WTF

The term you’re looking for is government-subsidized fossil fuels.

In Europe, Apple has been forced to allow sideloading. So you could have an iPhone without any Google apps on it, and sideload stuff like that. In the US, not so much.

As an aside, I use an iPhone without any Google apps, which is technically “degoogled”. Doesn’t stop people in this community from claiming I fail their purity tests though.

The population simultaneously needs and resents the warlocks

I think your whole post supported my point….

Well pick it back up and take it with you, because this issue has nothing to do with privacy. All major vendors take advantage of evil shit to produce their goods.

Agreed; unfortunately, this will always happen as long as money is allowed in politics.

As predicted, here come all the purity tests.

I know there’s no way to definitively prove it, but in my mind Apple is the safer alternative vs. anything Google. I know you can do custom roms and all that, but let’s face it: It’s a huge pain in the ass. I know, I know, “It’s not really”… I beg to differ. I went through my purity phase with degoogled roms and all that. Due to driver inconsistencies, updates breaking things (even the phone part), and the inability to use a lot of “normal” apps, I gave up and went with an iPhone. Apple’s business model is to sell you the thing at a higher price, thus reducing the incentive to sell your data or enshittify. Yes, that will degrade over time and I’ll reach a threshold at which I’ll reevaluate my options. Given the two major choices, I choose the less terrible ecosystem of the two.

I refuse to have any Google or Meta products on my iPhone. I know that makes me lame here, but we should also understand that any normie would never go to all the trouble of OS tinkering. The are a lot more people who want to degoogle vs. the people who understand how to do rom flashing. Criticizing a person’s degoogle effort as “not good enough” does nothing but drive people directly into the arms of the very evil we wish to diminish. This is a community to banish Google, not everything backed by a for-profit corporation.

As in, a dumb piece of shit is posting dumb shit.

A pirated piracy thread, 🤌💋

Orion on MacOS is really good. Great protection and defaults, plus extensions from Firefox and Chrome work.

Another million dollar donation to trump?

I think that’s viewing it from the current lens. At the time, the big promise was that you could pay for things without involving all of those pesky big companies. Naive, yes, but the idea of a secure financial transaction is similar in nature to the current tap/wallet methods. But yes, it was commandeered by crooks almost immediately.

Cryptocurrency was supposed to solve this problem; instead we ended up with endless grifting and memecoins designed to leave ignorant rubes holding the bag.

Apple has decided to eliminate the crease at all costs, regardless of price

So, for the price of a nice iPhone and a nice iPad, I could have… a smaller phone and a smaller iPad.

He has no scars or anything we can see. And he does appear to see out of the eye, otherwise he would have trouble judging distance and such. But he is perfectly graceful jumping up on things and playing. At this point, we will just go with it as he is a very happy cat and companion.
