That's certainly one of the takes of all time.
Not even touching the problematic ethics here, you expect China and Russia to simply watch the nuclear warheads rain down on their cities and beg for forgiveness afterwards instead of retaliating?

open from a direct link from the Play store (in which the app page opens, however, with almost no information, such as version, permissions, size and so on, and the download doesn’t start.
Tested this myself, as that used to be the workaround for apps not appearing, but I'm facing the same issue on some apps. For the time being, installing/updating manually via APKMirror isn't ideal, but I'm not installing the Play Store.
Mullvad certifiably doesn't log. Their VPN infrastructure even transitioned to RAM-only a few months back. They've been raided by the police and nothing was confiscated because there was nothing to confiscate. Obviously they have a list of registered accounts and payments, but without any connection to - well, connections.
I get what you mean though and mostly agree: There are only a few providers I trust enough to shift said trust from the ISP to them.
As mentioned in the comment you replied to: Yes, trusting a third party is a compromise. But you are also trusting a third party when renting a server for a private VPN endpoint, as well. A third party provider with probably a lot more logging going on than a trusted service such as Mullvad. While being way more exposed.
Since TOR isn't feasible for most users 24/7, trusted commercial VPNs are the next best thing when the alternative is your ISP logging everything you do.
aber dieser Konflikt ist viel mehr schwarz und weiß als es die deutschen Medien aussehen lassen.
Ist er das? Für mich aktuell eben nicht. Ich stimme dir in fast allem zu, die Geschichte von Israel ist schwierig. Genau wie die Geschichte von Polen, den USA, der Mongolei, Deutschland, Portugal, Italien, England, usw.
Unrecht und Leid haben bei der Formung von quasi jeder aktuell bestehenden Nation eine Rolle gespielt. Aber das Aufwiegen von vergangenen Untaten, teilweise durch vergangene Generationen, gegen aktuelle Geschehnisse erscheint mir sehr selektiv und willkürlich zu erfolgen.
Dein Beispiel der amerikanischen Ureinwohner ist schon richtig. Aber wenn die heutigen Ureinwohner anfangen würden, die Eroberer in Form von unbeteiligten Bürgern der USA zu vergewaltigen und massakrieren, würde ich z.B. jetzt nicht denken, dass das ja gerechtfertigt ist, weil die Nation, der die Bürger angehören, der Gruppe der Angreifer mal Unrecht getan hat.
Mir ist bewusst, dass Israel im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Nationen auch aktuell, gerade eben auch vor dem 7. Oktober, Palästina unterdrückt hat. Und hier kommt der emotionale Aspekt, den ich angesprochen habe, für mich zum Tragen: Es wurden friedliche Festivalbesucher und Anwohner niedergeschossen, verschleppt, vergewaltigt, angezündet, gefoltert. Die Taten wurden gefilmt und von weiten Teilen der palästinänsischen Bevölkerung bejubelt. Diese Taten haben meiner Auffassung nach die Reaktionen der israelischen Streitkäfte geprägt: Ihr behandelt unsere Bürger wie unmenschliche Stücke Fleisch? Dann behandeln wir euch auch so. Auge um Auge. Ist das richtig? Auf keinen Fall. Ist das verständlich? Leider ja.
Natürlich empfinde ich Mitleid mit dem unfassbaren Leid, welches die unbeteiligte palästinensische Zivilbevölkerung ohne Schuld befallen hat. Genau wie ich Mitleid für die unbeteiligte russische Zivilbevölkerung ohne Schuld empfinde. Aber es fällt mir in Anbetracht dieser mindestens subjektiv gesehen abscheulichen Taten und der breiten Unterstützung selbiger schwer, Mitleid mit Palästina als ganzes zu haben.
Yeah, I mostly agree on that. Nuclear may be more expensive and risky, but it's also very predictable. That kind of enables it to act as a sort of safety net to smooth over the variable nature of renewables, though changing the output of a nuclear power plant is a very slow process, AFAIK.
I'm not against nuclear power per se, I'm viewing it as more of a band-aid until more mature and universal grid buffers can fill the gap smoothing out the renewable input. Nuclear may very well be a necessary step for some nations to reach their climate targets, I'm not informed enough to judge that. But I fear that the money invested, lobbying and public opinion influenced by that seemingly easy alternative directly hinder the development and deployment of technologies that lead to a renewable, cheap and reliable grid.
Alleine, dass sich die Frage realistisch stellt, ist Trauerspiel genug und ein absoluter Gewinn für Russland.
Yes, but in fairness: The same is true for iOS or GrapeneOS, though that's for valid reasons.
As much as I'd like to use a Linux phone, it's simply not feasible for almost everybody at the moment.
What do people user their phone for?
Linux phones, at the moment, are way behind Android/iOS in terms of security and, since privacy requires security, also in privacy.
Even stock Android has so many more security features, that it's not even close. Verified boot, exploit mitigation, (working) app sandboxing and so on. Not even speaking of specialized projects like GrapheneOS.
Even if the app ecosystem was there and the OS mature, I'd never run my banking through a Linux phone at the moment.
Plus all those Steam Deck rivals are creating mediocre products
While I hugely appreciate what Valve has done for Linux Gaming with Proton and the popularity of the Steam Deck, there are excellent Steam Deck rivals out there. Could you clarify what you mean by mediocre?
Putting it like that, yeah, sounds about right.
As long as you don't use some shady, unofficial ROM on a phone, most phones are actually vastly more secure than your typical Linux/Windows OS.
Their issue tracker is probably the best bet.
Oh yeah, it's usually a very bad idea, especially regarding apps handling sensitive information. Since my use case for APKMirror strictly consists of apps without internet permission in a dedicated, otherwise empty profile, the risk is acceptable.
