Which way is the right way… ? Asking for a friend…

If I ever get into smart home crap, I’ll definitely be aiming for a local network solution >_>

Of all the garbage I was happy to not see on Lemmy…

Looks like there may be a few more, haven’t used any of them though.

Outside of what is likely a privacy nightmare at this point within Nova, they haven’t added a feature in like 8 years, just seems silly for me to keep using it, wish I liked another launcher more >_>

Hardware backed attestation isn’t about security or privacy, if you can’t pass SafetyNet on your Android device you can’t install certain apps, but even with stock software and passing SafetyNet you can still install malware direct from the App Store, it’s about vendor lock in, always has been.

Edit: Clarified my point.

I don’t get it, if 3PA is only 1% of the traffic, why even bother murdering them?

Man, I read your word vomit like 4 times, I believe you are right about all of it.

I read all of the apps threads about why they’re quitting on the 30th, for Apolo which has already charged its users he would have to foot the costs the whole time until the next subscription re-up for many/most of his users, and we’re supposed to believe the reddit guys?

For others, even the ones that want to make it work with added subscriptions, the lack of full reddit access via the API makes one wonder, what’s the point of even trying?

Reddit has been an awful site for nearly 20 years, the only thing that made it usable was third party apps.

I’m not sure I’m going to miss it, I hated it before 3PA, and I’m willing to hate it again now.

The only thing I’m going to miss is world news updates and stuff that is here, the volume is basically muted in comparison.
