First of all: Sorry to hear that, this sucks!

Regarding your digital information: I'd suggest you to get a new email and gradually replace the old one in your accounts to avoid spam. Even though they claim your password wasn't stolen, I'd highly suggest you to change your passwords anyway, just in case. Also, as they say, be very careful about potential phishing attacks.

As for your personal information such as your address: I'm afraid there's not much you can do. I'd argue, however, that it's not as valuable to potential hackers. One potential scam involving stolen addresses is sending purchases made with a stolen credit card to your address and asking you to forward it. Don't accept deliveries you didn't expect for this reason (depending on your local law it may lead to criminal charges against you, even though you're still technically the victim of a scam).

No Forking: You may not create, maintain, or distribute a forked version of the software. Lol ๐Ÿ’€

It Feels Almost Like Android... But It Isn't

So what is it?

Lmao, the part about the control center feeling like from a bootleg phone made my day. I felt like something was off the whole time but couldn't tell what was bothering me

Yeah and I can't get my head around why it won't be available here in the EU. This is so fucking stupid! Like how is the DMA or any other legislation supposed to prevent them from implementing iPhone mirroring? They literally offer every other continuity-related feature over here. This is just Apple being upset they're actually being regulated in the EU.

I'd return a non-zero value so they know it's their fault ^^

In my personal opinion: Yes. Wine is great and all, but in the end it's an emulation layer that - in the worst case - requires a lot of tweaking. I personally wouldn't want to spend that time so a VM sounds like a good option. But again, depending on the context (e.g. limited hardware resources or the amount of time available) you might be totally fine with Wine.

Shit gets weird when the guy in 418 opens and claims to be a tea pot...

I'm able to speak German (native speaker) and English (fluent).


Also, as a German speaker, I'd like to correct the question in the post:

Formal would be "Welche Sprachen sprechen Sie?".

More fitting for a casual environment (such as Lemmy) would be "Welche Sprachen sprecht Ihr?" though :)

This is, because in German there are formal and informal ways of addressing people, both with their distinctive pronouns. Usually, when talking to people you don't know personally, you'll address them formally and then, when offered to, switch to the informal style once you know them. Online or among the younger generation it is much more common to just use the informal case though.

Now I get your point. Technically, I think it could be possible to only include the changes in Chrome. It would make sense for Google to push the changes all the way down to Chromium, though, as this would eliminate ad blockers on many competing browsers as well. Judging based on the past I would say this is what's gonna happen
