Reform UK could strip FCA of power to regulate banking if elected in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk

Unfortunately Reform is the ignorance vote so majority of people won't care about stuff like this (until the inevitable recession a decade later).

Angela Rayner resigns as deputy PM over failure to pay enough tax on flat - live updates in c/uk_politics@feddit.uk
[–] biscuit 15 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Kinda had to end this way, really.

You'd think someone of her status would absolutely ensure that her situation was checked over regarding tax payments. Honest mistake or not, her position became untenable.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 30 minutes and counting now in c/games@lemmy.world

Agree with this - I wanted to love Hollow Knight so much, and there was a lot I did love about it, but I really struggle with that specific type of 2d platformer.

Google rolling out Android 16 QPR1 with Material 3 Expressive redesign for Pixel in c/android

Agreed, it's made my 3 year old Pixel 7 look and feel like new.

Your Pixel's big Android 16 QPR1 update brings more than just Material 3 Expressive in c/android
[–] biscuit 6 points 6 days ago

My Pixel 7 is apparently up to date. So whilst the OTA URLs are available it seems the update won't deploy automatically until tomorrow.

Android 16 QPR1 brings a major design overhaul, an early look at Android’s DeX-like desktop mode, and much more.

Google not required to sell Chrome or Android, judge rules in antitrust case - live updates in c/android

Respectfully, what are you going on about?

The EU and UK antitrusts also came to the same conclusion as the US.

Summary

  • A US judge has ruled that Google doesn't need to sell off its Android operating system or its Chrome browser in a monopoly case

  • However, the tech giant has been ordered to share data with competitors to help open up competition in online search

  • The judgment follows a finding that Google acted illegally to maintain a monopoly in online search

  • Google was sued by the US Department of Justice in 2020 over its control of about 90% of the online search market

  • Prosecutors accused Google of spending billions of dollars annually to Apple, Samsung, Mozilla and others to be pre-installed as the default search engine

  • The US said Google typically pays more than $10bn (£7.8bn) a year for that privilege

Did you forget to switch to your alt?

PSA: The Amazon Appstore shuts down next week in c/android
[–] biscuit 1 points 3 weeks ago

Back in those Gingerbread days, Amazon were basically doing the Epic Games thing where every other week they'd release a paid app or game for free. It was worth tolerating the crappy app store just for that!

I'd be interested to hear how it goes for you.

Google Photos is cooking up a more social way to react to shared pictures (APK teardown) in c/android
[–] biscuit 2 points 1 month ago

The Android/Pixel Lemmy communities are insanely sour and pessimistic, I've noticed. Every single Android post will have a comment bemoaning the subject, and another comment saying that Google is evil. It's tedious and so much worse than Reddit.

Looks like the designs of the Pixel 10 series has leaked. Pretty much identical to the Pixel 9 series, unsurprisingly.

The new Debian VM on Android 15 - what use-cases are there? (self.android)
submitted 6 months ago by biscuit to c/android

The latest version of Android 15 on the Pixel devices lets you enable an experimental Terminal app and Debian VM. What are the fun use-cases of this, that you can think of? Let's assume the finalised version of this feature will include the ability for sound drivers and proper port mapping/forwarding.

  • Running web servers off your phone might become feasible
  • Basic light development work
  • Use to easily SSH to other clients if needed
  • Already proven it can run DOOM

There's bound to be many more use-cases as this feature expands, and especially when Android replaces ChromeOS in the future.

I'm not in the beta, and this is what my WhatsApp looks like now. This might be old news, but until today I had the green UI.

(Sorry for the crappy censor job. I wish Android had a blur feature built-in)
