you’re right, thanks for letting me know

This means that F-Droid can verify that an app is 100% free software while still using the original developer’s APK signatures.

then I don’t understand it either why it can’t be updated directly

yeah but I don’t want to use up 20 GB just for a single project. It’s not like my hard drive is 80% free. more like 10% free, even though it’s large, because I’m using it and I’m already selective on what I’m doing on it

I think it boils down to, java has a lot of ceremony, which is designed to improve stability. I think this makes code bases more complex, and gives it the reputation it has.

I’m not a java programmer, but I like it more because python and js projects are often very messy

I doubt that amount of stars can be achieved naturally in this short time, especially from a developer previously unknown.
the program is certainly not used by likehappy common people, this would seem complicated and scare them away

I think the fdroid app will let you know if you need to do so when you try to update the app manually

android uses digital signatures as kind of a security measure. a digital signature is basically supposed to confirm that the apk was actually built by the developer, and most of the files in it were not tampered with.
besides being able to make permissions depend on it, you cannot install an app update that was signed with a different key to what you have already installed, because that basically means you are replacing it with a version that was built by someone else.

all apps are digitally signed. when an app becomes reproducibly built, from that point the app will be built by f-droid with their own digital signature.

also note that since google play has forced all developers to hand over their signing keys, when making app bundle based publishing mandatory, the security of this signature has been… less useful

and in modern days we don’t rly have hard disk limitation

well if you are a corporation, that’s true. Otherwise, not much

i still don’t understand. is it easier in python or JS to make getters and setters? with python my experience has been the opposite, with the decorator based solution in mind.
or if the problem is that they exist, as an option to be used, why is that a problem? they can be implemented in any other language, and it can be useful.

then yeah, you should check for nulls. just like for None’s in python, or if you have the correct type at all, because if it’s entirely different but ends up having a function or variable with the same name then who knows what happens.
then in javascript besides null, you also have undefined and NaN!

on which instance?

you mean it gives huge discounts to random people because of an error? i would think amazon would want to fix that ASAP

it gained 14k+ stars on github in a year (development started in 2023 july).

isn’t it a bit suspicious?

maybe it’s nothing, but this just caught my eye

Silliest comment of the week

People do nothing but incessantly complain about thing- yet still use thing.

Go ahead and show the alternative, the alternative that has the content we need.

Before you respond that youtube is an entertainment service, I want to remind you that it isn’t, but that it’s only a part of it. You won’t handwave it away as if we were discussing netflix being enshittified.

I’m not using youtube for listening to music videos and such things, never were. When I end up there it’s because of a search result showing a relevrelevant video there, like disassembly of this or that, and such.

News flash folks; You’re never going to win this. YouTube will always be ahead of you on this.

That’s objectively false. uBlock Origin devs and filterlist makers are doing a very good job.

Don’t like it, walk away.

That’s very similar to saying “don’t like your government? don’t like it, walk away, found your own”.
Yeah, that’s not his it works.

I bet you would be the first to call those who abandoned youtube as cavemen for not being able to access some video you shared

and user activity analyzer and recommendation systems, when looking at copilot

i think their matrix server is hosted by element

firefox can do the same with any other search engine, it has a search widget

in my country that’s exactly what is happening, they are taking the simpler jobs for much cheaper, and lot of our “native” people has/had jobs like this.

ironically, this country is among the loudest in anti-immigration in the EU, all the while they are immigrating people from neighboring countries exactly for cheap labor.

why?

I only do this with the fridge in the summer to not let the chocolate melt. but why the freezer?

if I were you, I would do IP whitelisting at the firewall instead of or besides the Minecraft server

yes, they are. reread the post, I just did so and I’m still confident
