Summary for people who don’t like to read for 10 minutes:

Only Google Pixels are currently affected

from Calyx’s post:

• Google did not publish any device-specific source code for supported, modern Pixel devices.
• In previous years, Google released full device trees alongside new Android versions. This allowed developers to build and boot AOSP on Pixel hardware relatively easily.
• With Android 16, only the platform/framework code has been released. The device trees are missing, at least for now.

So let’s don’t panic and just wait a few days until more information is available…

So I just had a look at your robots.txt:

You explicitly allow searching your content by bots… That’s likely one of the reasons why you get bot traffic.

A yes, a public dns resolver funded by taxpayers money and nothing of it is open source…

Sounds like a massive waste of money to me. Just give someone like Mullvad (they already have a DNS service that is open source) that money instead of trying to be another shitty DNS Resolver.

Also the company behind this looks incredibly scummy and their products are mostly buzzword-bullshit. The whole company is based on selling a DNS blocklist for as much money as possible.

People want to be safe online. They are even willing to pay for it. They just want their telco to offer them a smooth way to get there. Common cybersecurity products struggle with low adoption rates due to the need for downloads. Whalebone Aura requires no installation or updates and activates with a single click.

That’s sounds a lot like the ISP is implementing some kind of deep network inspection “to protect you from the internet”… aka censoring.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airship_accidents

Apart from the 80% of the entries that are basically “Crashed during bad weather” - my personal highlights:

… breaks loose from its mooring during a storm and is blown over the English Channel; after sightings in Wales and Ireland and a brief touchdown in Belfast, the airship was blown out over the Atlantic Ocean and is never seen again.

Zeppelin LZ 8 Deutschland II (brand new) is caught by a wind gust while being walked out of its hangar and damaged beyond repair after it smashes on the roof of the hangar.

… the airship, weighed down with gold and burgundy paint, reached 600 feet altitude before beginning an unplanned right descending turn, making a “controlled descent” into a garbage dump, impaling the blimp on a pine tree, coming down just a quarter-mile from the site of the Hindenburg’s 1937 demise.

… suffers an intentional mid-air collision with a radio-controlled airplane.

Lemmy is open source, so feel free to go back to Reddit

I did this because it looked better this way… and it was totally 100% intentional :D

What do you mean? An african or european owl?

I don’t want to say anything against their efforts because competition in a market is always great, but their product pricing and setup is just laughable.

Example: 4vCPU 16GB RAM Instance

• Stackit(Scharz/Lidl): 120€/month, 4 locations
• AWS: 110€/month, with saving plan: 60€/month, 30+ locations
• OVH: 70€/month, 16+ locations
• Hetzner: 7-12€/month, 5 locations

For who is the pricing designed? Super big companies where management is dumb enough to buy that crap? “We have to host there because our companies CEO knows their CEO” situations?

There are a ton of other EU companies that get the job done a lot better.

Is this a crosspost from https://lemmy.world/post/29709088 ?

Just keep using Remote Desktop Connection aka mstsc.exe?

It’s even recommended by Microsoft:

Although replacements have been released, as of the release of the Windows App, Remote Desktop Client is still recommended for use.

As it wasn’t mentioned before: GitHub Discussions also launched in 2020

That GitHub comment makes my brain hurt and gives me Microsoft community forum advisor (run ChEcKDiSK tO mAYbe fIX tHe ProBLem) and “leave the multi-billion dollar company alone” vibes.

Also it’s not a single line - when looking at the source file - and a complete section instead.

GitHub Copilot, as used in the documentation here, is free and integrated into the IDE.

1. It’s inside the dotnet Docs. dotnet has nothing to do with an IDE. You can code/run dotnet code in any editor or terminal if you like.
2. This person assumes that Visual Studio is the only IDE for dotnet. Looks like they never heard of Rider or VS Code or anything else.

I do not think that you can call it an ad if it is for a free tool.

WTF is he defining as an ad? “Advertising is the practice and techniques employed to bring attention to a product or service”. The whole section is bascially “Hey you can use Copilot to do this” - that’s an ad right there.

Even if you interpret this as encouraging users to pay

Makes no sense. Does this person think ad = you have to pay for it???

it is hardly the first time that dotnet documentation guides users towards paid Microsoft products: are we going to start complaining about all pages with references to Azure next?

1. A deployment target is not the same as “AI”
2. If a page/section is not named like “How to deploy example app to Azure” then it shouldn’t contain any reference to Azure. And yes you should complain about such stuff if it exists.

The only part of this I actually object to is that I don’t think that what essentially amounts to ‘prompt an LLM’ belongs in documentation, although at the very least the page does disclose that the output may be erroneous.

That’s basically what the whole issue is about. WTF are you even talking about then? Just shut up and give an upvote.

Overall a totally useless comment.
