Yeah, I don't really have a reason to stay with HSBC. A responsible me would look for a bank with better credit card interest. Might as well shop around for a new one.

It's possible. First example I can think of is NYT's games app uses their own keyboard. It's clunky, but if someone is concerned (or data hungry) enough for the users security they certainly could.

Yeah it is bad. Maybe it's the case again that the default screen reader is allowed but third party ones aren't?

Okay, I just tested turning on the built in screen reader and it launched just fine 😑

Of course there will always be some risk. But HeliBoard and some other keyboard apps are open source and can be audited. I'd trust (I know, you should do your own homework) the more popular ones have a lot of eyes in them.

 

In a recent update to the HSBC app they've added a screen to prevent you from using the app unless you use the default (google) keyboard.

They do a similar thing if you have an accessibility service running that can access the screens content. A fair enough security warning if you've happened to install a dodgy keyboard app, but highly frustrating when using an open source alternative that enhances the security and privacy over the default option (HeliBoard in my case).

I haven't found a way to circumvent the page yet. It would be useful if Android allowed you to block the permission to query all packages, but alas.

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. What part of the OS should managed the packages? The creators aka. Microsoft/Linux foundation/Apple/Google, the distributor, or a kernel module? What about cross platform package managers like Nuget, gradle, npm?

What? Surely seeing something popping up on steam and buying it happens far more than someone spontaneously buying a game in a store when walking around town/ a mall.

Maybe I'm a recluse, but I can't remember last time I went into a store that stocks a meaningful amount of games other than second hand shops. Are physical games really that large of a margin anymore?

So there's a lot of text under the criticism section, And I'm sure my argument against it is nothing new, but wouldn't the operation and monitoring of the door take some energy? Even in a "friction less spherical cow" perfect world, removing the cost of operating the door seems to be a bit of a stretch.

What are the arguments for it really?

I've never quite gotten into wine either. I like most stouts and porters. Bit anything too hopy in my bear and it's going in the sink. Shame with the whole IPA revolution going on. Other than that cider and cocktails are the only thing I really enjoy consuming. Everything from the sweet Swedish Briska to the most fermented fresh pressed apple cider goes down without much problem.

One of my favorite Let's Play games. I tried to play it myself for 5 minutes before hard noping out. I've become a bit braver since my teens, so maybe I should give it a shot myself some day.

But it's amazing to see just how far you can push HL's engine.

Oh the battery status would be handy, thanks for the tip!

I'm not a massive fan of the lean mechanic. I haven't played the game, but it usually just either slows down the game or it becomes an obligation to continuously wiggle back and forth. Maybe if something like csgo's jump/duck penalty was in place to make repeated actions slow you down instead.

My wooting keyboard's management software has an official appimage that works perfectly fine.

The same can't be said for the Logitech Pro Superlight. I honestly haven't tried running G Hub under wine. But having a quick look around there seems to be pretty straight forward solutions out there to program Logitech devices.
