Title is unnecessarily dismissive of the many nations it does affect. The named country is also one of many that it doesn’t. The list is quite long: https://developer.android.com/registered-app-stores/faq#geographic-regions-registered-app-store

Rust SDK definitely supports both of those things, so it’s definitely a skill issue on Fractal’s part. Shame. May be worth reaching out to the developers about exposing that functionality

Anything using the matrix rust SDK should be able to do these things. I’m not sure if it ticks every box here, but maybe give Fractal a go. It’s native GTK and uses the rust SDK

Great read! Very digestible too. I learnt something today, thanks

We?

You can tell because whenever someone points it out, you get downvoted to hell. HELLO YES PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES ALSO USE THE INTERNET

This isn’t technology. It’s politics. Sensationalist headlines

Which nation?

Half of Cloudflare’s value proposition is the network that provides these services. It’s well connected and will have good performance in most places around the world. The software on top is the “easy” part. I’m glad to see other options though. Nice work

Not everything is about the USofA. There are literally hundreds of other countries in the world. This is an article about Korea written by a British media outlet. Please

If you still think this after reading even the title then you’re missing the point. The whole point is that there is no (privacy|anonymity)

An open standard is only as good as the implementations it has. I wonder if any of the other popular terminal emulators will implement this

their CDN is not a time service

No but time.cloudflare.com is. If I recall correctly, the server clocks are synchronised with the same time service. (Source: I work at Cloudflare)

*install

You should specify which government

The amount of comments referencing the United States of America here is just sad. This is an article about the EU! Contrary to popular belief, there are other countries in the world. It’s tiring living in a US-centric world 😮‍💨

At this point, if it’s fast, well supported and affordable, I’ll buy it. I don’t care who makes it so long as it’s not nvidia

It will only try IPv6 if your computer has an address. Now the question is: if your network doesn’t support it, then why do you have an address?

Wtf is that date format

These screens are blindingly bright. Flashing adverts made it genuinely painful to stand and look in that direction. I’m glad they saw senses (over money)
