- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 4 hours ago:
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.

So, will an app like this

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

The 90-minute live demonstration featured the introduction of a complete computer hardware and software system called the oN-Line System or, more commonly, NLS, which demonstrated for the first time many of the fundamental elements of modern personal computing, including windows, hypertext, graphics, efficient navigation and command input, video conferencing, the computer mouse, word processing, dynamic file linking, revision control, and a collaborative real-time editor.

- Comment on Discord customer service data breach leaks user info and scanned photo IDs 4 days 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 4 days 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? 1 week 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 1 week 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.

You clearly know nothing or feign ignorance about its creator/CEO, Peter Thiel, who is evil, with evil intent, and evil aspirations.
- Comment on Samsung Embeds Israeli Surveillance App on Phones Across MENA 2 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 2 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 2 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.
That’s a hard fall if it does.

- Comment on I hacked Microsoft Edge to make my ideal Chromium web browser 4 weeks ago:
Some say brave, but all that crypto crap and a few scandals has me saying no.
Vivaldi, which started by the original Opera Deva after the browser was bought by a Chinese corp is pretty OK. Lots of the google stuff removed. Very customizable. Still works with ublock.
Other than that, on android there’s chromite - no google blobs. Chromium on Linux - but it still has the google blobs.

Google is making users/consumers not want to use/consume google things by making those things more difficult, more invasive, less user friendly to use/consume.
That’s it. That’s all.
If I just want to watch a clip that I could before but now I have to sign in because it thinks I’m a not, NO
If it wants me to watch ads for things I’ll never buy and actually forces me to, NO.
If it kills the front ends I prefer to use, or kills the ability to watch via proxy, for my privacy and/or security. NO.
If it feeds me Nazi shit without clicking a single link on a new install on a new browser with no profile on a new IP, fucking NO.
