Free as in free beer, not as in freedom. You can technically block undesired (or all) outgoing connections via opensnitch/portmaster, tho.

I'm wondering if those criminals are by chance mentally challenged. A private and "secure" phone with a proprietary "secure" messenger hidden as a calculator app... Doesn't the word "anom" ring any bells for them?

Idk, vr porn is creepy af. Or at least it used to be 5 yrs ago or so... Imagine a girl so huge one her tit is bigger than your head, for example. So, yeah, I noped out pretty much instantly

Now that's not creepy at all

Sure, no problem... I'll just trigger reader mode in Firefox instead

They paint themselves as an arrogant and problematic client to deal with.

Huh, apparently they sometimes behave like that with customers as well: https://lemmy.ml/comment/14451901

Well, at least they used to be a while back: https://l.opnxng.com/r/SuggestALaptop/comments/ukgaf/general_consensus_on_malibal/

Just tried to find teardowns of more recent laptops of theirs to see if it's still the case, rather unsuccessfully. Although, I've found a few more reviews (in addition to those in the comments):

Soo, now I'm even more skeptical of their statement that their communications to those developers were nothing but polite

TeXurger, LaTeXurger, XeLaTexurger...

I'm wondering if syncthing in gplay can show some kind of warning that the app is discontinued pointing to use the fork version on f-droid, or, if that's prohibited by play's EUFOA (end-user fuckover agreement), discussion on the forums mentioning the existence of said fork... [addit: So, kinda like what termux folks did, but less covertly]

Ooo, pretty, thanks!

I'm not sure you can classify this as a failure, as explicitly prohibiting interfacing with non-agpl stuff would greatly limit the amount of stuff you can license under it, perhaps up to the point of making it generally unusable. As for "not like that"... Well, yeah. But you can't deny it's misleading, right? Free software kinda implies you can modify it whatever you want, and if it's a free ui relying on a source-available middleware... Turns out, not so much.

Although, a posdible solution would be require explicitly mentioning if you're basically a front-end for something; but I'm not sure if it can be legally distinguished from the rest of use-cases.

Is there a similar list of ~~good stuff~~ [sry, ofc I mean notorious criminals stealing what little money a licensor needs to buy a new yacht] but for music?
