I’m just skimming through the license on my phone and they include LGPL, apache, BSD, Mozilla public license, eclipse public license, w3c, MIT, apple, and GNu.
IANAPOLL (The extra POL is for patent or licensing) so I don’t know the intricacies of each type.
But there are a lot.

I wonder if any and everyone who has ever contributed code under whichever open license was used could sue the tits off google, not as a class, but thousands upon thousands of individual lawsuits, for breach of terms of said licence/contract.

which uses (w)adb, be able to install apk as I currently do?
Or will they also fuck this up ?

- Comment on Discord customer service data breach leaks user info and scanned photo IDs 3 weeks ago:
Moral of the story - tech co’s and gov id requirements are evil and have no basis in actual security.
Now that peoples data has been exposed, they are susceptible to id theft. So, how does a site or gov deal with that?
There suddenly are over 9000 Stan Smith’s on the site. Weird.
Well, guys, for the safety of… … (Murmuring… We’re using the kids as justification this time or terrorism… Kids. OK.) the children, we will require a blood sample to verify your genetic code.
Thank you and have a nice day and welcome to gattaca.
- Comment on Discord customer service data breach leaks user info and scanned photo IDs 3 weeks ago:
So, Discord - by forcing your acceptance of their tos which renders them immune from damages done by "third parties*
By offloading a term of service that Discord requires you to provide.
If they force you to give the info, they are responsible for handling and storing it properly, no matter what some evil lawyer or exec says.
If laws make bad things legal because rich people can use words, then there needs to be some form of redress to return the spirit of the laws to the people.
Maybe we all make usernames with a legally binding personal ToS that is deemed agreed upon by the corporation accepting the username.
This is just a shell game and they are conmen.

- Comment on Suggestions to have a home server VPN and and Mullvad at the same time? 4 weeks ago:
You would maybe need to configure separate virtual interfaces for each VPN. And do some routing or a local redirecting proxy to ensure things go where you want.
On android there are things that allow you to send traffic to different vpns or proxies by setting listening ports. Something like sagernet or proxychainNG or nekobox.
- Comment on Google says adblockers caused YouTube views count to drop - this is what adblockers told us really happened 4 weeks ago:
Exactly.
If I am forced to see ads, especially intrusive or page filling ones, I will not continue.
I watched lots of YouTube in the past.
When they started inserting ads into the videos (not channel sponsored stuff), the camel started getting weak.
When they started requiring sign-ins or blocking access when using a proxy that was the straw.
I don’t use YouTube anymore.

- Comment on Samsung Embeds Israeli Surveillance App on Phones Across MENA 5 weeks ago:
Mine went fine. I kept the radios off before using it and fully flashing just in case.
I read on the grapheme forums that some carrier software might flip a bit or something if it gets downloaded/provisioned.
- Comment on Samsung Embeds Israeli Surveillance App on Phones Across MENA 5 weeks ago:
I have a Canadian carrier purchased phone. Brand new Pixel 9. 5$ a month. For 24 months.
It has only ONCE booted to the Google version of Android.
To flip the toggle to enable OEM unlock.
I kept WiFi off and hadn’t inserted a SIM so it couldn’t update or do anything else that might have prevented flashing graphene.
Not sure if that was necessary, but it worked.
And now I live my life free of google software surveillance.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
The very personal and highly disorganized boycott of American goods and services by Canadians is definitely having an effect on several sectors including tourism, alcohol, and media.
Tourism alone has resulted in a loss of about 30 BILLION.
Because the regime and his sycophantic cunts are fucked and can suck our collective dick.

It is ~14% of NASDAQ s weight. 9%of S&P500 #1 on each.
It is responsible for ~40% of the growth in value in NASDAQ IN the past couple years.
