I need all the protection I can get now Big Subreddit are after me!

Technically yes, but if you’re already paying for the thing you actually wanted then it’s essentially a free trial on top of that

It’s a free trial. I don’t know why everyone’s so shocked, they’re essentially giving you one or two free books in the hope that you’ll be hooked and want to pay for more!

Google will be shuddering

Well it is spooky season

Come on man, let that shit die with Reddit!

You can still use them with GadgetBridge if Rebble ever goes away too!

the first good wearable computer ever made

That’s an opinion and a half! People might consider it collectable but they’re not exactly rare.

Use Microsoft Teams for a while and you’ll appreciate how good you had it with Slack!

Depends who it crashes into

On Android, Firefox is still less secure than Chromium-based alternatives: Mozilla’s engine, GeckoView, has yet to support site isolation or enable isolatedProcess.

From Privacy Guides. Firefox on desktop though!

Very useful for the people who send out phishing scam emails

All the bank apps I’ve used have their own keyboard built-in

Is security not a merit?

A couple of years ago I set up an old iPhone as a Spotify connect device (as in it sits in a speaker dock and I play music through it controlled by my phone). It was similarly unsupported but I found a not-too-hacky way of installing an older compatible version of the Spotify app via iTunes on a PC (which involved having to install iTunes and find an apple account). I imagine there are instructions both official and amateur available for you to follow, but hopefully you should still be able to install stuff on it. Just don’t do anything involving sensitive info as you’ll be out several years of security updates!

Exactly, so why is rooting even mentioned?

Depends what you want to do, really. I’ve got a proper PC for serious tinkering, my phone has all my private data on so I’d rather have the security that comes with blocking root access.

Strange that the focus point of this article is rooting, you can modify your device to install custom firmware etc without needing root exploits anymore!

…doesn’t have anything to do with warranty violation

You’re still using fire for your torches? My condolences Uncle Sam, I didn’t realise how bad things had got over there!

So what actually is calckey/firefish? Is it just trying to be Twitter? Is it meaningfully different to Mastodon?
