  • Adobe Creative Cloud rewrote hosts file to detect installed app

    Jump

  • i realized that the problem with an hosts file is the the system will completely bypass the dns server and directly contact the address. There is the need of something that enforces an IP address blocklist at the router level like opnsense

  • Right, it won't ask the DNS server to resolve it, the solution requires a much more expensive blocking on firewall

  • ONLYOFFICE accuses "Euro-Office" maker Nextcloud and IONOS of License Violation

  • Difference between Open Source and "open" source

    This is "open" source and it was the main reason it got forked (lots of proprietary bits included as binary, impossible to send a PR, obfuscated code)

    It's "open" exclusively for marketing "our product is better because it's open source" and mostly because in this way they can use GPL 3 code for libraries without paying for a different license

    Fuck them

  • Probably making sure that the sweet telemetry reaches their server after the URL got included in some blocklist. Solves nothing as who included the URL, now will include the IP address.

  • Here's the severance package Oracle offered laid-off US employees

    Jump

  • In Italy if you get fired (not if you quit voluntarily) it's mandatory by law to get 75% of salary for 104 weeks (but from the six month it will get reduced by a 3% monthly) plus the severance package is at least 6.9% of the yearly gross salary multiplied by the number of years worked there.

    On top of that, most union contracts (97% of workers in the country) increase that amount of money that the company has to pay.

    Finally, it's a bureaucratic mess. You can't just fire employees with an email sent Friday afternoon and expect to get the offices empty on Monday. In order to fire more than 5 employees over 120 days the company has to get agreement with unions (money incentive to resign; early retirement; higher and/or longer severance pay) and if it's doesn't get an agreement within 45 days it will need to get an agreement with the government (another 30 days) where need to pay at least a 5850 euro tax for each fired employee. So from the cuts announcement, workers have at least 2 months of full pay and full work.

    The only way to fire employees "American style", "from today you're unemployed" in Italy it's bankruptcy (chapter 7) but proceeds from the liquidation Will be used to pay

  • iPhone New iOS Age Verification Sparks Outrage as Users Say 'I Will Switch to Android'

    Jump

  • Yes. Here is how the icon was in August 2025, before the launch of apple liquid ass:

    And Google home had a similar "glass" icon redesign

  • iPhone New iOS Age Verification Sparks Outrage as Users Say 'I Will Switch to Android'

    Jump

  • We all know that every other manufacturer is gonna copy apple, exactly how basically overnight everyone switched to the flat icons of iOS 5

    Example: Google has already redesigned the Google maps icon on Android to look more "glassy"

  • How? The TOS for selling phones with Google services is that they can't sell phones with an Android fork outside China. Even the ODM is affected, meaning nobody will ever think this.

    I saw in Italy that selling phones without Google services is a death sentence, Huawei crashed from 25% marketshare to 0% basically overnight even if they already had a "plan B" where they made "new" phones using the same specs and codename but in a different shape to buy time and when they launched their fork they had a 1:1 replacement for GMS called HMS so devs could still embed Google Maps and it will be replaced automatically by petal maps. Devs could upload their apps with a single click and users could install Google services unofficially installing an "unofficial 😉" APK with all the right signatures. Nobody did that. One click = too much work = nobody touches the default

    At least they can leave the bootloader unlockable for us, but fucking Xiaomi really needs to make 200 new fucking models a year with lots of proprietary bits and abandons them after 6 months so it's impossibile for the community to make a well supported custom ROM. They copy everything from apple except the part where they should only make 4 fucking models a year. Basic, standard, pro and pro max. Don't need a "Xiaomi Redmi note 29T pro 5G wideband edition"
