I’ve been with them since the first alphas, and no, the mobile and desktop apps, and the server implementation were never open source, only the mautrix and beeper bridges. Nothing has changed with the new apps, and the local bridges (that run in your phone with the app) will also be open sourced on release.

The beeper apps were never open source to begin with, but all the bridges are and will continue being.

They were required by law to give out whatever I formation they had, which is barely anything. Proton (and other similar services) aren’t exempt from the law, despite what you may think.

Hey look it’s the bandwagon that thinks privacy focused services are above the law and talk smack about those when they follow the law

If you look at the very first page, it says " property of the US government"

I’m pretty sure the USA does not own my South American and European passports nor my driving licences

Say what you will about the country, but gov.br and PIX put everything else to shame and no one even came close to something like that

But you’re not handing your phone over, it stays in your hand and if there’s a QR code to scan they’ll scan it with the phone in your hand

In Brazil, the officer just uses their own phone to scan a validation QR on the ID app, at no point your phone leaves your hand and in a few seconds the officer has what they need. Shouldn’t this be the case in the EU? AFAIK the officers only take your physical ID to check the number, so if you’re using the app they shouldn’t need to confirm that as the info is already validated

In my experience, doesn’t matter. You can use lutris/bottles or install on a windows pc and copy files to the Deck and it’ll work, the distro is irrelevant in this case.

I stick with Steam OS because I don’t see any real world benefits of changing to another distro

They have already stated they’ll do a premium subscription

Reminder

It doesn’t matter if BlueSky has or hasn’t EU offices, if EU citizens are allowed to use their service, then they have to abide by GDPR, DSA and other EU regulations.

Prove it or stop spamming this

This user is spamming the same comments about this on every post about Bluesky and their sources are “trust me bro I hate Jack”

Seems their official/main app is FOSS

I never listen to podcasts and yet Spotify shoves them in my face every time I open the app. Spotify also constantly resets my quality preferences back to auto (which is just low quality with another name). Every time I want to shuffle a playlist, Spotify sneaks in songs they think I might like as the first shuffle option. So I do believe they’ll be forcing this AI slop front and center everywhere and it won’t be as simple as not listening to it.

From the top of my head, you need to keep those apps open in the foreground if you want to sync your photos/files, while iCloud does it automatically on the background for you, showing that iCloud has an unfair advantage over the rest.

Let’s wait and see how this funding won’t be talked about ever again and later on the CEO coincidentally gets yet another raise

That is definitely how it works unless IANA creates an exception for the .io TLD and keeps it alive.

And it’s probably India which has the most English speakers in the world (counting it as native, second or third language)
