It doesn’t have to be a binary choice. We could have regulations that require EV charging stations on new construction, from street lamp poles, etc, and still let people fill up their gas car.

The government should probably do something to combat the proliferation of huge pickup trucks, but idk what that would look like.

But you can move it when it finished, and then continue your meal, yeah?

How do you know if the charger will be busy?

Ah OK

Why three cameras?

Does it need a camera?

It’s me. I did it.

After more than a year of hard work, we are thrilled to announce the launch of F-Droid 2.0, a complete redesign of the official F-Droid app and the largest app update in 10 years.

For more than a decade, F-Droid has helped people discover and install free and open source Android apps. F-Droid 2.0 builds on that foundation with a modern interface, better app discovery, improved search, and a simpler experience that works well, whether you’re new to F-Droid or have been using it for years.

This isn’t just a visual refresh. The user experience was redesigned to integrate smoothly with current Android patterns, like Material Design, while keeping familiar F-Droid interactions in place. Key components were reworked and rewritten using Kotlin Compose, the standard toolkit these days, creating a foundation that will help us deliver improvements more quickly in the years ahead.

We are excited to begin rolling out F-Droid 2.0 to users over the coming weeks after 14 test releases.

What has changed?

One of our main goals for F-Droid 2.0 was to make it easier to discover, install, and maintain the apps you rely on. We simplified the main navigation into three core areas: Discover, Search and My Apps. Categories are now integrated into Discover, making it easier to browse and explore, while My Apps provides a central place to manage installed apps, updates, and potential issues. Settings and Nearby Swap are still only a tap away from the top bar, but no longer compete for space in the main navigation.

Why do you like it?

I tried it but i ended back up with the official fdroid for some reason i don’t recall.

And that person has to have come up with this on their own

Why is this a requirement?

Plenty of people who would use privacy-respecting, free software that a tech-savvy friend likes and uses will now have to go through this process and probably decide it isn’t worth it.

This happened to me :(

Time to stop inviting Gary

Forward deployed wouldn’t imply that to me, but it is a valid inference.

To me it just sounds like fieldwork.

In a lot of places the fact that sex work is borderline or strictly illegal complicates this.

Where? Are you talking about the camera version or the mic-only version?

One other argument i can think of is that with phones, it is suspected that they are passing what they listen to up to cloud servers for ads and stuff, but hard to confirm.

With the glasses they will definitely be sending data from microphone to Meta’s servers.

That is a good point about having graphene as an option on some phones.

I was talking about the version of the glasses that will be sold without cameras.

I don’t think the parent prioritizes time with son, rather, $20 could pacify them for a while

In what way?

Are we assuming that phones aren’t listening all the time and glasses are?

Or that you can theoretically turn off always listening on phones but not on glasses?

Or that the phones are Apple / Google / Samsung, etc, but the glasses are Meta, so that’s different?

Or just that phones are already out of the barn, and one listening device per person is bad enough, but glasses we will have a chance to regulate with common sense data privacy laws?

It’s been a long road[…]
