Final ruling in Epic v. Google, ordering Google to effectively open up the Google Play app store to competition, is some awesome news.

Google will have to distribute rival third-party app stores within Google Play, and it must give rival third-party app stores access to the full catalog of Google Play apps, unless developers opt out individually.

It also forbids Google from requiring the use of Google Pay on apps shipped through their store, freeing devs to offer other payment APIs to go around the 30% fees from Google.

This is a separate judgement from the DOJ vs Google that is considering a breakup of Google, forcing it to sell Android, Chrome and some other units.

Today a friend asked me what could she do to find out if someone was accessing her laptop on remote without her noticing.

I asked her, Do you require remote connection at all? Do you ever use it?

She answered, not needed, never use it.

So I recommended her to configure her Windows firewall to block incoming RDP connections by default by creating a new inbound rule and blocking the TCP port 3389, no white listed IPs neither, all blocked by default.

She did it, but she still feels uneasy about hackers getting into her PC on remote... A recent really bad experience I suppose...

She asked me if there was not a tool that will monitor network activity and let her know if there was an attempted intrusion, I told her that is what the firewall is for and it does a good job, problem is that people click and download all kind of s#%& without verifying or caring much, getting the software that hack them right in their laptops themselves. Oh, and I suggested she moved to Linux (she didn't like that)

She was saying, I want a notification pop when an intrusion attempt is detected...

For a noob like her, What other recommendations or simple tools (FOSS better) do you guys think she could use to feel safer? You guys think my recommendation is enough?

Can I #asknostr does anyone here look at alternative ecosystems at all? Or are most people here #btc puritans?

I think there are some interesting side projects. Some are based on the idea that most of them are based on the idea that #bitcoin is now out of reach for ordinary people and they want to go back to #mining.

I think these are the most interesting. #pinetwork is one example. They're more likely to succeed in the developing world, but it's easy to forget the developing world is the #future.

Router Recommendations please! The default Starlink one is very limiting in what it can do. Please shill me your recommendations. #asknostr

Using Amber with Amethyst on Android. Works great! Are there any other apps that work well with Amber for signing? #asknostr

I agree it's not something most Bitcoiners want to discuss because it leads to questioning the “don't trust, verify” ethos. But I think taking that mantra too literally has always been problematic because most people will never verify all of the hardware, firmware, cryptography, and source code they use for Bitcoin.

But Bitcoin has always allowed something still very powerful, if not as catchy as a slogan: “Choose who you trust.”

That's what we're doing with cashu.
