While good intended these actions just further validate their ideas, by showing anything other than an uncompromising “No”.

No, not exactly like.

Linux: any distro not implementing age verification becomes illegal

Searx: search engines already implement captchas and ridiculous rate limits.

Fediverse: inconvenient node operators can be categorized as terrorists, like the italian anarchists who were providing web services.

Signal will just buzz off countries implementing backdoors. Until it’s not put next to Encrochat. Same with GrapheneOS.

US already banned routers. Those should be entirely provided by ISPs only at some point.

They could as well publicly and really piss and shit all over these hearings at this point.

the cyclist punched first.

like nitter and xcancel got a musky cease and desist letter and they promptly closed the service and the repository.

If any corporation decides any software is hurting their bottom line, anything is fair game to them.

All just one puny little squeaky C&D letter away from shutdown apparently, probably.

platforms used to want more users and traffic. we are really in retarded timeline

LMAO

nobody that matters

oh no, labeled by a shitposter. how can I ever recover

That’s right. “Members of the armed forces” not the armed forces per se. Cops also buy stuff out of their own pocket right? I go to the same stores to buy stuff too. We’re all civilians there. What we do with the things we buy is not the store’s business. I just don’t think the case has a leg to stand on, in court. Russia will just say they have nothing to do with it, if there’s no proof.

Well “if Russia does it, so can we” really turns this into an even worse quagmire huh? I’m not in denial of the reality of war, but I won’t be supporting any side of the same atrocity. I have nothing but disdain for anyone who enlists.

Still that’s kinda weak argument. Those items are bought privately? So it’s not used as legit military command IT infrastructure like amazon aws or microsoft? I’m sure it will be different in the international courts, if they had any teeth. How could Ukraine ever justify “selling helmets and first aid kits to civilians” as a legitimate target…

Custom roms can be just like distros. The problem is non unlockable bootloaders and device attestation and that’s only getting worse with the help of the govs. If we wanna try something, it would be directed here. But they’re really convinced only big corps can do it.

Anything else installed on a device, including GrapheneOS, will render it a dumb device. People don’t want that, they don’t even want freedom actually. They don’t want linux, never picked it up for decades. It’ll even get banned.

Welp they now have to protect us from all the cybercriminals in possession of citizen data after they failed to secure their systems.

pedestrains should also wear helmets of course. At least some should

They’re just boomers who fall alone and get more severe injuries. The dutch can’t even put on a helmet, that’s how much they value their head.

If cars have seatbelts, bikes have helmets. It’s not complex.

No need to make bikes pay insurance and vehicle tax. Have identification plates to be easily subject to traffic fines… Oh wait…

Google phone sales don’t even register as change

Neat. Good to know. I’ll still look for the “we don’t collect shit” software.

If you’re gonna use a free one, might aswell. It’s just their barebones service with 3 countries. I don’t see why it would be any different from the paid option within the same company. There’s no different TOS afaik.

The company collects and processes fingerprintable information, including IP address, for “legitimate interests”, whatever those are at any point in time.

This Application may track Users by storing a unique identifier of their device, for analytics purposes or for storing Users’ preferences.

‘Privacy’ is not even mentioned anywhere in the website, not as a feature, not as a consideration or demonstrating awareness.

Except for GDPR this or that. Who cares, just don’t collect data…

No github page, can’t even take a peek at the development.

I’d say not privacy friendly. Would not install. Because while they don’t seem like a data mining operation, they’re still collecting something and there’s risk of database leaks, and privacy is clearly not a focus.

Miss when Nvidea was only used to run Call of Duty, not in REAL life.

Guess it’s more profitable now. That’s ok. Completely ok. Not a single issue with it. None. 0 (zero). War isn’t definitely a racket.
