The thrill is dangerous, don’t let odium control you.

external monitor or internal?

Your specs aren’t too far outside of the recommended specs on the steam page, for you to only get 10-20fps. Are you sure your monitor is connected to the GPU?

I treat it mostly the same I treat games on linux, if your game doesn’t run, because of spyware-like DRM, looking at you EA, then I guess it’s not for me. Play integrity api is the same in that regard.

Had to switch my mom to a PWA for one of her apps though.

Unfortunately the trend is that those apps usually require play integrity api https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide#apps-banning-grapheneos which requires that the app is running on a verified android(stock) device and custom ROMs can’t run it same for waydroid.

and its just starting, its about to get even worse https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/08/elevating-android-security.html?m=1

And you have data to prove that?

I get your frustration with recent mozilla actions, but I don’t think this one deserves it. For one your point seems like whataboutism. Secondly If you heard about Cambridge analytica it should be clear how much those algorithms shape our lives. It would be good to know for me if those algorithms are really just boring algorithms or if they are shaped by some political or company agenda.

not sure if it has your m3u8 feature but I’m using Auxio I find it snappier than vlc and its more granular about which folder I want to grant it access to and not just demands all file access

just try some out via live boot? cachyOS seems like a solid choice if you’re into gaming

Den Wechselrichter nicht ins W-Lan einbinden, dann ist das Netzwerk auch nicht angreifbar. Halte ich generell so bei Geräten denen ich nicht traue, auch der Staubsaugroboter funktioniert ohne. Habe stattdessen eine Außensteckdose von AVM.

witchOS? 🧙‍♀️ must be whatever runs on iBroom

first time I hear about it, seems to be based on lineageOS?

What’s with the premium tiers? Seems a bit sketchy to be honest.

Agreed. Google just didn’t consent to you getting an app without ads. My hope is maybe we can circumvent it for a while with PWA or browser website bookmarks. Maybe long enough for alternatives to arrive or consumer protection to kick in. I refuse to give up hope even though I might need to abandon android. For now I guess I will just not buy another phone since androids time seems limited. Really hard to find something to recommend to family and friends that just works. My goto grapheneOS also seems more and more cut down with more and more apps refusing to work outside play store downloads or refusing to work on 3rd party OS.

any version of android that’s not vendor or downloaded from the official android website

• like https://lineageos.org/
• https://e.foundation/e-os/
• or the aforementioned GrapheneOS
• calyxos.org (paused)

Done! for the curious, original title, “Cirrus App dev pulling app from certified android devices in '26/'27” new, “Cirrus app dev informing the app will stop working on certified android devices in '26/'27”

Yes you’re right. I’ve worded that wrong in the title!

First of all thank you for providing a foss app!

I think it’s a big difference if the platform tolerates you or actively wants to stop you from doing it. You got my fullest sympathy.

Well for this case in particular yes, the dev will continue to develop the app on f-droid, the platform as a whole takes a hit through this though, so who knows how long they will continue out of goodwill.

edit: Play integrity already is problematic on GrapheneOS

The largest medicare provider in germany states legislative reasons they won’t support other 3rd party OS’

Thank you for these links they are fantastic! I was aware of the procedural lock in via play integrity services and also the lockdown on side loading so that didn’t get past me, but I wasn’t aware google also wants to alienate developers now by requiring ID. It seems to me google want to now fully commercialize the platform, transforming it into the ad infested network that web2+3.0 already became. I think their plan, by alienating non commercial devs, is that all apps will run on their ad models and non without them will be left.
