What kind of stuff have you been buying that you couldn’t find elsewhere (at a competitive price)?
I buy a moderate amount of my stuff online and was able to almost entirely avoid Amazon this year. The only exception was a phone display where Amazon had a LCD-variant for ~30€ while all others only had an OLED for ~90€.
Why do you think ubuntu and debian derivatives are unsecure?
Totally fair. I am just pointing it out here because it felt a bit icky when I saw it on the github page.
If it was closed source I would agree but you can check for yourself if the code is good. Even if they are crazy.
No I can not. I am not an android-dev, I am not the best dev out there and I don’t have time to thouroughly go through a big codebase. It would defenetly be possible to hide mallicious code from me, even if I have access to the source-code. For really big projects it is safe to assume other, more knowlegable people have allready audited the code, but for small ones I have to be able to trust the devs.
Tbf telegram also seems fairly popular in less problematic areas for sime reason (it’s quite populare in ukraine as well for example)
Their russian telegram channel has some opinions.
Besides a chemtrail conspiracy - reference there is a whoule channel for the ru-ukr war. I am unsure if it is in support of the war or not and translating it does not really clarify it (sentiment gets lost easily I guess).
Considering that, some clarification would be nice. Because I don’t think I would trust a software made by russian “patriots” (quote from the channel) in the current geopolitical landscape.
Maybe a stupid question, but how do paid streaming services avoid that issue?
Eh, I have to say I find it quite usefull sometimes for brainstorming solutions. It is esentially a rubber duck that answers and sometimes gives good ideas.
Of course the answers are often bullshit, but they can sometimes point you in the right direction/to the right words to google.
(All of this ignoring the enviromental problems ofc.)
