For first party stuff, Nintendo launches finished games

This wasn’t true for several Nintendo games. Mario Kart 8, Animal Crossing and Zelda:Tears all required day one downloads.

Unfortunately there is a fair number of games with a physical release that require downloads to be playable as they are not complete on the cartridge.

Not always true: Not all physical copies contain full copies of the game and will require downloads before the game can be played.

Animal Crossing being a prime example. Mario Kart 8 requires 4.4 GIGABYTES to be downloaded before the game is playable. There have also been cart revisions where earlier versions of the game were complete on the cart… and newer versions of a cart were partial and required downloads as a cost saving measure.

The Brave web browser has carved out a niche over the past few years as an alternative to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and other mainstream web browsers. Some of that has come from its marketing as a privacy-preserving web browser, and it has also been repeatedly evangelized by cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

If someone recommends Brave to you, you should ignore them, because they are wrong. Brave Browser is a mess of a software project, and the company building it is even worse.

Kiddies who like the idea of using a ‘hacker’ distro even though they’d never exceed a Ubuntu LiveCD usecase.

I’ve gotten a few to reconsider after pointing out that all the tools in Kali rely on lax permissions and security flaws remaining on their system for them to be effective when targeting others.

Update your software.

More open formats, more open Internet! Down with Google!

Erm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebP

WebP was first announced by Google on 30 September in 2010 as a new open format for lossy compressed true-color graphics on the web, producing files that were smaller than JPEG files for comparable image quality.[9]

For as long as they continue to support and release code for open formats, there’s hardly an argument here. There are many complaints to be had about Google.

Yours are none of them.

Webp: Open source, source code available to download.

But yes, Google is trying to own the modern web. :eyeroll:

15 years and the EU has to force Apple to allow users to sideload apps of their choice… To have something we’ve had from the start on Android.

And for those who want to complain about what sideloading brings… No, nobody is going to force you to sideload apps on your precious iDevice. It’s just preferable to have the option in the first place.

Sideloaded 32bit apps will still run on 14. It’s only dropping 32bit from Play Store.

32bit apps will still run, they will just need to be sideloaded.

Tell me which of these apps are version limited on my Android 12 device…
