Well honestly, that's too soft. They did not decide. They were pushed by regulators to follow the law. So bowing to pressure is more appropriate in my view.

You got 2 apps on your phone???

The kind of super secret gay that only super closeted gays could achieve.

Don't make this guy a meme. He does not deserve that.

How the fuck does anyone think its a good idea to keep people from vaccinating? They realise the virus just keeps spreading globally if any one country keeps having it in circulation? Just bizarre. Just like Russia.

Yeah, try to avoid using USB hard drives.

Can you elaborate for which use case you'd see them as less reliable than other options? I am using USB connected drives now for about 2 years in a home setup and haven't had any bad experiences. My use case might be a lot more low tech and than others though.

Google allows that though or do they mean access of Google Play via 3rd party apps?

Not that I am saying it might not be necessary to include Google from the start, sets a good precedence and prevents a future where they might go the Apple route.

Just hope both Google and Apple won't restrict opening up to Japanese market only. But who am I kidding, they will.

Would be really nice to name them when posting such a comment...

"Feels a bit like an invasion of privacy" as opposed to what that you already do on these platforms???

It is nice but development seems to finally have stopped. That said, right now it works perfectly fine. Just once Lemmy servers undergo major changes it might not anymore.

If its for research paper storage and organising, why not something dedicated like Zotero? Or even Menedely, that's more commercially oriented. You can pay for online storage space for either and it names and organises your papers for you. If she is concerned about TOS changes and AI enshittiffication I'd stay away from Menedley though, its an Elsevier product by now (massive scientific publisher).
