Australia bans social media for under 16s
  • Sure, if it is already private. But if it is not, then it gets copied to different instances and so if the original post gets removed, it is up to each instance to follow and when.

  • Pixel phones reportedly getting highly anticipated battery charging limit feature
  • What I don't understand is do any of the OEMs giving this feature also combine it with passthrough power? So besides not charging the phone at 80%, it would keep it working using the wire instead of the battery.

  • This is why I still use an Android custom ROM in 2024
  • Having used custom ROMs for years, it can get tiring to fight with SafetyNet, find root backup apps that still work, dealing with bugs the developer may not be able to reproduce and, of course, even finding decent phones that have decent ROMs. I refuse to buy a Pixel until they have a decent SoC and price.

    So for my next phone I'm currently considering an OEM that supports phones for long and has decent customization by default - Samsung. As I've never owned Samsung phones before, I don't know whether I'll like their OS, but so far it looks good enough.

  • Android 16 could let apps show Dynamic Island-like notifications
  • every app wanted to have its own persistent notification

    When? Which apps? I've been using Android since KitKat and I only remember persistent notifications by apps that needed them (to keep working, stay in memory).

    That said, I agree that a permission would be nice, as I am skeptical of the use cases shown in the article mockups. I think it should stay an ongoing notification thing as anything else would indeed take more space.

  • Google is Killing uBlock Origin. No Chromium Browser is Safe.
  • Yes, by default every Chromium browser is affected. It is just a matter of

    • whether they want to extend it to the enterprise time (which Edge and Opera won't do IIRC)
    • whether they'd try to keep it working after enterprise time (maybe Brave and Vivaldi, but it could take a lot of effort)
    • whether they even have an alternative place to download extensions from if CWS takes MV2 extensions down (Brave has some workaround for few extensions, not sure about others)

    Maybe there will be some devs working on Ungoogled Chromium to keep the support, but they also have to think where users would even get the extensions from.

  • Google is Killing uBlock Origin. No Chromium Browser is Safe.
  • We will now [Oct 9] begin disabling installed extensions still using Manifest V2 in Chrome stable. This change will be slowly rolled out over the following weeks. Users will be directed to the Chrome Web Store, where they will be recommended Manifest V3 alternatives for their disabled extension. For a short time, users will still be able to turn their Manifest V2 extensions back on. Enterprises using the ExtensionManifestV2Availability policy will be exempt from any browser changes until June 2025.

    https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/mv2-deprecation-timeline#october_9th_2024_an_update_on_manifest_v2_phase-out

    So there is no single date for normal users, but June 2025 is fixed for enterprise (and expected date for Brave, Vivaldi)

  • UBO Lite Pulled from Firefox Store by developer
  • uBOL is entirely declarative, meaning there is no need for a permanent uBOL process for the filtering to occur, and CSS/JS injection-based content filtering is performed reliably by the browser itself rather than by the extension. This means that uBOL itself does not consume CPU/memory resources while content blocking is ongoing -- uBOL's service worker process is required only when you interact with the popup panel or the option pages.

    uBOL does not require broad "read/modify data" permission at install time, hence its limited capabilities out of the box compared to uBlock Origin or other content blockers requiring broad "read/modify data" permissions at install time.

    Emphasis mine. No background processes, including a website-reading permission does indeed sound more optimized for mobile, where people may have limited resources.

  • Disable back button opening drawer and prompting exit

    Please let us disable using back button to open the drawer and on next press, then a prompt to exit the app. I want Connect to behave like any other Android app does - exit the app immediately if there is no navigation stack left.

    Reklaam r/Eestis?

    Mis oleks, kui u/sunaurus peaks natuke r/Eesti moderaatoritega nõu, et teha reklaami ja kolida vähemalt osa rahvaga siia? Oleme ju digiriik, inimesed kohanevad muudatustega 😄
