- Comment on From F-Droid to emulators, here's who's hit hardest by Android's new verification rules 1 week ago:
can’t use the same signing keys as a Google Play release, which they should never have been doing anyway
Why? Same author, same signature.

I can’t see this move by Google as anything but a power grab to reduce competition
It locks down phones. Without sideloading the elite controls which messenger services can be used. They most likely can also secretly update apps and replace them with versions that leak the encryption keys.
With Google not being threatened by a competitor this essentially tells us that the elite is serious about moving to fascism.
It’s frightening to me that the comment has 85 upvotes but no reply that points this out.
- Comment on Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says 'employers will see a stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality' after the company laid off more than 1,000 people 1 week ago:
Should have kept the employees and offered them as consultants, packaged as loot boxes.

- Comment on Ukraine war spillover raises security concerns for Korean Peninsula, warn diplomats 2 weeks ago:
He also cautioned that failure to hold aggression accountable could set dangerous precedents globally, including in the Indo-Pacific.
Which is what happened to Ukraine. Without the Iraq war and Syria, Russia would judge its security differently.

The facebook logo could be loaded from facebook. Then Facebook knows the preferences and can offer more suitable ads, whether the page is shared or not.
- Comment on Google gives Android users a way to install unverified apps if they prove they really, really want to 2 weeks ago:
A solution without demand is worthless. At first the demand has to be created. Some people value understanding and are thankful but that’s a small minority.
- Comment on Google gives Android users a way to install unverified apps if they prove they really, really want to 2 weeks ago:
The sales rep offered a solution to that person’s problem.
You want that person to be right which they perceive as you want to dominate them.
So they try to resist you while they are highly motivated to follow the instructions of the sales person.
- Comment on YSK: The CIA proposed a 9/11 style false flag attack on US citizens to justify invading Cuba 2 weeks ago:
No sane person can trust a promise or a treaty made through US foreign policy ever again.
And yet the Iranians rallied and did some revolting. Since dropping South Vietnam nobody can have relied on the US blindly. People must be taking a risk and hope that the support lasts long enough.
Trump is in power because he does what the elite needs. I would like to know why there is no need to hide the mechanisms from the masses.

- Comment on don't let your memes stay dreams 4 weeks ago:
Of course, that’s why it is important to remember that the people have the power.
- Comment on don't let your memes stay dreams 4 weeks ago:
The powerful people didn’t stood up and took the power. It was a gradual process that the masses could have stopped. They still can, they just need to know that they have that power.
- Comment on don't let your memes stay dreams 4 weeks ago:
Without masses there would be no power.
The masses give the power, they are ultimately responsible. It’s the same as with traffic.
- Comment on don't let your memes stay dreams 4 weeks ago:
Have you tried touching grass? The problem is not powerful people but the apathy of the masses.
The powerful people support that apathy but the masses could change everything at any moment.

Don’t everyone in the HOA get to vote on who will be on the board and what rules there should be? Why do many of them seem to have strange and petty rules?
Why should it be different from any other election?
- Comment on EU steps up border checks on baby milk ingredient from China as contamination suspected to be linked to deaths of three infants 5 weeks ago:
That could very well be true but where is that a problem in my comment?
- Comment on EU steps up border checks on baby milk ingredient from China as contamination suspected to be linked to deaths of three infants 5 weeks ago:
Relying on Chinese products for baby formula after the 2008 scandal requires some mental gymnastics.
But that wouldn’t be an issue if the ingredients were tested. How can so many producers not catch the contamination?
Which rises the question, how can so many producers shift sourcing to the same company? Even worse, how can the EU not identify this as a threat? No baby milk when we are at war with China? The supply chain act should prevent this problem in the future.
But finally:
half of the consignments entering the bloc from the Asian powerhouse should be physically checked.
Why check only half? It only saves half the work but keeps the risk. Companies can slip the contaminated product into production and claim that it came from the unchecked half.
- Comment on The same people who rage against authority love moderating communities where their ideology is the only one allowed 5 weeks ago:
The west doesn’t support human rights, and the fascists are already in power.
But as a society we believe that we support human rights so as a society we are not ready to face our fascist traits.
