There is some line on the roof, but the roof still strangely lines up. The tree in the background nor the sky have a visible line.
Furthermore the text on the tire is garbled, and the whole image has this “covered in vaseline” feeling to it.
Clearly we are reading different articles in that case, or I must’ve really missed the bit you’re so staunchly referring to.
Or maybe you can, I dunno, quote whatever bit of text you’re so staunchly referring to?
For something so apparently obvious you sure seem reluctant to put it to text.
Thus far I have given you the benefit of doubt, but you have yet to come with a real argument.
I cannot, nor will I argue against what I have to imagine your opinion to be. Either say what you mean or say nothing at all. Until then your point is moot.
I remain as lost as I was.
The only differences I noticed are the ones google is forcing through with their new “advanced flow”, but that does not constitute a “functional difference”.
Please do elaborate on this functional difference the play store has and the microsoft version doesn’t. I’m a little lost here.
I can use my F-Droid apps just as well as their play store counterparts.
It’s distinctly different from just installing an app *via the play store
But is otherwise just installing an app.
Do I “sideload” Steam on windows too if I don’t go through the microsoft store?
There’s some amount of AI-fuckery going on.
Not just Linux: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.nqmgaming.aneko/
Just read the article, it’s not that hard:
Songs tagged as AI-generated on Deezer are automatically removed from algorithmic recommendations and not included in editorial playlists. The company announced today that it will no longer store hi-res versions of AI tracks.
Mark those songs as AI and let people filter them out.
Deezer does just that. As per the article:
Songs tagged as AI-generated on Deezer are automatically removed from algorithmic recommendations and not included in editorial playlists. The company announced today that it will no longer store hi-res versions of AI tracks.
They’ve been working on systems to recognise AI songs for quite some time now.
You’d rather pay google?
I guess I’d rather pay google too. But I’d even rather support a third party search engine, even if that means a small portion of whatever revenue I generate goes to either microsoft or google in the short to medium term.
For what it’s worth, it appears DDG is also working on their own index:
We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results. Of course, we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing.
https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/sources
I don’t like how Startpage’s owner owns a bunch of legacy search engine URL’s (such as webcrawler and dogpile) and just serves the seemingly same engine on all of them.
(Also yes, WebCrawler used to be a search engine, before the practice of “crawling the web” came to apply to what all search engines do. Pretty neat history!)
Ecosia can use either Google or Bing under the hood, and is working on its own search index along with Quant.
But, honestly, “it uses X under the hood” is such a reductive take. If you never give alternative search engines a try, they’ll never gain the userbase to actually build their own foundation.
Using Google (or Bing) itself means you’re contributing to the problem.
Kangaroos are Long Legged Mammals, so–
Likely? I don’t know the details. My old S22 which did get updated no longer has the option.
They can if they want Google services.
There may have been concern from banking apps and the likes as well? Though it’s been a while since I’ve looked it up.
Edit:
The Strategy
In general, it is difficult to balance the needs of the average user who benefits from Android’s built-in security mechanisms and the user who wants more freedom. Companies like Google and application developers expect their code to run on a trustworthy device and will only provide their services on such devices.
Fairphone has made the conscious choice not to offer an option to root the device on its Google-services enabled software.
Unlockable, hopefully. If Google doesn’t crack down further on it.
Earlier generations of the Fairphone simply had a root toggle in the settings, but they removed that.

The A and especially the E on “terrain” look messed up.
