  • As someone who’s always been side loading apps and doing custom configs, it’s just so much harder compared to what it used to be. So many hidden settings. So many menus you have to go through in the right order. So many reverts that happen each update.

    You say it’s in the name of security, but I don’t see it. Something is fundamentally broken here, if Google really believes this is the best path forward

    Edit: and btw, I work in big tech too. I know how this update came to be. Some L6 looking for his packet decided to “decrease infected devices by 10%” by adding this friction, and everyone nodded along since the negative impact isn’t measurable.



  • So I read through this, and unfortunately there’s nothing concrete. Every error has been corrected, and the errors that remain are opinion pieces which can’t be listed as a source on Wikipedia. Due to WP:RECENT, this means no place where Wikipedia refers to the New York Times as a source will be asserting incorrect information.

    This probably isn’t the response you want, but that’s the truth about their reporting.

    Edit: If you still want to try and bring it up, this is what I had written in my draft:

    The following article has been brought to my attention: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13537121.2024.2394292#abstract
    
    While the issues raised in this paper tend to focus on bias, and factual errors were later corrected in many cases (which should be suffice due to WP:RECENT), the section of "Misquoting Israeli leaders" refers to multiple errors in reporting from the New York Times that remain uncorrected.

    (This is before I noticed the uncorrected parts are Opinion pieces, so I stopped)

    You can post it here, but you will probably be shut down for the same reasons I mentioned above: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard
