The only uninformed here is you, since SteamOS does not identify itself as Arch, but rather as SteamOS Holo and it does show separately from Arch on the stats.

I bet you use a plain coloured Octane and can’t fathom people use other cars, right?

God forbid people are having fun with games on their platform of choice

Say what you will about the country, but gov.br and PIX put everything else to shame and no one even came close to something like that

But you’re not handing your phone over, it stays in your hand and if there’s a QR code to scan they’ll scan it with the phone in your hand

In Brazil, the officer just uses their own phone to scan a validation QR on the ID app, at no point your phone leaves your hand and in a few seconds the officer has what they need. Shouldn’t this be the case in the EU? AFAIK the officers only take your physical ID to check the number, so if you’re using the app they shouldn’t need to confirm that as the info is already validated

The issue is that the Venn diagram of people interested in vikings/odinism and racists bigots is almost just a circle

If you’re really paranoid about it, you can download AppVerifier and have Obtainium automatically send the downloaded apk to it and verify the sums before installing

It is very much actively maintained other than this supposed vacation from the developer. Everything else is purely speculation and what seems to be impersonation of the dev on the fediverse.

Welcome to the rest of the world mate. This issue here is another “no way to prevent this, says only nation where this happens” as The Onion would say.

That’s pretty much how the rest of the world works, either delivery to pickup points or delivery to person only

Mozilla is definitely trying to diversify their income to not depend on Google, but let us not forget that despite Firefox’s user share declining, their AI and ad friendly CEO keeps getting raises

in In my opinion, it’s likely that nothing will change. If this ever happens, Google might setup an “Android Alliance” with other OEMs which will reach agreements to keep Android as is but for the USA lawmakers and such it’ll seem like everything has changed.

For Firefox, I believe Google will keep injecting money in Mozilla as long as it keeps them from having Chrome being targeted on an antitrust/competitive lawsuit or ruling.

Nothing, really. Usually in the USA Apple escapes this type of rulings because they don’t have a monopoly on anything and/or because it’s argued they build the hardware for which their software run on so there isn’t anti competition (which in my opinion is pure bullshit, but what can I do?)

All Steam games have SteamDRM and you cannot run them without Steam or without the license, otherwise you could just buy a game, backup the installed files, refund the game and still have complete access to it.

On the other hand, it’s quite easy to bypass that DRM with a crack.

“It should be forbidden to pay once and own a thing forever”

Nice try, subscription salesman.

Pretty much the vast majority of the professionals and amateurs in the creative area and hobbyists all around too

Source for what, the lawyers claiming the payment detail wasn’t specified?

I can’t provide you any source on how the fine notices of this nature look like since I have never commited anything to amount a hefty fine like this, but every single official document, bill, notice or whatever you may call it in which requires someone to pay something to the government, you will find extensive details on the account numbers and where to pay. They are not forgetting or not including this information.

Like I have said before and will say it again, the Brazilian law firm Xitter has hired is either comprised of the freshest graduated lawyers that never worked with something like this, or they can’t read, or they’re intentionally playing malicious to avoid paying the fine and causing as much instability as they can on behalf of Musk.

Or they could keep reading the notice(s) and check out all the clearly stated details on who, where and how to send the fine payment

Yeah but here’s the thing, the details for payment of such things is always clearly disclosed on whichever notice they’ve received, and probably this was sent multiple times. Also the lawyers appointed by xitter are Brazilian, in a Brazilian firm, so they are familiar with how this works and the system is not dubious or misleading or confusing at all.

Like I’ve said, they’re either grossly incompetent to a point that they can’t read anything, or they’re trying their “best” to avoid paying the fine but their best is comically pathetic at most.
