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

to not buy the new one. but if I have already bought it, before it was enshittified even, I don’t want to buy a new one to be able to reconfigure it unless absolutely necessary

it was a fucking example, man. but there are places where if you left the car in the direct sun on the summer, a few hours later it will have 40-45 °C or so in there.

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

how do we support it? how, when we don’t upload any content, we only give them server load instead of money, and don’t even increase the view count? how? if anything this is a loss for them, but not a gain that’s for sure

maybe a wireguard network is the way to go then, of course without being configured as the default destination for everything. there IPs are always fixed, but at that point you don’t even need a firewall

can’t we just print the reader mode page of Firefox?

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

it really depends whether that counts as a good reason. for us the downsides highly outweigh the upsides.
and yes, I know what it’s like to sit in a hot car when I just got back to it on the hot summer day. but I can really wait 2 minutes outside the car when it’s that bad

if you can find it, and all it’s backups…

I’ve fallen into this trap too a year ago or so. try if the Logitech Onboard Memory Manager is useful for any of your devices, it’s a totally offline program. you can get it from the page below, but if it’s been taken down check the archive.org, I think I have made an archive of the exe too

garbage advice lol

the software has useful features, like reconfiguring buttons on your mouse. however lately all of them got to be enshittified with a login requirement.

the real solution is to not buy their shit, or to keep buying used hardware for which decent software configurator is still available

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
