Do you think sucking dick is a bad thing?

Wire has calling voice and video calling.

This article is three years old.

It looks better on him.

Not exactly, no. For instance, I don't use the Google Play store (i use Aurora Store instead), but I have gotten Android Auto working on my phone. What Google features you'll be able to get working also depend on the device and android version.

I guess it depends on if they are actually designing any of their own hardware. I was assuming they were, but now that you mention it, yeah why would they.

If GrapheneOS doesn't look like it will meet your needs, LineageOS w/microG may be best for you.

The main issue is that the learning curve is higher to get it to a state that's a balance between security and privacy. You have to learn how to install it for your device, set up root with Magisk or the like, install modules that allow your device to pass/bypass google's SafetyNet Device Assestation, install the module to avoid connecting to google via GPS, set up AdAway, AFWall, Blocker, LSPosed if needed, and get android auto set up if needed. That's not even including all the device-specific tweaks you'll end up needing/wanting, or how to manage updates. It's a lot of work, but in the end you get a phone that acts like a computer you control instead of an "appliance" that works against you.

So Proton ditched Mastodon but is still on Twitter, aka the Nazi cesspool, and Reddit. Both US propaganda platforms with heavy censorship.

Bad, bad move.

I have been defending Andy Yen's idiotic comments because he's not American and doesn't understand the hyper-reactive nature between US Americans and US politics (because our government is literally run by nazis now), but this decision isn't helping; it will fuel and reinforce the negative image already held by those who have canceled their accounts and those who are on the fence.

This is just...not accurate.

My current phone has 12GB and quite frankly it's amazing to have that much!

I know 16GB seems ridiculous, but with LLMs gaining popularity, running one locally on a phone really needs at least 8GB, and 16GB would be much better.

I think it's just the way things are going.

Ehh, "long live the real king" is a terrible message.

Private security didn’t identify themselves to Borrenpohl after she asked multiple times and then refused to comply with their repeated directives to leave.

So this took place in a public high school. This woman was threatened, detained and assaulted by private security personnel who didn't identify themselves, didn't say she was trespassing -- which they don't seem to have the authority to do anyway -- , and the sheriff just watched and let it happen.

This seems like a pretty clear first-amendment violation, as well as a criminal assault charge by the security personnel. I hope she sues everyone involved for all they're worth.
