5·1 month agoJust like, pre-installed Edge and Onedrive, completely opt in and one day a windows update (automatically) reboots your pc and you just got opted in.
Had the same idea, but it won’t work:
- There’s a 15 min edit window from the time message was sent.
- Edited message tag is visible
On the flip side, they can read your group chat messages. Many(me included) will prefer that it isn’t a possibility.

The bar shows dates?
People on metered connection and low connectivity areas are probably going to more inconvenienced by this force update banner. Unable to use your message app because you forgot to update and now cannot connect to the internet.
The badge is to help people identify official apps.
I think it’s not about that development but whom the data is being sent to, the state or some third party that provides same services.
Like a National Emergency Broadcast app or app for vehicle and driver’s license registration service, that need sensitive info like your Govt ID and other details.
Firefox flatpak version had a lot issues. It has improved a lot, still a long way to go.
I have exclusively used Firefox flatpak for the last year and updates has been quite smooth. Never had my session closed automatically(to my memory) due to an update, usually waits for me close the session and when I reopen its updated.
My experience is limited to Ubuntu.
I never had this issue. What were you using deb, rpm, flatpak or snap version?
Are there any other options?
A persistent banner asking to update at the bottom of the search bar is a good idea. Barring access to an essential app under any condition is just bad UX.
Google Play’s simultaneous downloads do not apply to application updates, which would be more useful as updating is more common than fresh installs.
I agree with the author, updates happening in parallel would help with the 3mb update to Gmail holding up 30-40 mb update on another app problem.

This is what i fear. How much curation and monitoring will be done on the ads, or this will be another vector for malicious application
Don’t just downvote, report this account too.
I don’t want AI feature, subscription lock sounds good to me.
Dude took data mining to the next level,directly from the source.
emphasis added by me From the article:
The man was investigated after an airline “reported concerns about a suspicious Wi-Fi network identified by its employees during a domestic flight.”
It’s alleged the accused’s collection of kit was used to create Wi-Fi hotspots with SSIDs confusingly similar to those airlines operate for in-flight access to the internet or streamed entertainment. Airport Wi-Fi was also targeted, and the AFP also found evidence of similar activities “at locations linked to the man’s previous employment.”
Wherever the accused’s rig ran, when users logged in to the network, they were asked to provide credentials. The AFP alleges that details such as email addresses and passwords were saved to the suspect’s devices.
The charges laid against the man concern unauthorized access to devices and dishonest dealings. None of the charges laid suggest the accused used the data he allegedly accessed.
However three charges of “possession or control of data with the intent to commit a serious offence” suggest the alleged perp was alive to the possibilities of using the data for nefarious purposes.
