Neither is putting random system files/folders in the C: drive outside of where they need to be, like in the Windows folder

Another possible explanation from Hanlon's razor: MS is going all-in on vibe coding

Sounds like the OS is put together with duct tape if deleting an empty folder can break things so easily

I'm still learning how to use it as well, but the basic methodology is to lookup the github page for the app you want to install and add the app to Obtanium using that github link. This is where f-droid comes in handy for finding github pages. Default settings are usually good enough if you don't know what they do.

I've been told that its unnecessary to use the App Verifier to check apps installed through github, but you can still do it if the SHA signature is available on their github.

I use Obtanium since it's apparently more secure than f-droid. F-droid is still a good place to search for FOSS and privacy-respecting apps. For anything that I can't install through Obtanium, I'll use the Play Store.

To make it easier to search for shows that you want to watch that Netflix doesn't have

What copyrighted music did YT train their AI with?

Call it what you will, but all signs seem to indicate that generative AI is simply not as profitable as the evangelists want it to be.

Looks monopole-like? The TX power didn't change much unless the board antenna was poorly matched to begin with. Angle the board so that the other device is in the null of the radiation pattern and the range becomes awful

Federated social media is much more resilient against censorship than corporately held social media.

Something that's free with zero or minimally intrusive ads is what attracts users. Moreso than UI/UX.
