it’s got an open source base layer; but it’s got enough closed source layers on top of it to make the open source part alone useless for today’s mobile environment.
nevertheless, the things like graphene, lineage, postmarket, etc. are efforts to make that base layer effective and they will soon be your only options if you want to use android without having to provide your gov’t issue ID so that your actions can be tracked for “terrorism”
what AOC said does NOT mean she’ll vote to give them money.
correct, she only voted to give them weapons.
i got sick of commiserating so i cut off centralized media from my life and my internet experience got reset back to 1995; it’s kind of rediscovering what the internet is like all over again.
yeah, but in my defense: i was a liberal at the time and we were/are notorious for not reading beyond the headline. lol
the version of privacy expressed here is geared towards well resourced actors like state governments who have inexhaustible armies of experts; which is arguably the highest gold standard when it comes to privacy.
if you understand that you’re hopelessly outmatched by the american or isreali governments no matter what you do, then privacy takes on a more practical meaning. as in, you understand that you’re millions of times more likely to have your privacy violated by actors like advertisers or local police and this where there’s room for debate between graphene and lineage and i get that from de-googleing communities like this one
i had to learn this the hard way when i got suckered in by their “dont be evil” motto.
and then later pretend to impeach him. lol
fyi: this community is dominated by graphene enthusiasts so ymmv here.
PUH-LEEZE do this!!!
i’m surprised that they’ve worked so well so far.
exclusions apply: i’ve been building my own router out of second hand parts for the last 15 years and the pickin’s are very slim rn.
we should have a meme of this and share it with everybody so we can respond w the meme each time. lol
If nothing else, these are obvious community building and networking opportunities. The US is starved of these opportunities …
americans are indeed starved, but it’s not an accident we find ourselves in this condition.
it’s also true that these could serve a networking oppurtunity, but given american’s collectivism-phobia, it’s going to literally take generations using things like the no kings to make a dent.
you’re not wrong, like most arent, you’re just missing some blanks and most of us here can see some of them like i just did.
we’ll all be eating war; when those soldiers die, it’s going to make the 36% who still approve of trump and the 44% who support the war double down and it’ll turn into vietnam on steroids when that happens.
same and watching people espouse this view, but then go back to unwittingly doing what the gov’t wants them to do adds an extra layer that i don’t know how to describe.
age doesn’t matter, so long as they can point a gun and pull the trigger on behalf of the epstein class
their answer is the same: nothing
only the diet-reddit lemmy instances might do that; but i would like to believe that not even they are that red pilled.
maybe the insider trading will makes it clearer which rich assholes to eat when things get bad enough in the next great depression. lol
the us government surely did; but americans do not and that’s what the article is saying.
