I was confused for a second asking myself when Kroger was split into Kroger Sued and Kroger Nord.

Again, this is an article about German startups. But you claim that this also applies to established mid-sized (usually family-owned) companies that are the opposite of startups: They have successfully saturated the demand for the niche that they are specialized in and neither potential nor interest in expanding further (within their niche, at least). So far, you have provided no justification for your claim, besides ”surely, no one would refuse a lot of money“.
Here, the developer explained why development activity decreased:
While it is true that due to private reasons I had to take a bit of a pause of developing FlorisBoard and some time passed with no progress at all, implementing a completely new statistical NLP (Natural Language Processing) provider, or in laymans terms the long-awaited word prediction and spell-checking implementation, is also a huge task which takes a lot of time and trial-error and development time.
Android supports multiple payment providers. Some banks implement their own payment provider (e.g. Sparkasse in Germany), most just rely on Google Pay (now Google Wallet). Google Wallet has strict requirements for the Play Integrity API. Because of the modifications to Android that GrapheneOS is implementing, it is not eligible to receive the required integrity attestation and thus, Google Wallet is refusing to work. Google could at any point reconsider and certify/whitlelist GrapheneOS, which would allow Google Wallet to work using GrapheneOS. Likelihood close to 0.
Any banking app implementing their own payment provider is completely independent of this decision unless it also relies on Play Integrity API attestation (or a similar mechanism).
You are comparing GitLab (the application) with codeberg.org (the website operated by the codeberg e.V. non-profit). A fair comparison would be gitlab.com (the website operated by GitLab Inc.) with codeberg.org or GitLab (Community Edition or Enterprise Edition) with Forgejo (the application powering codeberg.org). They can be fully self-hosted and are both planning to implement AcivityPub-based federation.
The sidebar on his Patreon page says
you can actually donate any amount you want per month.
On this page, you can scroll down to the bottom, and there is an option “Or choose your own price” with a “Make custom pledge” button.
You might have heard of alternative frontends to services such as YouTube (Piped, Invidious), X/Twitter (Nitter), etc.
Something similar exists for Fandom: Breezewiki. This instance seems to occasionally result in errors, other instances seem to work more reliable.
You can request a copy of your data according to Art. 15 of the GDPR. If they reject this, escalate to your local data protection authority. This way, you could gain access to the data even if Google tries to block you.
… well, theoretically, at least.
We can only guess. But they can probably detect contacts for which the phone number is updated or which have several assigned phone numbers.
This is just a frontend, DeepL (or any other engine you use) still sees the text that you translate.
That does not sound plausible to me. Typically, your own computer would be behind a router that is either doing NAT or has a firewall (probably the former). Any incoming traffic would be directed to the router without any chance of reaching your computer. Whatever you saw was either outgoing traffic or incoming traffic in response to connections initiated by your own computer.
Connection attempts from the FBI? Could you specify that a bit further?
I don’t actually care about the IP address, I am just curious if a website is accessed via IPv4 or IPv6.
Firefox (I am not going to repeat the obvious ones that have been mentioned numerous times):
home assistant, freshrss (and a few related services such as rss-bridge), nitter and piped. I tried to host libregrammar, but ran out of memory.
i.redd.it
and v.redd.it
might make sense as well. There is a bunch of subdomains and other domains (…oauth.reddit.com
, …redditmedia.com
, …), but they are only used if you connect the the main sites (i. e., not hot-linked), so blocking those will be sufficient to block all reddit-traffic.
I don’t see a future for reddit with the upcoming changes – at least not the part of reddit that I value. With the AMA it became clear (if it was not already) that reddit does not see a problem with this and the blackout will not change anything about this. To be honest, I think their plan might work, and they will end up with a profitable TikTok-clone a few years from now. But the community will be dead.
Some time on the 12th (tomorrow), I will delete all my accounts, uninstall all apps, remove RES, and block reddit in my hosts file (for good measure). (To be honest, it feels quite exciting to experience the demise of a platform at this pace!)
Reddit was at its best when it was a tiny fraction of its current size, so I feel confident that we can build great communities elsewhere. And the group of people that are mad at reddit is heterogeneous enough for this to actually work.
I am using Librera Reader. Make sure to install the F-Droid version (Librera FD) without Google Play services.
It is primarily an ebook reader that supports a variety of formats, but it is also an excellent PDF viewer. Significantly more feature-rich than any other FOSS PDF viewer for Android that I have found.
