I can't believe they didn't include the unit. Are we talking 6 small, medium, or large fries? There's variation on where you get them from too. That could be so many fries!

Everyone here seeing this: "Wow so sleek, amazing!"

Meanwhile, Mozilla: "Yeah so we're going to remove compact title bars in favor of touch friendly nonsense. OK. Fine. We will just hide it in about:config until later when we will silently remove it."

A cryptocurrency miner. It uses your computer to generate currency, which costs you resources (electricity, compute power, etc.).

Some of that seems unnecessary (device boot time). But it's not all scary spooky tracking. Some permissions/information is required for certain features.

For example, you can't rotate your app UI if you're not allowed to know screen orientation. Or maybe they do a low power mode if device battery is low, or a warning that the app might not function well if the OS or device is old.

Not saying you're wrong or that Discord is right. Just pointing out that a long list of permissions isn't on its own a bad thing, if those permissions are required for specific features, and not just for the sake of data harvesting.

Yes.

Firefox

As for Samsung Pass, it seems they don't have an easy export option. They only allow a proprietary binary(?) export, which tbh is enough reason to not use it (vendor lock-in is the worst). source

Checking back in to say it works great! Better than the old crankshaft plugin.

This is amazing. I've been waiting for a plugin for Decky that does this since I switched from CrankShaft. Going to try this later!

Prepare to be friended.

For me it definitely reinforced the "don't believe it until you see it" mentality to anything AAA publishers claim about their games. Just like their words in this article, they're meaningless.
