Not OP, but check out LineageOS without Play Services.

It's closed source software - what makes anyone think it isn't already implemented?

What is this? Who are these people and why does anyone care about their conversation? Wow, downvotes for asking a legitimate question about a pointless, contextless discussion between randos. What a lovely and welcoming community you have h

This is today's "news" and "journalism" - take something reasonable and distill it to hyperbole in 140 characters or less. Doesn't matter if it's true or false, so long as it evokes an emotional reaction a

Same here - inaccessible and broken site. Tor is blocked completely from accessing it. Man, I hate the modern web so much. Just put text and pictures in an HTML file and stop this insanity already.

Pretty much the only reason for me is security. I use Chrome when I need to access email, banking or other sensitive site, and I don't trust Firefox sandboxing or other security features nearly as much as Google.

Sincere question: why would someone trust a closed source OS for their router?

PC Engines with OpenBSD or Debian Linux. 100% open source hardware, firmware and software, not this closed-source "RouterOS" which is probably bugged.

Do you honestly believe this evidence of mass extinction? Or perhaps this MIT geophysicist is a human like the rest of us, trying to make a name for himself, secure grants in academia, make social connections, and maybe ... just maybe bei

What's hilarious about this pathetic, whiny monologue is that the author most likely will continue using Apple products after all of this. Some people just never learn. Honestly, seeing people so dependent on an abusive for-profit corp

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

Not surprising, given Tor's own design spec states it cannot defend against an adversary with global network surveillance capabilities. Tor is good for two things: obscuring traffic destinations from your ISP, and obscuring source IP f

Seeing as how most misinformation is actually coming from centralized "journalism" sources these days, I'd say this is hardly a concern.

We talking about the same Apple that is accused of child labor and other human rights abuses?

When you're in love, you don't need to ask yourself the question, "am I in love?" - you just know intuitively. And if you work in tech right now, you can absolutely afford to change jobs until you're doing the one y

"Alternative" voices have been saying this about Vitamin D3 since the start of this whole mess. Is it really a surprise that most people living outside of our biological niche (warm, near-equator climates) lack this fundamental mi

The whole point of incorporating is to limit personal liability. This vengeful "put CEOs in jail" attitude flies in the face of law and even common sense, and doesn't address the root of the problem, which is tech-illiteracy

It's still served by the site and I doubt most are interested or capable in auditing software to perform routine online tasks.

Unless such signs carry force of law where you live (I don't know of any such jurisdiction), always record conversations that take place in public settings.

Finally someone who gets it. Credit monitoring/reporting services are a straight up fraudulent scam to get more of your personal information. I feel sorry for the suckers who actually pay for such things.

Because this was never about any virus, it's about social control and covering up for political failures of the last several decades.

Sounds like you were tricked into "signing in to Chrome". Look for "Allow Chrome sign-in. By turning this off, you can sign in to Google sites like Gmail without signing in to Chrome" in chrome://settings/

It's a ridiculous name because it's a ridiculous company. "Private" search engine, hosted on US-based Microsoft Azure servers? Give me a break, what a complete joke.

> The investigator’s work and publication costs are funded by an institutional start-up fund. That's why. New "research" is mostly paid-for industry propaganda, and you've found a piece of it.
