I don’t think anyone’s actually dumb enough to do that
Never underestimate human stupidity.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature we don’t like 🤣
- Comment on Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance 4 weeks ago:
That’s right. But how detrimental asbestos is took time to be made abundantly clear and known, plus “authorities” got involved, so the sheep listened. With surveillance, the same “authorities” want the public to be ignorant so that they can keep it going without us countering it.
Similar situations, but certainly not equal.
- Comment on Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance 4 weeks ago:
This is the right approach. Normies won’t pay attention to any “your privacy is at risk” argument. But showing them examples (plural, as 1 instance won’t do shit either and will just be dismissed) of people getting fucked by all the surveillance COULD make some of them take it into consideration (no guarantees).
I do not agree that people that allow these devices into their homes are idiots. I see them more as “ignorantly lazy”.

I’ve been calling them that for years 🤣🤣🤣
- Comment on Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse 4 weeks ago:
In all honesty, I have no idea. I didn’t give the stock firmware enough time on my phone to check on anything other than the amount of tracking and the move to the system partition.
As for the reason for putting them in this partition, I’m sold on the idea that it’s to keep the levels of invasion as high as possible while removing the user’s options to get rid of them.

In my case, Streamio and… Wait, no, just Streamio 😝
- Comment on Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse 4 weeks ago:
I had to use MS Authenticator for work and it worked in GOS, notifications and all. Now, that was about a year ago, and I haven’t tried it since. At the speed GAFAM are enshitifying everything, there’s a chance it doesn’t work anymore. I keep a Pixel 8a stock for banking and some other apps that I need (such as EV charging networks) and won’t work or are unsustainably wonky on GOS. As I mentioned in another post, RethinkDNS is worth it, but it does take some trial and error to get it to work without breaking stuff I need, but once I got there, it was all good (that’s how I keep the 8a less intrusive).
- Comment on China's Robotaxi Companies Are Racing Ahead of Tesla 4 weeks ago:
690 million women in China, let’s say 30% are in age to give birth, that’s 207 million. If only 50% of those actually give birth in the next 5 years, that’s a whooping 47.6 million kids per year.
Yeah, that population will climb, just not overnight.
- Comment on Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse 4 weeks ago:
May I suggest you give RethinkDNS a shot? At first it’s kind of convoluted to configure, but once you have it set up the way you want, it’s smooth sailing from there.

Please do stay on GOS. I already suffered for 2 days for the whole community.
- Comment on Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits 4 weeks ago:
How about I upload a dick Pic? That should do.
- Comment on Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse 4 weeks ago:
I know, and that’s exactly my point. They used to be in the user space, now they are in squashfs. They CHOSE to do this.
- Comment on Google Keeps Making Smartphones Worse 4 weeks ago:
2 days ago I moved from GrapheneOS back to Stock Pixel in my 8 Pro, just to see what all the hype about the new android 16 in Pixel is about. Jesus, this is way worse than I remember. i tried it for 2 whole days, and that shit just won’t allow me to have ANY control over my phone. It’s fucking ridiculous. On Android 15 I was able to uninstall Google Drive, Meet, Youtube, and many other Google apps, this time around all it would allow was “disable”. What’s next, removing the ability to disable (which I don’t trust anyway)?
Fast forward to today, I’m back on GOS, and my anxiety levels are down again. This shit is insane, and I honestly can’t understand why anyone would put up with this crap.

First install GrapheneOS, then become a dealer. You’re welcome.
- Comment on Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer 5 weeks ago:
You are a smart person. We need more people like you.

Shhhh! They don’t know yet.
- Comment on How big is your media library? 1 month ago:
I’m in a similar place with books and comics. Of course, nowhere near the Jupiter size collection of media you have, but easily 2.5TB+ of just books and comics.
My wife, my kids and I are all avid readers, so we are always sharing some book or comic arc. We’re all rerunning all of Lobo’s arcs, it was Deadpool a couple of weeks ago (that should tell you all anyone needs to know about our family 😜)

OK Netflix, you don’t count 🤣
- Comment on Tailscale addressing concerns over potential enshittification of the platform 1 month ago:
I know they are open source and ‘acknowledged contribution’, but have no idea where they are headquartered. Although it’s very likely also US based.
- Comment on Tailscale addressing concerns over potential enshittification of the platform 1 month ago:
Because this is also part of enshitification. What you mention is just another symptom of it.
- Comment on Tailscale addressing concerns over potential enshittification of the platform 1 month ago:
I’m not waiting for that shit to happen. I just moved over to headscale and am done with tails ale. They will enshitify, it’s a matter of when, not “if”.
- Comment on How to combat large amounts of Ai scrapers 1 month ago:
Eso es correctísimo. I don’t want ANY AI in my servers looking for anything, regardless of if they are crawlers or if it’s on behalf of some lazy fuck.
- Comment on ‘The vehicle suddenly accelerated with our baby in it’: the terrifying truth about why Tesla’s cars keep crashing 1 month ago:
I drive a BYD Han, and I get to choose if lane keep or lane assist are enabled when using cruise control.
In all honesty, in 2 and a half years with the car, it’s been flawless with lane keep and lane assist. However, I only use them in the freeway. Don’t trust the tech enough to not crash me sideways in the city.
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 1 month ago:
If only we could all resolve our disputes like this every time, even after it got heated. But 1 interaction like this is better than none. This proves that we can all understand each other if we’re willing to put ego aside for a bit. You helpede push that a hit, and I really appreciate it.
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 1 month ago:
I am an asshole, that’s never been in question, and I fully own it. Having said that, no amount of “social programs” is going to have any effect if fucking parents don’t raise their kids right.
I’m entirely against surveillance, except when it comes to parents and keeping a close eye on everything their kids watch, browse or otherwise access (evidently making it known to the kids that “I can see EVERYTHING you see and do”).
So, yeah, hang the imbecile parents that should not have had kids in the first place because a fucking social program or school would raise them instead. Fuck off.
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 1 month ago:
Yes I can, moreso after your clarification. I must have misread it the first time. Sorry.
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 1 month ago:
“thought crime”? And you have the balls to talk about using words “by their meaning”?
This is a solid action with a product to show for it, not a thought, which happens to impact someone’s life negatively without their consent, with potentially devastating consequences for the victim. So, can you please use words by their meaning?
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 1 month ago:
Parents are responsible for their kids. The punishment, with the full force of the law, should fall upon the parents, since they should have made sure their kids knew how despicable and illegal doing this is.
Yeah, I agree, we shouldn’t ruin the boys life, we should ruins his whole family to many times the extent something like this ruins a teen girl’s life.
