When this was released, MicroShit forced Amazon to remove Minecraft from non-Amazon devices, so they could sell the expensive windows store version. I had purchased it on Amazon appstore for my nephew through a gift card balance that I had. I had to buy it on Play Store again. 🤦♂️
And the greedy ducks probably won't bring it back to non-Amazon devices again.
My dreams sometimes seem like a well choreographed movie. happens both in 1st person and 3rd person at times and often I'm also aware it's a dream.
I'm hearing a few mentions about ReactOS recently. What do people mostly use it for? It seems it's trying to be a Windows XP clone, can it run latest browsers, which do not support old Windows versions?
a tinfoil hat?
And helps US keep its military complex rolling.
If you use on android apps from the playstore, most apps are built to relay their notifications through Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), so they don't have to have a background notification listeners running 24/7. It also means less overhead from multiple notification listeners from every app having its own. So yes, if an app is built on top of google play services, it requires "google play services"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firebase_Cloud_Messaging
If an app says it doesn't rely on google play services, it uses an alternative notification listener or websockets, which might not be as effective, because Google is inbuilt and won't kill its own apps, the scale of its infrastructure, and its habit of listening on people's activity.
Add in Androids habit of killing background services, and you don't always get your notification when the app isn't in the foreground.
Even Signal from Playstore uses Google Play Services for notifications.

assuming the CPU support list is decided by TPM 2.0 availability
This was me before I checked the compatibility app. Windows never bothered me with Windows11 update so I thought It didn't have TPM2.0+. I got curious and used the compatibility checker.
The laptop had TPM 2.1, but CPU is not compatible. oh well…
Afaik KMPlayer on Android uses libVLC, so it's still just a wrapper of VLCs player library.
Everyone talking about how tremors were not detected in India. Nobody talking about where the earthquake actually occured. Nepal is on an actual fault line, the alert system would be a perfect place for it, but no…
People in Nepal:
Well I guess we'll just die during an earthquake, then.
I have a chinese friend and when I asked them to look for signal, whatsapp, or telegram, the apple app store had them all but they didn't work after they installed it. They just got a loading screen or couldn't sign up.
Android custom ROM scene was big back when I was rooting and playing with ROMs, as people found how to root their obscure phones by translating chinese forum posts. You don't have to access apk sites, there are other ways to share apks. Last I heard fdroid was accessible from China as far back as 2014 until recently.
Here's a quote from fdroid themselves.
In the Chinese app store market five to ten commonly used app stores, and yet even the largest has less than a majority market share. Most Chinese people have more than one app store on their phone, so there is no monolith there, whereas “outside of China, Apple and Google control more than 95 percent of the app store market share”.
Do some research before you perpetuate misinformation that confirms your bias.
But fuck the CCP for authoritarianism.
Incompetence is however a valid excuse grifters use when they want to fleece a dumb populace.
"where did our donations go?"
"oh, we don't know. it definitely didn't go into our pockets, we swear. anyhow, we're out of money. please donate more. we're the only hope for freedom left in the world"
Firefox being irrelevant and Safari coming to the rescue against Chrome is a pipedream. Apart from their upper management issues and community unfriendly UI department, Firefox is doing just fine imo.
Firefox's stats look bad because they block trackers by default (enhanced protection) and most news sites and tech "journalist" take a user stats off of a tracking company (statcounter), which depends on script placed on websites to "track" users which is blocked.
Firefox users are also more likely to use superior adblocks and privacy extensions which doesn't do its usage metrics any justice. There are also popular forks which come with these things inbuilt which are still Firefox.
Apple should start allowing alternative browser engine on iOS and also start blocking trackers by default too, since it so overwhelmingly likes to market itself as "privacy friendly" and see how soon its usage stats drop.
This is coming from a Firefox user who remebers the founding of Mozilla and the company name being a combination of Mosaic and Godzilla.
