Its getting kind of silly to be afraid of China when big tech is American…

I think they mean Google play services yeah. When i was running cyanogenmod on my phone, I had the option to not install Googles play services.
Some apps rely on that being installed but most worked fine.
- Comment on I was on social media before web browsers existed. I am Legion. 2 days ago:
I had an icq number in the 184000 range. :) Bragging rights!
Every time this topic comes up, I feel very nostalgic. Of course the tech was not as good, but the internet was free of big tech.
- Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades 4 days ago:
Linux.
- Comment on Docs used to be cool as hell 6 days ago:
Not to mention weaker social circle. :)
- Comment on pls 6 days ago:
I guess I understand. Maybe your life is full of politics you cant get away from and Lemmy is like a break from all that. And then it becomes super important to not see it here.
I dont watch any politics in real life and thats really helped me feel grounded and positive. I understand the view that its poison because it kind of is, mental poison.
- Comment on Docs used to be cool as hell 6 days ago:
Scared of Apples, that was unexpected and funny as hell.
- Comment on pls 1 week ago:
Yeah thats fair of course.

I always do. :)
- Comment on Literally 1984 1 week ago:
Are you saying im a toilet? :)
- Comment on Decisions, decisions.... 1 week ago:
Im sure he likes to do both.
- Comment on pls 1 week ago:
Some of you guys seem more interested in communities following every single rule rather than have people actually post content.
This is Lemmy, not reddit, so perhaps we can just be happy that users are active? A few political posts when a new war was just launched may not be too much to deal with, or?
- Comment on The same people who rage against authority love moderating communities where their ideology is the only one allowed 1 week ago:
Not true for everyone. But sure, I understand the idea. Its just what i know people who hate authority and because of that, they know how to act with compassion instead.
- Comment on The new Voyager game was pretty bad. 1 week ago:
Does it have gay klingons?
- Comment on Why is the USA attacking Iran? 1 week ago:
He is not insane, just evil. Which is bad enough.
- Comment on Why is the USA attacking Iran? 1 week ago:
Oh you are new to this? America has always been on Israel side, for decades. Its their proxy for operations in the middle east.
- Comment on Iran war: US military aircraft crash in Kuwait 1 week ago:
Are we supposed to route for the American attackers in this war? Going to be quite difficult for me at least. Sure, I think American values are a lot better than iranian leadership values, but that gives no moral right to America to attack another country like this.
- Comment on Anthropic says it ‘cannot in good conscience’ allow Pentagon to remove AI checks 1 week ago:
Its been an american leadership view for as long as ive been alive that American lives are worth at least a hundred times more than other lives.

You must be using one of those browsers from an ad company.
- Comment on Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away." 1 week ago:
Didnt you guys watch that black mirror episode? It was exactly like this. Look away from ads and you get punished.
- Comment on It's literally science 1 week ago:
Exactly right. Just a bit of exercise every week is enough to get stronger muscles and no pain in back or anywhere else. At least that worked for me, and its easy to do.
- Comment on The script is mysterious and important. 1 week ago:
There are Ai clips now on YouTube where they replace actors in famous movies, like putting Tom Cruise in the matrix or whatever.
I dont watch them because I dont want my nice memories of these movies to be overwritten, but it shows how easy it is today to do.
- Comment on The script is mysterious and important. 1 week ago:
Made me laugh. I dont know how true it is but its funny. :)

Im super happy to see so many upvotes for this most excellent browser!
- Comment on Panasonic, the former plasma king, will no longer make its own TVs 1 week ago:
I still have a 10 year old plasma, 50 inch, absolutely zero problems with it. Value for money has been incredible.
- Comment on Nvidia and OpenAI abandon unfinished $100-billion deal in favour of $30-billion investment 2 weeks ago:
In the mean time, people are trying to buy bread and pay for electricity. Nice.
- Comment on Ad companies are the ones destroying civilization 2 weeks ago:
Kind of funny this has to be discussed in shower thoughts when its a central theme of our entire world at the moment.
- Comment on Man Opposing Data Center Arrested for Speaking Slightly Too Long 2 weeks ago:
Yes because they are evil.
- Comment on AWS suffered ‘at least two outages’ caused by AI tools, and now I’m convinced we’re living inside a ‘Silicon Valley’ episode 2 weeks ago:
And now I have to rewatch Silicon Valley again…
- Comment on This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN. 2 weeks ago:
They are seen in military videos. Anyway, no point talking about this here.
