Facebook tried to make me take a video of myself moving my head around making different facial expressions to prove I was a person. I was like… not even my bank requires that. This was after making a comment that was Trump-negging. So I cancelled it.

I stand with your 14 year old. Same thing happened to me (well, very similar, my message was more in that clot has just one job category).

Elon…and Vance… and pretty much the entire Trump cabinet… come on, we would line up and pay for the pleasure.

Or at least a back door some hacker can drive a semi-truck through. All the screen will show is I HAZ ALL YUR HAMBERDERS

He spoke that into his phone’s microphone. His fingers are too important and valuable to do anything but wipe his own ass.

i am very stupid when it comes to phones… how can I wipe android and install graphenous. I will buy a new chip/SIM for my last phone to test/see how it works. Reveal your magic please. I just want a basic phone (text, call, maybe even a map/weather app and like a note app). I can use cash money or bank cards for paying for stuff- don’t need an app/service for that, perfectly capable as an adult to manage paying for shit without an electronic device.

I have used Motorola for the last 5 years or so. They had superior battery life compared to the others and were inexpensive. I bought my last one for like 40 bucks on clearance. I won’t spend more than 100 bucks plus tax on a phone anymore. I use minimal apps, don’t take lots of pictures with it, mostly text and make phone calls on it. I don’t keep social media apps on it nor restaurant apps. I mostly use the Maps, the Notes, and the browser applications. I don’t like the android/google calendar interface but will use reminders/tasks. I also use book/reading/podcast apps (Librivox, Podbean, Kindle, and another one…). I had overly invested in Kindle years ago unfortunately. I don’t really watch video on the phone as it is too small, but have YT music on it. I could use advice for alternatives that are better.

Well, you need to understand, Palantir needs a library for their facial recognition software. What if those young people refused to take advantage of the smartphone biometrics? Don’t they know it is for their security??? /s

Monopolies are bad for everyone except their CEO and stockholders.

I have been permanently banned from Reddit for wishing for a natural disease process to occur in a certain individual. If only I were that powerful of a manifestor our world would be a better place.

Do you think a Linux phone would have the same weaknesses?

You can also use an old style camera that uses film or a polaroid. Take ziplocs or black bags to put in and hide like a cache bag.

also, tape recorders. And if you travel out of the country… buy a burner flip phone to use.

Yes, and printed maps still work. Keeping an address/phone book still works (so do sharpies on your arm).

yeah, you have to analog.

Noem is so dumb she could not figure out how to train a dog and she felt her best idea was to shoot it in the head. These are not smart people.

Remember that tv series “Person of Interest?”… we need someone to be that guy and his team.

If you are not specifically targeted d/t your status… start first with phone free Fridays. You will feel at first some discomfort… but after that initial feeling… you will start to feel free. Make sure your family has your work number. Turn off the phone on the weekend and put it in something like a lead lined or metal mesh sack… what they used to call a Faraday Cage/Bag.

Yes, I am Fucking Pissed at my energy bills for the last 6 months. Like WTH. It is like $500 a month vs what was $300 max. I told my husband… it is time to start investing in solar generators. We are getting screwed for some stupid tech boy.

When Trump is gone, we need to Nuremburg and aggressively FTC those assholes. And raise their taxes to 90%. GTFO of here.
