allegedly pounding his meat too loudly

The MuteMotion Core Engine algorithms, binaries, and mathematical transformation logic are PROPRIETARY ASSETS of MuteMotion Tech / Adriano Neto and are NOT governed by this license. Access to the Core Engine is restricted and requires separate licensing.

Booooohhhhh!

I tried out the Apple version of that feature on an old iPad I have lying around. It’s cool but really not rocket science to implement. Copying an Apple feature and then acting like they invented it and need to keep the PROPRIETARY ASSTES a secret is beyond lame.

That would be a huge ask, figuring that out for the American political system would be amazing.

Change the electoral system from first past the post to one of the saner alternatives (preferably https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote) and the rest will follow on its own.

Abolish the 2 party system while you’re at it.

Videos that stop at 1080p often have an increased bitrate option with Premium (no idea how YT decides when to offer it). 1440p and 4k are available to all without Premium.

Are there any real advantages?

1. No 5 seconds forced delay when using ad blockers

2. Higher bitrates available

3. Ad blockers don’t work on Chromecast, other solutions don’t offer easy casting from the phone app

4. Better value than audio only services like Spotify

How is this legal?

In a world where Meta got caught torrenting entire book archives, anything goes these days.

But strictly speaking, it’s not because it’s based on decompilation and not a clean room reimplementation of the engine. That’s like using a translation service to translate a copyrighted book into another language and then manually iron out the kinks. But in a world of mass piracy for LLM training, nobody gives a shit about such little projects any longer.

Well, of course. All notification contents go through Apple’s servers (or Google’s in case of Android).

Certain people in Iran also can access the internet to hack Western infrastructure, etc.

By your logic Iran’s internet hasn’t been blacked out either because politicians there can still post announcements on Twitter.

A nationwide intranet isn’t internet.

Pretty sure North Korea does not have internet.

Oh good, now you can watch ads on your giant tv when your console or PC game ends because the TV will know.

You connect TVs to WiFi?

They already explained why they didn’t.

Having a sense of humor helps.

True and people without any shouldn’t attempt April Fool jokes

Easy fix: Don’t fork OnlyOffice. Start your own office suite and just happen to port over some parts of the code base that do not include any logos. Same, same but different.

They can simply say on their download pages that residents of Brazil and California are not allowed to use their OS.

Humming this tune right now:

RANDY WALTERS IS A SON OF A BITCH

Even more qualified.

That’s not a high bar to clear TBH

Is Valve’s update cycle really worse than what the typical Android device gets?

No but also yes. No because Valve supports their hardware extremely long but also yes because several design decisions of SteamOS as seen on Steam Deck weren’t made with data security in mind. Storage isn’t encrypted, Game Mode has only a simple PIN lock but the underlying Linux account “deck” has no password, so Desktop Mode (=KDE Plasma) cannot be locked out of the box.

That said, Valve will release a Linux ARM version of Steam later this year, so there is no need to solely rely on Valve for a Linux phone that runs Steam and its games.

The OLED Deck is easier to repair yourself if that is a consideration.
