Google clarifies that this status can carry over to new devices, so you only ever have to go through it once.

Which makes no sense, if the property is in Android itself.

For example, lots of people use phones without any google play framework installed. Without that framework, how does it "carry over"?

This just raises more questions about how this whole process works.

Is it only the play api doing so? If so, then if you de-google, this entire problem goes away?

If not, then how can you 'carry over' to a phone unless you also install the play framework? Seems like that's unhelpful.


AFAIK, all current versions of Android have Google Play Services. It's an essential part of the "official" Android.

If you run GrapheneOS, LineageOS or whatever, then it's not real Android, and the entire problem of your OS restricting you from installing apps does not exist.


If you don't have the framework, you don't have to worry about any of this (you also don't get the benefits, bank apps that require validated OS, tap to pay etc, without the framework).

This change was never relevant for devices without Play Services.

This notarized apps restriction only exists on Google Android builds, so the workaround also only needs to exist on Google Android builds.

Thanks for stating in one sentence what this slop article danced around for 10 or so paragraphs.

Does anyone have an archive.is? Page hasn't been loading the 4 times I tried over the course of an hour.

Found one: https://web.archive.org/web/20260328080015/https://hn-trusts...


It's not littering. It shows why fax is stupid and they should accept email. Littering has no such benefit.

The employee probably already knows fax is stupid, and was probably looking forward to the proposed new secured document portal, but the legislature voted down the funding again this year so they could claim to be fiscally responsible. (Don't know the author but I do know govt workers who have expressed this kind of frustration ) Blind author needs to piss off their legislator, not a cog in the machine.

It's needlessly generating excessive amounts of trash and waste. It's wasting tax money. It's hurting the next blind person who won't be able to fax his documents because the machine is down/overloaded. It does not show why fax is stupid. It shows that faxing reams of unnecessary paperwork is stupid. It does not show that they should accept PDFs over email (genuinely a great way to get hacked). There is no benefit in trying to DoS the SSA office.

This should have been in the article:

Diamond Open Access (or Platinum OA) is a scholarly publishing model where journals and platforms are free for both readers and authors, with no Article Processing Charges (APCs).


Not just the heading is LLM-flavoured. So is the writing, e.g. "The shell is a toolbox, not an obstacle course."

Yeah, there are a few of those, but overall there wasn't really enough prose in total to really irritate me. And those LLM-isms do come from somewhere, and I really do get the sense that some humans are effectively training themselves off of AI now.

So the more junk lines the more it's worth. Right.

Don't use bogus $ from sloccount. Just say I created a 10k line project.


Loc means nothing. Tokens burned is a better metric.

It's gone from 45 when I looked at it an hour ago to 261 just now.

Please don't be too much inspired by FastAPI - at least regarding maintainer bus factor and documentation (FastAPI docs are essentially tutorial only), and requiring dozens of hoops to jump through to even open an issue.

agreed. as I said, it was a mistake from my end. and clearly looking to better myself.

Same! Only just realized it thanks to your comment.

I thought your comment was starting with "Samuel". Plenty of people on sick leave as of late - must be difficult for many to focus their sight.

So this means one can't just copy over unsigned apps from previous phone when transferring.

As others have suggested, there should be an option skip the 24hr wait when activating at setup time. Or, alternatively, when the previous phone one is transferring from has it enabled it should be without wait time on the new one.
