I think we’re looking up at a drinks dispenser, one where you push your cup against the metal thing to start filling.

True, but that just means no more contactless. They don’t entirely block you out of the app afaik, like many other foreign banks I’ve seen do.
McDonald’s was just an example, the point is most apps don’t need to do that at all.
I do happen to know how payment systems like that work, and thankfully those are all cloud-based, the only thing the app does is start transactions and check with the server if they’re paid. If they implemented it well, as I suspect a big corpo like McDonald’s probably would, their own order screen also checks server-side if orders are paid. Not much you can do from the app side to mess with that.
Oh I don’t know if mcdonald’s specifically does this, I’ve never used the app, I just used it as an example because that’s what the guy above was talking about as well.
Fortunately so far I haven’t come across a bank here in the Netherlands that wouldn’t work because my phone was rooted or because I’m running grapheneos. Hope it stays that way too.
It’s the same system, it’s all part of play integrity. And that also applies to this bullshit, why does McDonald’s care if I didn’t install their app from the play store?
Not a single app on my phone was installed through Google Play, it’s all Aurora. Guess if apps really do this i’ll just have to stop using them, cause I’m not installing the play store.
Ngl i think I’d prefer just entering a password once manually over Google doing some magic bullshit to make it work across devides.
The “it’s more lean on resources” always seemed to me like a strawman people don’t like it came up with to diss on Gentoo.
Wait but isn’t being more lean a good thing? Or am I misunderstanding how they’re using that word?
It’s pretty nice, especially in combination with slurp
which lets you select a part of the screen.
I have this mapped to my printscreen shortcut: grim -g "$(slurp)" - | wl-copy
, which lets you select a part of the screen to screenshot, and copies the image to the clipboard.
I mean, if it’s just cosmetic, you really didn’t have to do anything, you chose to do that.
Yeah, I feel like most of the updates lately have been pretty boring. The last “big” change was material 3 I think, but even that was just some visual changes.
They still have the dessert names, they just don’t use them in their marketing. This one is called vanilla ice cream, android 14 was upside down cake or something iirc, 13 was tiramisu.
10-12 don’t seem to have dessert names for some reason though. Those were just q, r, and s.
I’m not sure about the others, but I’m pretty sure Hitman isn’t linux native.
As far as I can find on protondb, neither are Deus Ex or Tomb Raider.
I’ve never had any issues running those games through Proton though, so that’s great.
Nice! iirc the wayland nvidia crashing issues should be fixed in this release

tl;dr: bcachefs dev sent in a massive pull request, linus thinks it’s too big and touches too much other code for the current state of the release cycle, dev says his filesystem is the future and should just be merged
Are you downloading from several mirrors at the same time? In that case it could be faster because the individual mirrors have a lower bandwidth than you have.
Wonder if google would do something like this, but I would guess they download everything from the same server local to you, so I don’t think it should have any effect really.
But what’s the point? Now you’re downloading 2 apps both at half the speed, instead of one at full speed. You still have the same bandwidth limits.
Afaik that only applies if the app is processing payments, which in this case it shouldnt be.
