How does she get around the restrictions? I'm not aware of a way to do that on iPhone

Change the region. Not time and date, that can be blocked by screentime. Change the region. Sometimes takes multiple attempts but it does work. I had to pay a bug bounty to my child to get them to tell me how they did it

uninstall app when limit runs out, reinstall used to work.

For anyone (like me) wondering what this is. Foamcore is foam with paper on each end (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foamcore)

Looks like people use it to organize board games: https://www.orderofgamers.com/abomination-foamcore-v1/

Disagree. "Just do it" works for some people. Not everyone.

In my experience, I hated looking at a gray screen, so I just stop using my phone when it's in grayscale.

But they didn’t say “just do it” :)

They said “spend effort ensuring other meaningful time-draws are around that are more fulfilling/less damaging”.

Relevant excerpt:

> the actual problem is finding meaningful activities to replace your empty screen time, which isn't necessarily easy.

That's true. I came off too dismissive. I like the advice, I was just disagreeing with:

> it’s clear to me why they rarely work: ...

and

> boring old discipline is much more sustainable approach

I like the idea of trying a more holistic approach, but grayscale doesn't have to contradict with that. Some people (myself included) can use grayscale as a tool alongside other things.

Approximately the instant when a single component (RAM) of a comparable product (Gaming PC) became more expensive than the entirety of said product.

I wonder what you'd think if bus tires exploded in price and started costing .25 London busses per tire.

> We can make it a bit more terse using list comprehensions:

    import functools as ft
    def fact(n):
        lst = range(1, n)
        return ft.reduce(lambda acc, x: acc*x, lst)

Amusing that there's not a list comprehension in sight.

Nextcloud isn't lighter and leaner outside of docker. It isn't faster either

On the other side, docker is just installation system, so why even care.

You wouldn’t deploy NextCloud if not for docker.

I actually manually ran both ownCloud and Nextcloud manually before switching to docker.

Edit: just checked because I remember upgrading to Owncloud 6... This was 12 years ago to be fair.

Strange, on my nixos seems to be possibel!

That isn't a bug; it's working as intended. I do wonder if that could be mocked up easily in html to see what it feels like though. Sounds like a cool idea

I'd believe it. Not sure when this is, but if it's a few years old and business software, they could probably asume everyone uses java, which doesn't even have unsigned integers.

Right but just because it's `int id` doesn't mean all code that uses it will still work when it's negative.

True, but it does seem like the best alternative here. If it's a SOAP API in 2005 for business customers, for example, then it sounds like the least bad option of the four (tell consumers to update, hold up the whole company's deployment, push negative ints, or push longs). I'm just saying that to me, it isn't hard to believe this was the best option here.

With $MY_JOB in java, that was my assumption

One interesting aspect of this is that when using a personal Android with a work profile, developer options and ADB is (or at least can be) disabled. BYOD will then imply you can't sideload at all.

And nothing of value was lost. BYOD means Corporate can push whatever spyware they want onto your personal phone. I tell any employer I work for, if you really need me to be reachable by phone via an app, you can supply me a work phone. Otherwise I'll do without. I keep a bright-line distinction between personal devices and work devices, and never mix the two. My boss knows this explicitly.

That's great for you, but not everyone has the ability to do that. Android has a massive markershare. What are the odds that all of them can force their employer to get them a new phone?

Maybe that's something employers shouldn't do, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a reality and google is overstepping with this change.

Please. This is an event up there with Sony taking Other OS away: tinkering nerds and pirates most affected, the vast majority of consumers won't even notice. I don't think it reaches that level of impact. And I think most Android devs working professionally already have developer accounts, or their employers have one, and are already verified.

That's what this really is about. If you want to distribute Android apps, be a professional or at least act like one. Take accountability for what you produce, under your real government name.

Do you see the direction they're heading? They're now making it so maybe .5% of android users know how to sideload. They're clearly chipping away at it, even though they might not be making all the changes at once.

What fraction of users do you think have a legitimate need to sideload apps on Android? I would imagine it's much less than 0.5%. Developers and technically-minded power users must be a tiny minority amongst Android users given that it has an install base in the billions.

Right now, not many. My point is that they aren't flipping a giant switch from an open platform to a closed platform. They're boiling the frog -- slowly removing features until all choice is gone.

A few more years in this direction and Android can be as locked down as iPhone before Apple was forced to allow sideloading

I mean, piracy is a common thing on Android devices, at least here in Latin/South America.
