop them trying like with all the age verification bullshit thats popped up everywhere recently. Longer term they can do what Denmark are doing with chat control and keep trying to make it EU law every couple of months until eventually it passes.

And they will get away with it because the average citizen doesn’t care or even know. Most people don’t even know that installing alternate OSes is possible, and of the ones that do many don’t bother with it themselves. And as for an OS based around cyber security and privacy? For most people cyber security is just the thing that means their password has to be Password1! instead of password, and privacy is just something schizophrenics and criminals want.

I get what you’re trying to say but this isn’t happening in isolation, and ideas (good or bad) spread. “Just leave the country” works great until it’s your country, or until there’s nowhere else left to go.

Its a problem for everyone because you can be sure if it catches on in France it will spread

[Davaluri] Hey Gergely, I am responding here, and I think this applies to a bunch of the comments that people have made. I mean, a lot of comments . The team (and I) take in a ton of feedback

This reads like a Trump quote

Developers accidentally create new issues while trying to fix old ones. Politicians purposely create new issues while avoiding fixing the old ones

Well they’ll have more money than everyone else, but they won’t be able to continue making record profits every year for eternity which of course means their business is a complete and utter failure and they have to lay off half their staff

I’ve never really felt the need to block anyone (except the odd spam bot but I don’t think that counts). I think that might be because I pretty much exclusively browse my subscribed feed which means I basically only see posts that interest me, and I find any bad comments are usually heavily downvoted anyway. And its rare enough that I just ignore it.

I thought Doctor Who was still owned by the BBC?

Isn’t that literally just because they bundled it with Office 365 so for most businesses its effectively free?

They made sure it doesn’t though otherwise people might not want to upgrade their phone

Are betas larger that normal updates, or does this mean you can’t update at all now?

I don’t know if this is one of the changes they introduced in 1.142 but the Android app has been so much smoother since that update!

How much of this is people not wanting to upgrade vs not being able to upgrade because their PC isn’t supported?

The iPhone X and XS are the ones I think looked the best

I know the camera bumps have been getting bigger over time, but this is just too much. These are definitely the ugliest iPhones ever released.

FaceID has had the ability to register while wearing a mask for a while now (although it came a bit too late as by the time it came out most places had got rid of mandatory mask requirements)
