You are talking about phones made by Google. I am talking about ALL the phones using Android and how difficult or sometimes impossible it is to use anything but Android. I am talking about (oranges) a monopoly on phone operating systems. And you are saying what great (apples) phones Google produces.
Unlock so you can use whatever phone service provider you want but Google controls the Android operating system. If you don’t want Android on your phone and would rather use Linux or another FOSS operating system, it’s very difficult, because Google doesn’t give up control of the drivers for a lot of phones. If you just want to remove Google apps from a phone that comes with Android, you have to jailbreak it which voids the warranty and jailbreaking can’t be done to every phone.
At the end of his first term, Trump was selling pardons for $1,000,000. I wonder how much money he charges for a pardon now.
How about not letting Google have exclusive rights to the drivers for all the phone hardware? I would like to be able to install Linux on any phone I buy. I don’t want Google monopolizing phone operating systems. #FOSS #Linux #FuckGoogle #Monopoly #deGoogle
BRICS will take over, which will benefit Russia and China. Putin is getting his money’s worth out of pimping Trump.
The overabundance doesn’t just vanish. When the poor have less, the wealthy have more. There may be more homeless people fighting over food but the billionaires will be able to get a fleet of yachts.
While I agree that arson is wrong and should be illegal, it wasn’t a federal crime last time I checked. This should be handled by the state attorney general in the state where it happened.
A reminder to people who call this an act of violence, it isn’t. Violence can only be committed against living things. This is arson which is a type of vandalism. If there are people or animals inside, then it’s violence. If only property is damaged it’s vandalism or sabotage, depending on the purpose of the damage.
How do we know it was ICE? It could have been some OTHER human traffickers. If they didn’t have an arrest warrant signed by a judge, it was a kidnapping.
I can’t shell out the money for another phone but I deleted my google account and replaced all the Google apps on my phone with FOSS apps. I don’t have root access on my phone so I can’t actually get rid of all of the Google apps. Best I can do until I need to replace my phone. Fortunately I never purchased anything from Google.
There are these things called social security numbers. The first three digits of that number indicate what state you were born in and there are different three-number prefixes for resident aliens and naturalized citizens. If your social security number starts with 050-134, you were born in New York. If your SSN starts with 362-386, you were born in Michigan. SSN beginning with 729-733 are for naturalized citizens and applicants for citizenship.
Since he voted for Trump, it’s reasonable to assume he is illiterate. What is an illiterate Nazi going to do in Peru? He can’t read English so he probably doesn’t read or speak Spanish.
Just being in a chat group on Signal where classified information is being shared and not reporting it is a crime if you have a security clearance. I used to have a security clearance. Classified information cannot be discussed outside of a secure compartmentalized information facility or SCIF for short. Classified information cannot be stored on your personal phone. You can’t take hand written notes about what was discussed inside the SCIF, outside of the SCIF. Digital communications of classified material can only take place on a secure government network; SIPR network for Secret information, JWICS and NSA Net for Top-Secret information. Those networks work exactly like the common internet everyone uses, which is called the the NIPR network, but only people with approved accounts and a security clearance can sign into SIPR, JWICS and NSA Net and the computers that can access the networks are inside a SCIF. Everyone who was in that Signal group and had a security clearance should be looking at a long prison sentence for not reporting the leak.
This is exactly what the US government tried to put Julian Assange in prison for. A journalist publishing classified information that was leaked to him.
Chealsea manning when she got out of prison. Bradly Manning when he committed the crime.
The classified plans aren’t allowed out of the SCIF and the phone isn’t allowed in the SCIF. Anything you learn in the SCIF cannot be stored, shared, or spoken about outside of a SCIF especially on electronic media. If anyone in the military did this, like lets say Bradly Manning, and shared it with a journalist, like say Julian Assange, they would end up in prison for a while.
Getting blackout drunk and sending texts isn’t uncommon for raging alcoholics. Source: I used to be an alcoholic (sober for 6 years)
“To fool a person is easy; you just need to overcome their intelligence. To convince a person they have been fooled is difficult; you have to overcome their pride.” I forget where I read that.
Do you think Trump, Musk and their oligarch insider friends maybe, just maybe, opened short positions on a bunch of stock ahead of the new tariff announcement?
