ADTJ@feddit.ukto World News@lemmy.world•France to ban smoking outdoors in most places to protect childrenEnglish331·1 month agoI’m from the UK where it’s at least banned indoors.
Visiting European pubs/bars where people still smoke is nuts and my clothes always stink after
ADTJ@feddit.ukto Android@lemdro.id•Fairphone releases open letter to the Community - Apologizes for 3 month support time and says the FP4 will skip Android 14 for Android 15English3·2 months agoIt does feel counterintuitive but it kinda makes sense since it’s probably a small dev team.
The third party OS is being dogfooded and its devs probably use it on a daily basis, making minor improvements, it probably has different people working on a port for their own device, etc.
For a company that’s selling products, their time is split between fixing issues in the current OS, and building the next version of the OS for new phones
ADTJ@feddit.ukto Android@lemdro.id•Fairphone releases open letter to the Community - Apologizes for 3 month support time and says the FP4 will skip Android 14 for Android 15English6·2 months agoI’d heard about it as a secure, pro privacy ROM but never used it since it’s not available on my current device. But after seeing their attitude on some forums, it honestly put me right off ever wanting to try Graphene OS.
I’m glad it’s not just me

That entirely depends on where you live.
Your statement that the vast majority of homes are owned by the residents is not true where I live.
Blanket policies don’t work, governments need to implement regulation that recognises the nuance of different markets.
But also yes, build more homes too
Doesn’t work if landlords just buy that too.
Needs proper regulation
As a Brit, I still find it staggering that some places allow you to drive a manual without having learned how to. It’s two separate licences over here.
Yes, so annoying especially when using source control which is case sensitive.

Because the Firefox looking glass fiasco wasn’t close to the same level and they immediately responded to criticism on the issue.
Meanwhile there is a pattern of behaviour like this from Brave.
Why isn’t the lib politician tagged as lib? It’s so weird
It does often feel like as soon as a significant hurdle is overcome, the industry just makes another one.
Hopefully SteamOS/Steam on Linux gets enough traction to force publishers to reconsider.
ADTJ@feddit.ukto Technology@lemmy.world•Let's Encrypt Announces New-Certificate-Every-6-Days OfferingEnglish1·7 months agoIt would be six days at max, assuming they managed to steal the certificate immediately after it was issued, otherwise it’s gonna be even less.
Having the certificate doesn’t automatically mean you can change the site, if you have control of the site hosting you likely wouldn’t need to steal the cert anyway.
Stealing the certificate would allow you to run a man in the middle type attack but that’s inevitably going to be very limited in scope. The shorter time limit on the cert reduces that scope even further, which is great.
Since most Let’s Encrypt certs will have an automated renewal process this doesn’t even really change the overhead of setup so I think this move makes a lot of sense.
There are other things certificates can be used for as well of course but I’m just going off your example.
There’s really a lot of good value devices out there once you get past the barely functional underpowered cheapo range.
Also though… you spent $250 on a phone just while waiting for your main phone to be repaired?
