Inb4 they start flagging 3D printers because you can print mags with them.

Aleshire added that due to a recent Texas Supreme Court ruling, there is effectively no way to enforce public records laws against Abbott and other top state officials. He called the decision an “ace card” for these politicians.
- Comment on Him and Elon were cybering, calling it now... 1 week ago:
He was probably stupid enough to engage in quid pro quo corruption, which is one of the very few illegal forms of corruption in the US.
- Comment on Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer 1 week ago:
That’s after you go through customs. AFAIK, that doesn’t apply to people coming into the country.
Although this administration holds people more than 48 hours regardless.

Threatening to detain you indefinitely (your rights aren’t the same at the border/customs as they are after entering the country), or just outright deny you entry.
- Comment on Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer 1 week ago:
Yes, but customs can still compel you to unlock your phone as we have recently seen with the Norweigan tourist who was denied entry due to having a JD Vance meme on his phone.
I would recommend having a separate phone with non-important data on it to take with you to the US, or have a self hosted cloud service that you can backup your data to before wiping your device.

LineageOS also has this feature.

Be wary since as of Android 16, Google no longer provides device source for Pixel phones.

Yeah. Only Spanish people are normal. Found that out today.

- Comment on Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials 1 week ago:
Not sure where I said natural = better. All I said was natural things are generally more studied because they existed for lot longer.
- Comment on Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials 1 week ago:
Yes, but plastic is a very new invention and a lot less studied than something like Pb or Hg, which are natural elements.

IIRC Revanced uses its own microG fork.
The original YouTube app that it’s pafching is obviously still proprietary, but all patches and the patcher are open source.
- Comment on YouTube Will Add an AI Slop Button Thanks to Google’s Veo 3 4 weeks ago:
I started using PipePipe, which is a fork of NewPipe that allows for signing into a Google account to authenticate.
I create dummy Google accounts using an old Android phone, as that doesn’t require a phone number.
