Misleading title. Post makes it sound like all data is requires. Low effort.

Reminds me of my Samsung phones. I got a new battery for my Galaxy S5 and one for my S22. One from around 2015, and the other released in 2022. You can take the back cover off the S5s and replace the battery in a few seconds. By 2022 they disabled serviceability to the point that removing and replacing the back cover alone took an hour to do, just so people will buy another rather than use a heat gun and learn about proper adhesive removal and reapplication. They just made it a monumental pain in the ass so they could sell more phones.

Google is evil and hopeless. We all got bamboozled by the big G.

YouTube has been enshittified so badly it’s barely usable these days.

Privacy fatigue is real. It’s best to have a threat model before implementing countermeasures. I’m absolutely worn out from it, and I still might suck. Additionally, nextDNS, which is one if my privacy tools, seems to have almost forwarded to Googlehosted.com, which it blocked due to my rules, but still. How exhausting!

So how do you feel about e/OS ecosystem? I think I will delete MicroG, and then maybe do that for every update, but other than that it is pretty cool. I still might download Fdroid but too afraid to install more things yet.

That is literally what made me vote. But they all suck for sure, other than a few.

Bu, bu, bu, but states rights!

Back then there wasn’t just three rich tech bro losers that owned the means of all the labor.

At this point there is no hope of us being well off enough to excessively consume, save, invest, and definitely not to grow money. The rich folks want a huge chunk of the population dead. Our future is slavery unless we overcome this, and most people I know are extremely unaware of the issues.

That and many jobs will be automated. The next five years will be brutal. The sudden rise of surveillance is one way they attempt to control the fallout as the current working units (us) are decommissioned.

That’s absolutely unfeasible and unacceptable. Everyone gets $30K a year over 18. It’s not like the money is not there. We have it. There are just too many parasitic billionaires hoarding it and billionaires should not exist.

Probably full of propaganda. Why would any president care?

I once pirated my own publication (I lost the original and it was behind paywall). This world is so fucked in every way.

Can we start slowly boycotting businesses that leverage Google resources? Like, maybe start with one industry, and then hit them hard. “Like hey Steam, my domain filter shows all the Google queries I get from your site. Knock it off or we’ll use the competitor!”

Seriously, the Google queries from using Steam are pissing me off for real.

Are the laptops an issue too?

I wish there were both. Like yes you can have relief but you have to fill out the “Trump Tariff Disaster and Farmer Welfare Application”. Like yeah, we’ll help as long as you recognize your own contribution to the mess and realize that welfare often goes to people who work when billionaires steal from them.

Wait until many file bankruptcy, then save face with a welfare bailout.

They deserve it, but it’s still not in our best interest for them to lose assets if they just empower the fascist.

Goddamn. How disgusting does every single government need to be, and why in the absolute fuck are people still bringing children to this world when “stop having kids” is the only viable solution?

If he died in 2018, and she is now 25, since they had a kid when she was 18, it means someone forced a teenager to marry probably before 18 and have sex with an adult. What a disgusting culture!
