So they just stole what Signal already does? lol

Porn aside they closed the issue for “piracy”?

Like, don’t get me wrong I understand downloading youtube videos isnt piracy but, you’re getting around the ads, which are a form of payment. Just seems off to me for this to be the hill you crash out on.

I’m on Android w/ PipePipe & GrayJay and have been experiencing issues with videos loading a little then buffering for like 5 minutes

Does it do Geo lookup? It might just be pinging OpenStreetMaps

Ethical alternative to bottom right

I’m not sure exactly what this meme is trying to say. What I am extrapolating from it however is a personal question, where is Gen Z? I genuinely see less than 10 people who even look like they could be a part of Gen Z at every protest I go to. Its always older people. Where are the people who are in college and just graduated? Why aren’t they fighting for their own rights?

You’re more privileged than you will ever realize being in a country that actually sees human life as something other than capital for profit. I hope you never have to understand what we go through and why these are even things we would have to consider in the first place.

Thanks for being a condescending dick about it ig.

Why is it a nutty take to be concerned? It used to be a nutty take that the ability to be able to repair your own stuff was being taken away, then it was the ability for your cars to track you and to listen to you.

Why wouldn’t Google save biometric data to get a paycheck from the US NSA/CIA/FBI for “terrorism counterintelligence”? What ethics or moral code hold them back from this. There are no laws in place saying they can’t do this. All they have to do is specify some vague term in their privacy policy, and regulators would just have to be out-lobbied, which would be no problem for Google and their infinite amounts of money us in the bottom 99% will never see.

Corporations are not your friends. They do not care about you. They care about profit, and if they can make profit they will make profit. This is not an attempt to argue with you. You’re allowed to have your opinion, but being skeptical of changes that corporations are making isn’t a bad thing, especially if you end up being right so early that you can make a change.

Tl;Dr: write your legislator, tell them that you want better consumer protections, even if you think you already have them. It never hurts to make sure you dont get fucked over.

His crew is big and it keeps gettin’ bigger

So I gave my sermon, an urban kick

My rhymes are fly, my beats are sick

Because RCS is a closed standard. I’m not downloading Google Messages (or any closed source app for that matter) to use an “open standard”.

Nicole fell off, millions of lemmings must conspiracize!

i feel like I saw this in a happy meal when I was like 8

edit: nvm I see it now. mine have always been solid circles without any designs on them.

Can you see what Google does with the information you provide them using this service? No? Then theres your answer.

Honestly I hope there is one. This looks like a really cool project

I have an elderly relative recently ask me why the email on their phone wasn’t on their computer.

(it was an SMS.)

Your views that want to hide the hardships of the few because the hardships of the many are somehow more important? Right, have fun “benefitting everyone”.
