I agree, it is only a short term solution. For at least the next few years I don’t see Huawei doing so being a relatively small player. Long term unfortunately OpenHarmony is licensed under the Apache License so Huawei could end up locking up parts of it like Google ended up doing with Android.

I will probably move to HarmonyOS while keeping an eye on how OpenHarmony develops

Why are you posting this? Where in the source code is the spyware?

If you are right, a community fork without the spyware will be started before the end of the day.

Sorry for not answering your question. Yes it is available: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases

Kate is your friend for text editing. Probably other KDE apps too if they are also available on Windows.

VS Code isn’t what I would call lightweight. It is 500MB of Chromium bloat doing a good job of pretending to be an extensible text editor.

That said, I learned to love it and I actually use Cursor.

Yes, I get the contradiction of posting a video hosted on Youtube. But I’m not going to make perfection be the enemy of good.

Does HarmonyOS allow side loading? I just got my Honor Magic V5 but don’t see myself staying on it long term. I wouldn’t update past a certain Android release but I will run the risk of being on an insecure release.

Edit: Confirmed. HarmonyOS Will Support App Side-Load. Maybe F-Droid can move to OpenHarmony.

EA makes third-rate games. Why couldn’t the Saudi PIF invest in Square Enix or Sega or Koei Tecmo?

The updated rootkit will be uploaded and installed to your computer kernel automatically upon closure of the deal.

Is this for real? I don’t think EA was purchased for the kernel-anticheat. There are Israeli companies that make spyware, Jared Kushner wouldn’t need EA for that.

Without a Windows release it will remain a niche browser even if by chance it becomes the most used on macOS, GNU+Linux and other Unix-like OSes.

Laptop is a misnomer, almost no one puts them on their lap. They are portable desktops.

Shame that Samsung is the top selling Android vendor. I wasn’t aware of this when I went with Honor but I’m glad I did.

Isn’t Trump a protestant?

Even if you pretend that only the Republicans are bad this is still bad in theory because they win half of the time

Trump is European, specifically German, so it is no surprise

Suggesting a non-Android-derived mobile OS shouldn’t get you downvoted. While I too risking going against the grain, I recommend OpenHarmony. It is available on laptops and should become available on smartphones eventually.

How are they going to ban Mastodon?

Just look at feddit

In Germany, antisemitism is specifically sanctioned in German criminal law, both for speech and as a motivation for other criminal behavior. In addition, Germany seeks to protect the Jewish state of Israel (the so-called “Reason of State” introduced in 2008) and thus verges toward protecting Zionism as well. Certain criticism of Israel/Israelis is also categorized as “Israel-related antisemitism”. Since criminal law is involved, enforcement can mean things like police raids and device confiscations. After such police action, it does not really matter if it was appropriate or if cases are dropped or never charged: The damage is done.

10% equity isn’t much and wouldn’t influence Intel siginificantly but if they wanted to embed spyware in the CPUs they don’t even need to acquire any stake in it and probably already would have done so. All Intel CPUs for sometime now have been running Minix, it would have been easy for them to do so all along without doing so in the silicon directly. Plus Intel introduces security exploits in the CPU by themselves without the US government demanding it.
