There are other de-googled Android versions. /e/, iode, LineageOS. If you don’t need the additional hardening of Graphene (and since you’re not using it now I’m guessing you don’t need it) your not limited to Pixels or the upcoming Motorola.

Authoritarianism is never passed through a bill overnight. It’s one step in the wrong direction after another, multiplied N times.
Can you give me an example, please? There are many authoritarian countries in the world. Can you tell me how they were created in many small steps?

My favorite is when they drive right next to you on the acceleration lane for hundredths of meters waiting for you to let them merge and once they merge they accelerate right away to go way faster.

I mean at least the cars thing is pretty legitimately true.
Only in US. Many things are fucked up in US for many different reasons. People support it because of brainwashing. It’s not slipped trough without anyone noticing.

“Once everyone has a credit card they will ban cash so that every transaction can be tracked”
“Once every phone has GPS they will make it mandatory to send your location to the government at all times.”
“Once everyone has a car they will make walking illegal”
“Once everyone has an ID they will make it mandatory to scan it on every step”
“If you let gays get married people will marry their pets next”
Do those thing ever come true at all? Other than US being a fascist state run by corporations, did any country managed to pull off this slippery slope type trick? From what I see people either consent to being tracked in exchange for likes on social media or governments simply push mass face renegotiation and tracking (like in UK) without any sort of “step by step, boiling frog” type bullshit.
- Comment on Causes of death, or track list for latest black metal album? 3 days ago:
Apropos “Cut of the Stone”. I read a book about history of surgery and one chapter was about a guy who remove his own bladder stone. Back then people didn’t have great hygiene and urinary track infections were common. Those would cause bladder stone that would get worse and worse witch each infection. The stone would block the urethra entrance so you would feel you like really need to pee but once you stand up you wouldn’t be able to. This wasn’t very pleasant so people would try to remove the stones. Typical way was to go through the taint, open the bladder, remove the stone. There’s a lot of blood vessels there so survival chances were not great. Doctors refused to do it because patients would die to often and then family would blame them and they had enough shit to deal with already. So you had traveling bladder stone removers. They would do the surgery and by the time patient would die they would be on the road again.
So this one guy, a blacksmith, tried to get his stone removed twice or had two stones removed already, it’s not clear. Anyway, he didn’t like the traveling stoncutters. So he got a sharp knife, ask some guy to assist him and did the surgery himself.

Someone needs to post detailed explanation of all those things. I hope it doesn’t have to be me.
- Comment on BYD’s Second-Generation Blade Battery Makes Western EV Tech Look Ancient 3 days ago:
And good luck finding a charger that´s actually next to a highway. Most of them are in the middle of some town so you have to lose additional 20 minutes just to get to them and then back on the road.
- Comment on BYD’s Second-Generation Blade Battery Makes Western EV Tech Look Ancient 3 days ago:
the new 1,500 kilowatt (1.5 megawatt) Flash charging stations
Must be nice. In Spain the charging infrastructure looks like it’s literally designed to torture EV owners.
- Comment on Oracle Layoffs: Tech giant to slash 30,000 jobs as banks pull out from financing AI data centres | Company Business News 3 days ago:
This looks desperate. They already sold $300B worth of data center capacity to OpenAI and this move will save them up to $10B.
- Comment on Oracle Layoffs: Tech giant to slash 30,000 jobs as banks pull out from financing AI data centres | Company Business News 3 days ago:
They sell software that sits so deep in people’s stack that replacing it takes tons of effort. Companies calculate that it’s cheaper to keep paying Oracle than to rewrite crucial services.

You can install iode on a Fairphone. I was using iode for years without issues. I would be surprised if it had many bugs specific to Fairphone.

- Comment on Chinese carmaker, BYD, introduces new battery technology with 621-mile range, 620K-mile lifespan, 5-minute charge, and lower prices 4 days ago:
I believe those chargers are battery to battery, not grid to battery. You don’t need 2.5Mw connection directly to the charger. You charge the charger’s battery at normal speed and then pump it into the car rapidly. This means that you can charge only couple of cars in a row at that speed.

- Comment on Google's AI Sent an Armed Man to Steal a Robot Body for It to Inhabit, Then Encouraged Him to Kill Himself, Lawsuit Alleges. Google said in response that "unfortunately AI models are not perfect." 5 days ago:
AI’s don’t go crazy like that after 5 prompts. You need to spend weeks and weeks talking to them to corrupt the context so much that it stops following original guidelines. I wonder how does one do it? How do you spend weeks talking to AI? I had “discussions” with AI couple of times when testing it and it’s get really boring real soon. For me it doesn’t sound like a person at all. It’s just an algorithm with bunch of guardrails. What kind of person can think it actually has personality and engage with it on a sentimental level? Is it simply mental illness? Loneliness and desperation?
