Damit sich #wero , die europäische Alternative für #paypal oder #klarna (geht an die US-Börse), etablieren kann, müssen so viele wie möglich diesen Dienst bei ihrer Bank in Anspruch nehmen / beantragen / anfordern und nutzen!
Ich verstehe nicht, warum die Banken Europas keine entsprechende Werbekampagne fahren... 🙄

@DoNotPunchDown I'm happy to help. By the way, there are custom ROMs for the Pixel 3. It seems you can get up to Android 14 with enhanced privacy.

@DoNotPunchDown @frankie @DziadekMick I think that dialog is misleading. The last Android version for the Pixel 3 was Android 12. Runtime permissions were introduced in Android 6. That means every app which wants to use the camera or microphone needs to *individually* ask for it. I think you can safely allow the camera permission for the Camera app for taking photos.

#Linux #Windows10 #EndOf10

Hundreds of thousands of Computers won't be able to upgrade to Windows 11, but that shouldn't make them eWaste.

Kudos to the @kde team for this amazing initiative!

@msfjarvis Absolutely! 😅

Although I've been coding #JetpackCompose for several years now, sometimes I still make basic errors 😅

I had the following code

```
var someValue = rememberSaveable { 100 }
```

and was wondering why the value was not restored on orientation change. It always had the initial value of 100. Well of course Compose doesn't magically keep track of all variables. It must be a `MutableState` so that Compose tracks value changes and is able to restore the state via rememberSaveable. Duh!

#AndroidDev

There's a new episode of The Android Show scheduled now in the run-up to Google I/O https://www.android.com/new-features-on-android/io-2025/

Welp, #PewDiePie has opened the floodgates to the #Linux community now that he's actually done a full video explaining his move to Linux, why he did it, and why he thinks others should ditch #Windows.

I honestly expected a nothing burger video with not much meaning/input to it, esp to someone who's already on Linux, but his points were pretty interesting. Some of his takeaways:

- He was tired of #Microsoft's bullshit concerning ads, #AI slop, and bloat - and noted how he really supports the idea of #FOSS, and gave the example of how cool it is that #Valve saw the issue on putting all of their/our eggs (shares) in Windows' basket and addressed that by building on top of an existing FOSS project, #Wine to then develop #Proton, which as a result has unlocked and enabled the expansive #gaming scene that we have today not just for the #SteamDeck but all Linux users as a whole.

- He surprisingly loves the customisation aspect of Linux and how everything is modular - which meant we could change things like the GUI (desktop environment) and customise it as desired. He even (appropriately) used the term, ricing lol.

- He, even more surprisingly, loves the fact that there are many Linux distros to choose from - when some find this to be somewhat a hurdle. He highlighted how you should just pick one and move forward, which is often true - this choice doesn't really matter as much these days (if ever). His choice was #LinuxMint, the distro he's tried 15 years ago.

- He noted how, like anything, Linux isn't perfect and there may be sacrifice(s) needed - like how some apps may only be available on Windows, for #macOS, and likewise for Linux. His sacrifice was #Adobe #Photoshop, but he was happy to ditch the thing (which costed him 60 USD just to unsubscribe), and his chosen alternative was... #GIMP - I know some might not agree, but he liked it 😂

- He mentioned how searching (locally) on Windows is garbage, and everyone knows that's just... objectively true. Like him, I too was amazed how local search actually JUST WORKS and is super fast on Linux, unlike on Windows or macOS.

- He noted how goddamn easy and intuitive installing/updating/managing apps are on Linux by using the system's package manager (app store), rather than having to look up the app installer online and dodging all of the shady sites with malwares and so on.

- As if this wasn't enough, Pewds really went down a fucking rabbit hole, almost putting to 'shame' for most, all average Linux users (incl myself) by literally installing/using #ArchLinux on his laptop, which is normal, 'cept he's not using a regular DE like #KDE or #Gnome but he instead, opted for a tiling manager, #Hyprland with #Rofi, #Waybar and all lol.

Anyway, it's a pretty cool video - and I underestimated Pewds' love for tinkering and using the terminal, so much so that I hope his users don't think that they actually need to use the terminal for the things he did haha.

Since #Windows 10 is going out of support soon, I'm going to install #Linux on my mother-in-law's computer soon. She needs it for Internet and office stuff. Linux as well as the dated hardware, which is my old PC that I gave to her, is absolutely capable of doing these things!

I need to be very clear, that the push towards "vibe coding" - that is, deliberately deskilling people - is because AI code assistants are an (increasingly expensive) subscription service.

If you know how to code, you can just write Python, C, Java, R, PHP, whatever for free and make things. You may not own the tools of production, but at least you're not renting them.

If you have been deskilled so you only know how to vibe code, you will be paying for that privilege forever.

This also goes, by the way, for researchers who are starting to be convinced they don't need to learn how to be scientists anymore, because "the AI" can just do the science for them. Nope.

I know people like to make fun of niche operating systems, but for the five years I was at Microsoft I used Windows (10 then 11) as my daily driver. It’s much less stable than a professional OS, but it does kind-of work. I wouldn’t say it’s ready for the desktop. The UI is inconsistent and changes randomly between releases, a load of common software is basically useable only in a VM, it lags and freezes periodically (unlike an OS designed for interactive use, random drivers run a load of things directly in interrupt handlers, so you get latency spikes that you wouldn’t see in a more mainstream desktop OS) and the update process can hose the system, so it’s mostly of interest to people who like tinkering with their machines than people who actually want to get work done. Oh and a load of random bits of the OS have ads, but that’s what you get from a free ad-supported system instead of one developed by an active open-source community.

I don’t think I’d recommend anyone use it as their daily driver or in a work setting, but it’s not totally unusable. It’s not at the level of maturity than you’d expect from, say, Linux or FreeBSD, especially not for client workloads. If you do have to use it, I recommend that you install FreeBSD in a Hyper-V VM for real work. That’s what I did and it works quite well.

@ianlake Unfortunately DataStore 1.1.5 is broken and needs a follow-up release.
