5·1 年前We need better than that. We need a pinky promise.
As Louis Rossmann likes to say, this is a rapist mentality.
Ask for forgiveness instead of permission.

1·1 年前In capitalist America, laws decide you!
Yeah, it’s possible with something like Shizuku. scrcpy works via adb, so something similar could work on-device.
It’s just not a part of Android’s standard permission system.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google restores Nextcloud user’s file access on AndroidEnglish
21·1 年前The vast majority of users exclusively stick to defaults.
Microsoft got in a lot of trouble in the 90s for simply including Internet Explorer in Windows, as it disincentivized people from installing a different web browser such as Netscape.

5·1 年前What is legally defined as personal data in this case? Public usernames, public posts, or private messages to another instance, which states clearly that messages aren’t private and to use Matrix instead? Or is there something else?

14·1 年前The CA Prop 65 warning is a perfect example of this. Most people just ignore it because it’s on everything (which probably isn’t inaccurate, especially when most products contain some type of plastic).

Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracyEnglish
4·1 年前Always has been unless you count modding to remove this kind of shitty DRM.
Nintendo was the company to popularize DRM in home consoles with the US release of the NES. The Famicom had no DRM even though it was identical hardware otherwise (well, that, the RF modulator, and the PCB layout).
Or Nintendo.

We need the corporate death penalty.
