Good, good, but I guess it is only a plan to negotiate for lower prices.
But if they actually deliver without going back… 😍
kolorafa@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Non-native people, what language do you think in?2·3 days agoNot moved anywhere, so born and live in Poland, due to job and entertainment I speak and think both in Polish 🇵🇱 and English 🇪🇺. But more and more I catch myself thinking in English.
In case of f-droid, it’s follow more the Linux distro phylosopy, where the binaries are build and offered to you not by the developer but by distro/repository maintainers people.
You can add your own repository or use your friend repository or use f-droid ones.
In case od f-droid repository, to get app published your app need to adhere to rules one of them is that the code need to be public so the repo maintainers can build the app from it.
Comparing it to play store where the app is build and sign by the developer without making the code public, in turn making it almost impossible to know and follow what the app is doing.
So its a matter of trust.
For some apps I would rather install them from f-droid as I have higher confidence that someone looked at it if the app is not harmful or leaking my private data. For other apps like Banking apps I would rather install them from Aurora store where I dont know what the app is doing but I trust more to protect my money than some random dude on internet. And if bank does something bad I will sue them or just stop using their service.
In home assistant every entity has “assist” config, you can remove any entity from assist which in turn will prevent it from being included in “all” assist/voice target.
So you can have a plug for server without worry but need to remove it from assist.
LBRY/Odysee :)
kolorafa@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube says goodbye to decade-old video player UI, but users hate the new designEnglish9·1 month agoOn top od that it takes more vertical space so more % of the video is covered by controls that are not that transparent so the whole control block is covering it in full comparing to previous where only the actual icons and text did cover the video with the gradient to help make it visible if video is the same color.
But one way or another I avoid yt so it doesnt really affect me.
Based on screenshots - the status in Process tab is useless in most cases IMHO. Better telling would be CPU℅ telling proportion of sleep&running.
But overal nice looking, having tabs like flatpak and such that sounds useful.

Those plastic rectangles doesn’t have any security against range extend attacks so they can steal money from you and you would be plain unaware and defenses. While phone or watch will only enable contactless payment on demand making it way safer. And you can pay with contactless payment everywhere in Poland while you sometimes can’t pay with inserting physical card on some automated devices as there is no where to insert that card, you can only use contactless feature of that card.
Not to mention those plastic rectangles cost yearly or sometimes even monthly, while app is 100% free. And if the app at any point in time do anything that I didn’t agree in the agreement and/or bypass any permissions I didn’t grant them there will be hell to pay for them.
But maybe I’m wrong, I don’t know…
