Too busy accepting bank checks from lobbies and passing mass surveillance laws.
Open post Gaël Rostang @gael_rostang@mastodon.social · 1mo ago Replying to @Tutanota@mastodon.social Google says YOU must wait 24 hours if you download an app onto your OWN DEVICE if it's from an "Unverified developer". What ever happened to user choice and Android freedom?! 😡 Google has started rolling out its new ""Advanced Flow", which requires you to wait a 24-hour waiting period if you want to install apps from unverified developers.

Open post Gaël Rostang @gael_rostang@mastodon.social · 1mo ago Replying to @chadmccullough@mastodon.bsd.cafe @bitbraindev@mastodon.gamedev.place I canceled my Google One account a month or so back. Just the other day, they sent an email asking me to come back. Presumably because they need all of my data so they can continue to train their AI. I'm currently testing out the closed beta of @Tutanota@mastodon.social Drive, which should be going live in a few months. Absolutely love it. @chadmccullough@mastodon.bsd.cafe @bitbraindev@mastodon.gamedev.place @Tutanota@mastodon.social Tuta Drive? Nice! How will Tuta finance it?
Open post Gaël Rostang @gael_rostang@mastodon.social · 1mo ago Replying to @Tutanota@mastodon.social Autistici/Inventati got sanctioned by the U.S. for providing secure services to left-wing activists and allegedly terrorists. This must be another wake-up call for digital sovereignty. After all, #privacy is a human right, and we must not take that away from everyone. Our comment: https://tuta.com/blog/autistici-inventati-us-sanctions @Tutanota@mastodon.social In that case, why aren't Google and Snapchat banned globally? Terrorists and human traffickers use them, no?
Open post Gaël Rostang @gael_rostang@mastodon.social · 2mo ago Replying to @nixCraft@mastodon.social If LLMs are good at coding, why don't we see any killer games or apps written in them largely? Where are all those vibe coded apps and their solo developers making millions? 😂 @nixCraft@mastodon.social Proprietary industrial and military software. Couldn't use them publicly because of copyright infringements.

Open post Gaël Rostang @gael_rostang@mastodon.social · 1mo ago Replying to @hellomiakoda@pdx.social @Tutanota@mastodon.social What Gooogle says don't mean jack shit to me. I walked away from Android and carry Linux devices. There's a lot of things I've gotten fed up with and more and more of my devices are just specifically configured Linux computers of various form factors, cause I've fucking had enough of their bullshit! *I AM* su and there's not a fucking thing Google, Microsoft, or fucking Apple can do about it! @hellomiakoda@pdx.social How do you manage banking apps, if at all?
