Yes and not just that but we also need things like bank apps supporting it and not blocking everything for 'security reasons' like they do with alternative Android roms.

> Android exits, it's relatively open. I can download an APK and easily install it on my device (unless this changed since I last did this). It didn't yet but it will change next year. All APKs will have to be signed by Google

by wkat4242 1y ago
Yes and next year they're going to sign APKs even outside the app store so it's going to be almost the same situation as for Apple in the EU

Google is going to be the exact same from next year (approving sideloaded apps) so there is simply no choice anymore.

The one time I had leeches they just popped off on their own. They were huge so they were probably full. My white T shirt had turned into a red one... Because of the anticoagulant. Not a fan of them but where I live now they don't exis

Yeah they'd better have some kind of deorbit engine. A starlink is only around for 10 years or so.

Oh maybe you haven't seen the news, sorry. The capitol storming and freeing all that participated. Having major cities being taken over by the army. Stifling free press. You know all that good old dictatorship playbook stuff.

We do make staples. The ones I have here are made in Europe. We don't buy such things from the US (though from China, maybe). I think a lot of it is just not very visible because it's mainly for internal market use. In fact I&#x27

Yeah me too. We have to stand up to the bully or it's only getting worse. It's bad enough that von der leyen basically gave away a free trillion for "not getting the worst tariffs imposed on us".

On the other hand, it's not really up to the bank. It's my money, not theirs. I really wish I wouldn't need to have my money managed by some corporate drones in suits but it's really hard these days to do without a bank

Except Trump is just as authoritarian as China so what difference does it make who they adore?

Well I think flat earthism is less crazy. Flat earthers believe in a physical phenomenon, they just don't have the ability to verify their hypothesis in person. This is really how science works. Where they do wrong is ignoring evidence

If it's only 2% kagi could easily obey the sanctions too though and just stop doing business with Russia like everyone else. And no nobody's perfect but the sanctions are a means of policy pressure. It's not so much about fee

Osmand is great but it has a bit of a learning curve. It's much more powerful than Google maps though so all these features need a bit of navigating. It probably should have a simple mode for most users.

And it doesn't let Google snoop on your every transaction. I don't understand how so many people are ok with this. Unfortunately every EU bank card uses Mastercard or visa so the Americans still get to snoop. Time for that to be c

Hmm maybe I am a sociopath then. One thing though is that I do respect other people a lot. I just won't bend my identity to fit in. If we don't gel I don't fight them but I'll just leave. But yeah if that makes me a soci

Mexico isn't the worst though. From other Latin American countries it's a lot worse. I heard Mexico even has a deal with the US that they refuse entry to other latam visitors that they deem suspicious to avoid them going to the US

Well what I mean is it doesn't matter if you piss off your tribe these days because you can just find another one that aligns better with you instead. No need to fake it to fit in. This is what's so great about today's global

100% this. Having a party in between is a real PITA that one time you need to change something in a hurry.

It might not be woke but it's just as censored as OpenAI. OpenAI is "Don't say boobs, some conservative investor might take offence!" Grok is: "Don't say gay, but Hitler is okay" Both are pretty crap in da

The current administration which benefits only billionaires which make up a tiny fraction of the population proves that yes people aren't capable of voting for their interests.

That would be a big change considering things appear to be getting worse not better: https://securityboulevard.com/2025/08/great-firewall-china-w... Would be great for the Chinese if true though.

Who cares about the tribe? I have no issue saying I think religion is BS. I don't care if I lose friends over that tbh. I just don't normally do so because a) it won't change their mind and b) I don't care what they beli

It's not decentralised. They also blocked a bunch of trans people criticising JK Rowling. They couldn't do that if it were truly decentralised. IMO it's got all the bad things about centralisation and the bad things about dec

Conservative is more about their outlook on society right? They appear to be trying to get back to the Victorian age of morality especially sexually. Better put those hands above the blanket! Ps: ok those Victorian chastity belts are pretty

Yes the Germans are really strict with their nationality. One thing I cannot fathom is how the Germans kept honouring the citizenship given to SS collaborators from other countries after the war. In Holland we've had some war criminals
