Yeah that’s not going to happen.

Yes, they recently shot a video together.

That's stupid. Nothing stops you from just installing regular Ubuntu if you love snaps so much.

Especially with Red Hat's current shenanigans that just recently happened. I can't see how anyone thought this was a good idea OR good timing for it.

It literally is. Read the constitutional amendment outlawing slavery in the US. Slavery is outlawed in all cases EXCEPT as punishment for crimes committed. Penal Slavery is literally explicitly legal under the US constitution.

Shit like this is why I use a DeGoogled phone. Get a Pixel and install GrapheneOS or CalyxOS and use open source apps wherever you can, and sandbox any Google Play apps you have to use (banking, etc).

So serious question, how is the US Navy chasing down and seizing these ships different from piracy?

Slavery isn’t illegal in the US under the US constitution specifically if you’re convicted of a crime. The anti slavery amendment specifically allows that loophole. Not sure why people think slavery was abolished there, when all that actually happened were a change in the situations allowing it.

The 13th amendment to the US constitution says this: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

YouTube wants to double dip by collecting and selling your data, and forcing you to either get served ads or pay them $15/month. They want to have their cake and eat it too.

This isn't awful advice, but used Pixel prices are vastly out of whack with used prices from just about any other android manufacturer. On Amazon I can currently buy a refurbished Galaxy S25+ for $300 less than a refurbished Pixel 9 Pro XL - when the Pixel is a worse phone by every metric but its ability to run GOS.

Also, in some markets (US I believe? I think its a company called Verizon that does this) Some pixels just cannot be OEM unlocked, at all. So that's also a risk buying used online at least - there's usually not a way to tell if you'd be getting one of those if you live in a market that has this fucked up "feature".

That’s hardly why. More like many Canadians don’t want to go and visit/financially support an actively hostile country with a leader that repeatedly talks about annexing them.

People here going to US to snowbird are kind of considered some low end tier of traitor by many, in fact.

If you care about actual functionality (accurate HR, fitness tracking, GPS tracking for runs) but still don't want to be spied on, using GadgetBridge with a commercially available watch (Huawei/Garmin/Amazfit) is probably your best option. GadgetBridge being the controller/gatekeeper app to the watch means all your data stays on your device and isn't going to the watch manufacturer, but you still get the benefit of the actual functionality working well (which, unfortunately with Pebble or PineTime isn't the case right now - pebble being very old iirc and pine time just... Not being good.)

Wait why the hell is lemmy.world federated with Meta anyways? That seems... stupid?

Even so, breaking Jerboa app access to every lemmy instance that isn't lemmy.ml is a bit of a big oops. Especially during a period of tons of new users who may not understand what the problem is. Hopefully steps can be taken in the future so that it doesn't happen again.

Who cares? The source is there. Do it anyways. DeCSS was technically illegal for ages in the US. VLC (not hosted in the US) still contained it to play DVDs.

"Not allowed" and "Can't" are two VERY different things.

This is confusing. So killing a woman is now criminally worse than killing a man? That seems absurd.

NexusMods is working on their new post-vortex mod client, which does have Linux support. It can be found here on github.

This applies to Apple as well.

But not Asahi Linux, oddly (Given that codeweavers main product is Crossover for MacOS) This was developed on a System76 Ampere Arm PC with Nvidia GPU

This must be some weird American thing. I've gotten pixels on contract before in my country and I can OEM unlock and flash them no issue. If you don't pay the cell carrier will just blacklist the IMEI. They don't lock down the device itself.
