But this is not the only aspect of Google’s autocratization; Apps who’s developers have enabled the Google Play Integrity APIs will not run on custom roms.

So you can’t use banking apps, or you mean like you cant even use F-Droid FOSS apps at all?

Purism is sketchy btw:

(Louis Rossman videos explaining how a customer was denied a refund for a “pre-order” and then they tried to coerce Louis to take down the video.)

Edit: typo

For contacts I kinda get it.

You could have eye conditions that make you unsuitable to use contacts.

For glasses, its absolute bullshit.

An “incorrect” lens placed on the exterior of your face will not harm you (other than making you a bit dizzy).

You can just go online and buy them, they don’t care about “expired” prescriptions, they only need the numbers.

The solution is UBI

The problem isnt “robots replacing humans”

The problem is: WHERE THE FUCK IS OUR UBI?

Bro that is so gonna get HitchBot’ed

a photo was tweeted, showing that the robot had been stripped “beyond repair” and decapitated in Philadelphia. The robot was located by some people following its progress on its website. The head was never found.

Also, like… if you wanna replace human workers, fine, just give us the UBI.

Otherwise, riots would be justified.

Linux ISOs.

I mean, that’s is the primary use of torrents, right? Right? I mean, who would download a car. Surely nobody would do that… 🤭

Looks like an AI’s failed attempt to generate an image of a house lol

They’ll reverse the decision when those teens start saying “Stop Genocide” on social media.

100% guaranteed.

Nice try, glowie

I wouldn’t use that term, it has a… problematic history:

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/glowie

Etymology

From glow +‎ -ie. Originated by Terry Davis, who stated in a 2017 video that “CIA [N-Slur] glow in the dark”, implying that they are conspicuous. The term “glowie” would become popular on the 4chan /pol/ board around 2019.

That’s for next week’s episode when I have to go out in the field to do the investigation.

(Investigating the donut shop near the crime scene, that is 🍩)

In the c/Privacy community, people say e/OS isn’t as secure as Graphene OS. Although e/OS has better privacy compared to googled android, but apparantly worse security (late security patches).

Looks like somebody doesn’t understand sarcasm

Oh well… 🤷‍♂️

Collect at your local FBI office, of course.

Don’t worry its very safe, there are some very skilled agents right at the lobby to protect the the money… from the bad guys of course. All you have to do is just walk to the receptionist and ask for it. Looking forward to meeting you! 😉

Idk how to calculate that stuff, I just use the bureau’s Black Card and write it off as required expenses. What do I need GTA V for FBI work? Its not a Video Game, its a field operation simulator.

(But seriously tho: I’ve never paid for a movie ticket so I’m just randomly googling and doing a rough estimate)

I’m glad these exists, but remember that these only work as long as device manufacturers don’t lock the bootloaders.

Your country’s government could pass a law that requires bootloaders to be locked for “national security” reasons, and there’d probably not be much resistance since most people don’t even use custom roms. (Looking at you, USA and the autocratization)
