Also, why do these replacement screens always insist on increasing the resolution?

The low res is one of the main reasons the Deck holds up as well as it does.

It's made by folks that once worked on the original Opera (back when it was still good).

Basing their new browser on Chromium is unfortunate, but the spirit of old Opera is there: customizability and focus on features for power users.

It's the browser I'd be using if I abandoned Firefox for whatever reason.

I'm surprised it's not cancelled yet.

I think at this point its development is even more troubled than the original, which is kinda impressive in its own way.

I'm still not sure. It's hard to believe anyone at their company would OK this idea.

Are they actually trying to deliberately kill their brand?

No vibration at all? That's a really strange choice...

Kagi is anything but private friendly. Their CEO claims only criminals actually want anonymity.

They also think they don't need pay taxes or to abide by GDPR if they invent their own definitions of the laws.

I don't know why, but personally it really rubs me the wrong way.

It's not really "false advertising", since it's not a paid app, but still...

Real open source alternatives exist, but they require Spotify Premium to actually stream music legally straight from Spotify.

Seems like Organic Maps aren't saints either.

Apparently the recent lack of updates on F-Droid is due to them including referral links for hotels and refusing to remove it or make it an opt-out feature...

Here's a relevant issue if anyone's interested: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/7218

//edit
Looking at the discussions it's even worse, the devs try to argue that F-Droid is being unfair and referral links shouldn't be "misclassified" as ads...

It wasn't a back door, it was a safety feature working as designed. IIRC it didn't have any modern security implemented, because it's very old.

Also, the link from the OP doesn't mention that, but the trains in this story had locations of competitors' repair centers coded in, and were apparently set to auto-lock if they detected sitting in one for more than 10 days...

Yeah... They didn't remove an app review, they removed a rant.

I think you're just being pedantic here.

I'm pretty sure they meant when messages are sent using the iMessage app - from the point of view of iPhone user distinction between iMessage protocol and SMS/MMS doesn't matter.

Not replying to the dev's messages and not paying them for 2 years is not an innocent mistake.
