Hi! I'm looking for a privacy respecting Android tablet.

I ruled out the google tablet due to it being too expensive with an LCD screen

I would prefer a nice OLED screen if possible (or similar), and preferably cheap. Must be able to stream HEVC encoded videos (not 10 years old hardware), and preferably more (VP9, AV1, for future proofing)

The main use will be to watch content (movies, series, videos) from YouTube and Jellyfin, and sometimes some other apps if they're not enforcing the Play Integrity API

So far I've searched some OS and I'm considering LineageOS or /e/OS, with /e/OS looking better in terms of privacy. Don't want google to track everywhere I go and everything I do.

Any recommendations for good cheap hardware with bootloader unlocking, and recommendations for a good Android ROM?

Europe needs to support Taiwan more to offer them more options over fascist America in order to protect their sovereignty.

In my understanding, GPL is a copyleft license where your code can only be used in open-source projects (vs permissive licenses where your code can be used in closed-source projects).

Based on a few quick searches and my general understanding, it seems that AGPL is a more restrictive license where closed-source projects can’t depend on your code at all (?) and LGPL is a more permissive license where your code can be used in closed-source projects (?).

edit: After a bit more searching, I found that LGPL is still a copyleft license but a “weak” one. It looks like LGPL code used in other projects, if in their original form, can be closed-source but must be open-source if there are any changes. What constitutes as a change? Do ports count? How about updating syntax, like Python 2 to 3?

Also, it seems that AGPL might be almost the same as GPL (both are “strong” copyleft licenses) where AGPL just has a clause for source code sharing when it is shared over a network. In that case, why use GPL over AGPL, and vice versa? There seems to be many projects using GPL, so what is the downside to AGPL? Is the network sharing thing a bad restriction for some people, and why?

(back to original post from here)

I could be wrong on some or, more likely, all of those points. I also have a few questions. What is the difference between GPLv2 and GPLv3? If LGPL is more permissive, what are its differences compared to a license like MIT? Why would you go for one or another? And for AGPL, why would you prefer one over another? Is it simply how much (or really, how little) you want your code to be used in closed-sourced projects? And how do all these licenses interact with each other? Can you use GPL code in AGPL projects, and vice versa? What about LGPL code, is that too permissive for GPL or AGPL or can it be used in those projects?

To start: Vaccine critics like Mr. Kennedy often give the impression that scientists haven’t seriously researched whether vaccines might cause autism.

In a Times Opinion analysis, we can demonstrate that researchers have.

Palantir's stock slumped more than 9% on Tuesday, falling for a fifth straight day to continue its pullback from all-time highs.

The artificial intelligence software provider’s stock has slid more than 15% over the last five trading sessions, after a stellar earnings report earlier this month propelled shares to all-time highs. The report was Palantir’s first-ever $1 billion revenue quarter.

It's a start, I guess. Keep it up and tank that shit to hell where it belongs.

Bessent told CNBC that Russian oil now accounted for 42 per cent of India’s total oil imports, up from less than 1 per cent before the war. He contrasted that with China, where Russian oil imports rose modestly to 16 per cent from 13 per cent.

It sucks this app didn't last. It's really the best possible lemmy client imo. Seemed like it was making progress to. Oh well, maybe someone else will puck up the torch eventually

Euro zone businesses saw new orders increase in August for the first time since May 2024, helping overall activity expand at the fastest pace in 15 months despite persistent weakness in exports.

The HCOB Eurozone Composite PMI [Purchasing Manager Index] rose to 51.1 in August of 2025 from 50.9 in the previous month, beating market expectations of a slowdown to 50.7 to mark the sharpest pace of expansion in the bloc's private sector output since May of the previous year, according to a flash estimate.

[A PMI is diffusion index that summarizes whether market conditions are expanding, which is indicated by a number >50 - or contracting, suggested by a PMI <50.]

The growth was supported by a third straight expansion in the services sector (50.7 vs 51) and an unexpected rebound for manufacturers (50.5 vs 49.8), their first in over three years. New orders at the aggregate level increased for the first time in 14 months, despite a reduction in new export orders.

The signal of new capacity demand drove firms to increase their headcounts for the sixth straight month.

[...]

The UK S&P Global Composite PMI rose also to 53 in August of 2025 from 51.5 in the previous month, ahead of expectations that it would inch higher to 51.6 to set the sharpest growth rate in private-sector business activity in one year, according to a flash estimate. The expansion was carried by the services sector (53.6 vs 51.8 in July), which also rose to a one-year high, to offset a steeper contraction for service providers (47.3 vs 48).

The strong momentum for services in the UK drove new business volumes at the aggregate level to rise the most since October of last year, even though factories recorded the strongest decline ne new work since April, pressured by economic headwinds of higher input costs and a global protectionist swing to goods trade. Input inflation was at the highest since May, with firms citing the burden of higher National Insurance payments and their impact in labor costs.

Looking forward, business expectations for the upcoming year increased.

Manuel Castro Almeida indicou que as alterações climáticas "ajudam, evidentemente, mas o ser humano tem de se adaptar" e, nesse sentido, apontou a necessidade de se "tomarem medidas, porque as populações não podem ficar sujeitas" aos incêndios.

O ministro da Economia e da Coesão Territorial adiantou que será aprovado esta quinta-feira em Conselho de Ministros extraordinário uma lei sobre apoios que vigorará para o futuro e um plano para a floresta a 25 anos.

"No ano passado, fizemos uma lei para vigorar só no ano passado. Este ano, não fizemos uma lei para este ano, é uma lei que pretende vigorar para o futuro e depois será adaptada ano a ano, consoante o que acontecer", adiantou Manuel Castro Almeida.

O ministro falava aos jornalistas em Sernancelhe, distrito de Viseu, onde reuniu com autarcas de cerca de 30 municípios da zona Norte do país afetados pelos incêndios nos últimos dias.

"Procura ser uma lei de enquadramento para regular os apoios que o Estado dá, que deve dar às pessoas que sofrem destes incêndios descontrolados", afirmou, a propósito do pacto de regime que tem sido pedido por autarcas.

O governante acrescentou que, agora, o problema é outro. "É como é que vamos parar isto todos os anos? Todos os anos há incêndios, não podem é ter esta dimensão gigantesca que estes tiveram e concentrados aqui em alguns territórios", defendeu.

Manuel Castro Almeida indicou que as alterações climáticas "ajudam, evidentemente, mas o ser humano tem de se adaptar" e, nesse sentido, apontou a necessidade de se "tomarem medidas, porque as populações não podem ficar sujeitas" aos incêndios.

"O interior tem enormes dificuldades, se ainda têm de acartar com mais esta dificuldade, qualquer dia não há ninguém no interior. É preciso tomar medidas", defendeu o governante.

Neste sentido, adiantou que o ministro da Agricultura apresentará, no Conselho de Ministros, em Viseu, um "plano para a floresta a 25 anos, que prevê medidas de fundo para resolver este problema".

"E eu espero que possa haver um grande consenso nacional em torno disso", realçou.

Estou mais familiarizado com o procedimento na Alemanha, onde a tolerância é zero, qualquer erro mesmo que de valor reduzido, implica logo se chamar a polícia, multa desproporcional e banido da loja.

Ao ponto de na Alemanha evitar as caixas automáticas porque se um erro acontece as consequências são reais e ninguém quer saber se foi erro genuíno ou não. E tive 2 situações que me ia tramado a sério até deixar de usar as caixas automáticas de vez.

Qual é a política dos supermercados portugueses para quem não paga? Duvido que sejam tão rigoroso mas também não pode ser descaradamente

Porque se a tolerância for a este nível também as deixo de usar em Portugal.
