It's disappointing to experience this issue with Samsung services on my S23: the Store doesn't display the updates it just alerted me to, and the spinner that never ends indicates a possible delay or congestion. Remarkable, F-Droid, a repository sustained by volunteer efforts and donations, works better than this... contraption from the almighty Samsung. If Samsung is not willing to actually invest in their own software and infrastructure, please, just dump everything on Play Store and be gone with it!

With this whole CrowdStrike shitshow with Windows, I wonder how many people are dying because of this. After all, it isn't just airports and banks and such, but there's also hospitals and emergency dispatch services that went down. This piece of software, intended to bring security to companies, inadvertently caused greater financial and material harm to customers WAAAAAAY beyond any external attacks typically inflict. Be aware giving kernel-level access to pseudo-security garbage sold to clueless IT managers. That's the lesson here. #linux #opensource
