Complete guess here, but refunds are probably handled differently by the banks compared to new payments, i.e. undoing an error is probably free(ish), but paying people is how they get you

The point of making of open to everyone was so they’d have other traffic to hide their own secret communications amongst, right?
Not to mention every now and then the shop gets ever so slightly worse and more spammy looking. Steam was a god send when it first launched and I’d hate to see it become what it replaced
Was it a godsend? I thought everybody hated it initially. And I feel like it’s only got better over the years as they’ve added more features.
Faced with the return of one of humanity’s greatest threats, you have no choice but to head to THE TENTH CIRCLE OF HELL:
🇬🇧 THE UNITED KINGDOM OF 🇬🇧 GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND
I think we should put this on the tourist brochures
My first thought when I saw it was “I’ll start my own app store with blackjack and hookers”. Does it still only have about ten apps available? If so then why would anyone use it other than to have a play with a new thing?
It does have the backing of GrapheneOS though, which is comparatively huge.
Hey beehaw, I’ve got the hottest off-the-press rumour for you today: I predict video game companies will continue to produce video games for the foreseeable future! Unbelievable, I know, but my insider knowledge tells me that companies often seek profit by providing goods and services.
Have a look at the game and you’ll see we’re not really capable of taking over anywhere anymore

That’s the one
Probably worth putting this in the post description so we don’t all need to ask “what’s that?”
Fedify is a TypeScript library that makes it easy to create federated server applications based on the ActivityPub protocol.
Amusingly the old Android TV Chromecast (or whatever stupid name they gave it) was actually one of the better boxes for customisability. You could side-load apps so could install a custom (ad-free) launcher and 3rd-party clients like smarttube. You couldn’t really get much better than that without running something like a proper Linux OS on a RPi.
Hoping this one will be similarly OK for tinkering (not that I need a replacement any time soon!)
The example given in the article is for a device you don’t turn on that often
I didn’t know there was a mobile version. PC version was like £3 and had no ads/payments/nonsense, what’s in the mobile version?
not even Google
Google are one of the best manufacturers for this, they have always supported and provided instructions for unlocking as far as I can remember
As if anyone calling it GNU+Linux
would need to ask
They also made the screens ridiculously fragile, one clonk on a normally-safe corner and the whole thing shattered
That read like a TFTS story with no punch line
Maybe that bug report was the motivation for the collaboration! Or maybe the level 1 support aren’t aware of unannounced business decisions.
