The text of the new Texas law is here.

I wonder if this will apply to/be enforced on FDroid and Obtainium?

copying my comment from another thread:

“App store” means a publicly available Internet website, software application, or other electronic service that distributes software applications from the owner or developer of a software application to the user of a mobile device.

This sounds like it could apply not only to F-Droid but also to any website distributing APKs, and actually, every other software distribution sysem too (eg, linux distros…) which include software which could be run on a “mobile device” (the definition of which also can be read as including a laptop).

otoh i think they might have made a mistake and left a loophole; all of the requirements seem to depend on an age verification “under Section 121.021” and Section 121.021 says:

When an individual in this state creates an account with an app store, the owner of the app store shall use a commercially reasonable method of verification to verify the individual’s age category

I’m not a lawyer but I don’t see how this imposes any requirements on “app stores” which simply don’t have any account mechanism to begin with :)

(Not to say that this isn’t still immediately super harmful for the majority of the people who get their apps from Google and Apple…)

Laura Loomer was shockingly on point in stating that Machado’s “actions are actively stoking and promoting violent regime change in Venezuela.”

Note that I am, despite your assertion, using the full uBlock Origin, not the Google-friendly uBlock Origin Lite

Seeing your screenshot I was curious how that works, so I spent a minute searching and found this post from June 2024 where Vivaldi says:

We will keep Manifest v2 for as long as it’s still available in Chromium. We expect to drop support in June 2025, but we may maintain it longer or be forced to drop support for it sooner, depending on the precise nature of the changes to the code.

In my quick search I didn’t find anything more recent about their schedule for dropping it, so I guess (assuming your software is up-to-date?) they haven’t dropped it yet but presumably will do soon.

But in any case, Vivaldi is proprietary/closed-source, so, I recommend against using it.

It is not superintelligence.

It’s common intelligence at scale.

no, it really isn’t. if you don’t believe me, maybe you’ll believe Yann LeCun? (often called one of the “godfathers of AI”)

If you don’t know less than 50% of Americans have a passport.

It reached 51% last year

Sure it’s possible, but you can’t actually do it. Because you need a dedicated programer

I try to avoid recommending proprietary software but FYI the multimedia authoring tool formerly known as FutureSplash Animator which you presumably knew as Adobe Flash Professional (or perhaps Macromedia Flash before that) in fact lives on today as Adobe Animate and it can now target HTML5/SVG/WebGL/etc.

There are also many free/libre open source alternatives to it.

if he and your sister^[1] are people you plan to continue to maintain contact with, you should aim for something that will be conducive to improving your relationship with them rather than further deteriorating it. and if they aren’t, then nothing.

“Two economists are walking in a forest” wasn’t supposed to be an instruction manual

i’m guessing it might have something to do with the fact that jlai.lu is configured to default to the Local view while lemmy.world defaults to All

Looking at the network tab while loading a thread, I see you need to include type_=All.

(lemmy-ui sends other parameters too but your example URL works for me with just tyoe_=All added.)

it’s “open core”.
