@spiritedaway Yep — if you want it to. On initial install you choose the level of integration you want microG to support, as detailed here: https://calyxos.org/docs/guide/microg/

@spiritedaway @Bondrewd It depends on what you mean by 'modified non standard' and 'stock Android', but banking apps will generally work on a number of custom Android distributions providing they aren't rooted.

All of my (UK-based) banking apps work on Calyx, for example.

@Ilovethebomb @cis2butene I dunno, the Muscovites have had some success holding off sea drones elsewhere with netting and booms and the like, and the bridge is a far stretch for even Ukraine's longest range missiles.

This is why we should gift them the Type 23s and the HMS Triumph.

@Lojcs Microsoft does exactly that. They licence a number of proprietary codecs for inclusion in Windows for the convenience of users.

Running under Wine, some alternative decoders can be used, but many proprietary codecs don't have freely-available decoders available. Under Proton, many free decoders can be used like Wine, but some prohibit commercial use or otherwise can't be implemented in Proton via Valve. GE-Proton manages the best of both worlds.

@HoukaiAmplifier99 I don't remember my source, and I can't find anything searching around. I either made it up or it was an unsubstantiated reddit comment that stuck in my brain :)

For real instances of this problem though, look at Glorious Eggroll if you haven't already. Contains a number of additional video codecs Valve can't yet support directly.

@HoukaiAmplifier99 I might have made this up, but I think I recall reading that Valve routinely licences old and weird codecs so that they can build support in Proton for some of these fringe cases.

The only time I can remember seeing it recently was in an old game off GOG called Conquest: Frontier Wars. Like others, it just showed a coloured pattern, but with that game it couldn't recover from not being able to play and would crash after.

@HoukaiAmplifier99 I see it rarely nowadays, but yes, proprietary or old/rare codecs are the heart of it.

@addie @Dirk I think you're spot on. SystemD timers are mildly more inconvenient to create than cron jobs, but massively more convenient to maintain and work with for real.

@luthis @Nacktmull I don't even check before buying anymore. Everything runs fine, and I can't remember the last time I bought something that didn't work out of the box.

@MigratingtoLemmy @poVoq exactly what a bot would say 🤔

@railsdev @innercitadel Do you not write your web apps in assembler..?

@linux_user_6967 @Goun Telegram's end-to-end encryption isn't enabled by default. You have to specifically choose to start an encrypted chat. Assuming you trust MTProto though, there's no indication they're otherwise implemented poorly.
