Google s is the largest, but not the only one. Amazon, Samsung and some OEMs have their own app stores too.
There are alson sites that archive and distribute apks, like Apkmirror.
I have a tablet logged to nothing (as in no account, not the OEM) and all my apps come from fdroid, obtanium or apkmirror.
It started as an experiment, and honestly it’s (for me) not a big hurdle, but an app store would make things easier, that’s for sure.
I didn’t want to read the article because I expected horrible things written in there. Like this.
Thanks
I had been using Linux for home and work for the past 10 years, dual booting for games mostly (do basically only to use steam).
Recently I had to change jobs and was given a windows laptop. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that the candy crush ad is still present on corporate devices. In a $3500 workstation from a fortune 50. What the hell.
I managed to get a Mac instead. IT is still laughing about me for asking Linux instead
Some coworkers play it and say there was a rework/update “recently”.
They also say its much better now than on release.
There are at least 5 openly independentist parties, some of which held government, in Catalonia.
How many are there in China?
those identified as leaders or significant participants in secessionist activities, and classify actions causing “significant harm to the state and its people” as offenses that may result in the death penalty.
I have this cherry for you to pick, if you want. Anyway, if your point is “independentism is not exclusively punished by death in China”… Yay? Best dictatorship ever.
Being aware of something outside of your own ass, something pretty foreign and alien to an apple fanboy like you.
It’s people like you who made it possible for Mac os to not have proper snapping until 2024.
Bitwarden and other password managers get the app Id automatically on Android and can have multiple apps/websites associated to a password, you only need to search once and tap “auto fill and save”
ELI5: what does this mean for the end user? Is there any simple test I can do with both to see this?
Should have been called The Legend of Link just to perpetuate the confusion
Please, if there’s a god, don’t let ChatGPT learn from hexbears.
I don’t want it explaining why actually invading Ukraine is good for Ukraine when I ask for a smoothy recipe.
Have those but been harvested? Did the users get compensation?
The day that has any effect aside from bloating the thread, I’ll accept they are not stupid.
If the alternative is Microsoft, you’re between a rock and another rock that used to claim not being evil.
Libreoffice all the way. Most users don’t need more than that.
I didn’t downvote it, but I really didn’t like the video. It goes like “the things that are problems in Linux” and then starts talking about an extremely customized system, from DE to kernel, to audio…
I don’t think he gets, in general at least, to explain why those are needed, just how complex it all is. It would have been more interesting to say “this are the problems with an out of the box distro, and the hurdles it took me go fix each one”.
Mind you, this doesn’t mean I think a fresh install of Ubuntu can perfectly work for him. But knowing what didn’t work and why might be more helpful for people considering the same
A pity the last point is a link to YouTube. The Google owned video platform.
I would either point to a competitor or at least an invidious server.
Vista was going to make everybody go Linux. Then Windows 8. Then Windows 11 requirements. Then Recall…
Let’s me honest. Average Joe doesn’t understand or care.
Right now for 75% of users it’s less work to install Linux than Windows, with all the crap people does to avoid TPM, Microsoft account, edge…
Plot twist: they are deported to Ukraine.
And Hiroshima
