@brucelawson when I read this headline the other day, I had to check and make sure I didn't know the guilty party, because I have a friend that does exactly this to "print money" from streaming platforms.

I absolutely HATE tech news these days.

Most sites/blogs seem to be little more than wretched little shills for the tech giants. The breathless LLM coverage and barely critical product reviews and constant spinning of anti-consumer/developer bullshit like they're blessings.

@geniodiabolico holy shit, never install corporate spyware from your employer on a personal device. If your employer won't provide a device then use a cheap second device.

When my daughter was born, just about every product I came in contact with at the hospital had a Stryker logo on it, not hyperbole. I believe they might be the largest medical supplier in the US(edit: they're number 6, I looked it up). If this is a worst case scenario and it takes 6 months to fulfill orders, it may have much broader consequences on the general public than just being an epic data wipe.

@TheWrew the other day I was contemplating the possibility of a reticulum/meshcore/meshtastic repeater firmware that would forward whatever packets it received agnostic of protocol.

Glaxnimate 0.6.0 is out and can now be deployed for Linux, the MS Store and macOS thanks to being fully integrated into KDE's build system.

It has been translated to 28 languages, boasts a smoother animation workflow, and comes with better support for importing and exporting to SVG, among many more marvelous things.

@UrbanCityCowboy pessimism is from experience. Dismissive would be me not even engaging. I am trying to point out the absurdity of "bye GrapheneOS" because somehow Motorola is "bad" when Google is objectively just as bad.

If you genuinely care about your security, then unfortunately GOS is the ONLY option. Motorola's announcement means users have a choice other than Pixels. Google keeps making user hostile moves, maybe only a matter of time until they hard lock the bootloader.

@UrbanCityCowboy sure, and if I recall Apple, Google, Samsung, Sony, Acer, Asus, Microsoft, Nintendo, Tesla, HP, and Foxconn are all called out in the same reports. I'm sure its even worse for small manufacturers that have less control over their supply chain. ALL of these companies are guilty of exploitation, if not workers it's customers or the environment. The only truly ethical thing you can do is disconnect from the internet and donate/recycle your tech.
