Backdoors are bad for security
You can disable the feature, it's called something like near device discovery. Also check this cool app that lets you spoof those devices and spam the suggestions.
Please provide a source for posts like this. Not that I don't believe it is probably true, but there's lots of similar fake stuff on the internet and nobody should believe that somebody said something just because it was written on an image.
Why not just post the comics on the website like every other comic author does. Even this comic is normally posted on the workchronicles.com website, but for some reason, the author added this to the website:
📣 ANNOUNCING
NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER!
For the entire month of November, the comics will be posted only on my Email Newsletter.
Join now. It’s free!
Stopping posting on website and posting only in newsletter, which many people including me find extremely annoying and not the right tool for the job, can't be excused by distancing from twitter or reddit.
The message at the bottom sounds like pretty shitty move.
Why not? It always seemed to me like a lot of duplicated work to package everything on every distro.
These are some of my essential Android apps. It's a lot, but I couldn't decide which ones are less essential, sorry. All of them are FOSS and can be found on F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid (F-Droid compatible) repos
- Neo Store is my favorite F-Droid client (F-Droid is essential, but the official app sucks IMO)
- Aegis is a great 2FA authentication app
- AirGuard if you think you might be a victim of AirTag stalking
- AShell (requires Shizuku) for ADB access without computer (you need to be on wifi tho)
- CloudStream when you are too broke to afford 10 subscription-based streaming services
- echo unmaintained but I was unable to find any alternative. It records in the background and keeps the last N minutes in memory. You can save last X minutes as mp3 whenever you want.
- feeder is a great RSS reader
- Inner Tune best YT Music client on F-Droid IMO (I tested all of them I could find few weeks ago)
- KDE Connect - connects you Android phone with your PC
- KryptEY might be useful if EU bans encryption
- libretorrent best torrent app on Android I have used
- Translate You translator app supporting many sources
- unexpected keyboard is my favorite for writing terminal commands in Termux or programming
- Voice is the must have for localy downloaded audiobooks
- YTDLnis is very cool yt-dlp GUI full of features + can be set as downloader app in ReVanced settings
- and the best of all: Termux - Linux terminal on your Android
- bonus: zotify (website) is the only Spotify downloader I know about that actually downloads from Spotify (!). It's a command line app. It can be pretty easily installed in Termux though and usage is not very difficult if you are familiar with the command line. Please read the README. I personally love it.
iT's fOr yOuR kiDs sAfEtY!!1!1!1! As much as I like being in EU, I hate this and hope it doesn't pass.
Yes, but people find this interesting because historically, Microsoft was actively trying to destroy Linux (look up Halloween documents) and even said that Linux is cancer.
Use something FOSS.
There's a Black Mirror episode about that!
