Unless they ban installations from 3rd party stores, I don't see how that can happen.

You could always install firefox from F-Droid

With the EU's Digital Markets Act, I think its gonna be quite difficult to ban 3rd party installations, I mean unless they pull an apple and make 2 versions of the OS for EU vs rest of the world?

I really want an all-in-one android app that just let me connect 2 portable ssds (via a usb hub) and then make a list of hashes for the folder structure and file names along with the hashes, all on a single sor of "index" file and I can run a "verify" function like every so often (like maybe once a week?) to check if there are any decay, also copy everything to the 2nd drive, and then run the verify to check if its done correctly, and correct any file corruptions.

Like its a very ghetto way to doing a NAS on a budget, but its just a $50 spare android phone connected to a usb hub with the power connected, and a bunch of drives attached.

I can run hash checks manually with some F-Droid apps, and keep the hashes on a file, but there us no way to automate this.

It's called subtitles 😅

I mean I think you've already asked a similar questiom before, I'll re-iterate:

Automation is built by working class people, so it's only fair for the results of that automation to also benefit the working class, basically: Universal Basic Income.

Because if republicans release only the democrats on the list, the Democrats will release the full unredacted copy as a form a Mutually Assured Destruction.

Surely the Dems would have been smart enough to keep a copy themselves during the Biden Administration.

talks into the radio

"the jig is up, TAKE THEM! And also burn their citizenship papers"

Call from a burner phone and give an anonymous report. Even then, if you have the slightest connection with the victim, you will be questioned, and you should shut the fuck up.

I mean idk how the "anonymous call" and the "shut the fuck up" helps if its your bf/gf or parent or child, that went missing. I you're gonna look very bad to a jury when they hear that you weren't on any record of having filed a missing person report like very early on, or if you refuse to cooperate with police. I mean this isn't like you just robbed a store or something, in which case the jury will probably understand why you don't wanna talk, but like... in this scenario, this is someone close to you that went missing, every jury is gonna have a biased opinion of you for non-cooperation.

Not to mention, the early someone is found, the better chance they are alive.

Yea but like how do you know what the cops are thinking. They could assume its a "self-report" if they can't find any suspects. I watched a documentary where the boyfriend was immediately their #1 suspect, but thankfully they later found evidence that someone else did it, and that he wasn't involved with his girlfriend's disappearance. That could've turn out poorly if the cops were being dicks.

Yea... but the cops attitude and tone of voice is kinda disgusting, and they treat everyone like criminals, even when questioning the victims. Their bad behavior never gets pointed out.

The cringiest thing is when the narrator overanalyze every movement and portary the body language of the criminal as "telltale signs of guilt", and if the suspect is innocent (some videos also include arrests of innocent people), the narrator immediately say the body posture are "telltale signs of being innocent". Lmao wtf. Y'all read the entire story before making the documentary, hindsight 20/20.

1/3 of the world made porn illegal and I don't see many revolts.

Lol I remember my dad having an argument with my mom in the morning so he just noped out of the house without anyone noticing he left the house, and didn't respond to phone calls until late afternoon. I think he was having a mini-vacation lol.

POV: When you're the socially awkward kid in school during the mid/late-2010s and you don't have a smartphone to be in group chats, so nobody wanna talk to you since they view you as "the loser who doesn't even have a phone"

Lol I guessed what it was before clicking on it, that video never gets old, just like the dissidents that gets killed.

"Feds"

checks Wikipedia page for Spain

Government: "Unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy"

🧐

(Sorry for nitpicking lol 😅)

But serious tho:

I kinda hate these weird associations. Its like arresting people who wear glasses because intellectual rebels wear glasses? (Pol Pot?)

Like can't someone just use a phone in peace? Most Pixel users don't even use Graphene OS.

Hey you know what, drug dealers drink water. Lets arrest people who drink water!

Lol haven't used the app for like at least 7 years? Maybe even 10 years. Haven't used the app as soon as I learned what an adblocker is, using uBlock Origin on Firefox.

I don't "subscribe" to anyone either, I just keep a list of everyone who I wanna watch and check everyone channel like once every 3 days. Takes like 3 minutes to go through the list of like around 20 channels. No accounts, all done over a no-log VPN to a privacy-friendly country.

Which reminds me... I'm too depressed to have energy to eat, survival is a struggle.

Somebody please shoot me lol

The same reason you never hear from what happens inside abusive households until someone from within speaks up (aka: a "defector")

Edit: As for the follow up questions:

Imagine you live in the "hood" where the authorities doesn't do shit, and you see someone who's part of a gang abuse their child, are you gonna go confront them at the risk of getting your whole family shot to death? That's what MAD is like on the world stage. North Korea has China as an ally, don't forget about that.

I remember waking up like the morning after election day in 2016 and was shocked why a competent woman lost against some bussinessman who was never in politics (this was way before I fully understood politics), I was rooting for Hillary to become the first woman president, I was already feeling very egalitarian at the time, and also because she's a Democrat. Also because I immigrated to the US, so I naturally root for the more pro-immigration candidate. So yea I heard the news that Hillary lost despite having more votes, thats around the time I learned about the electoral college and that felt like bullshit. Luckily, I had derivative citizenship at the time, so I didn't really think too deep.

But now this 2nd term is honestly terrifying. both the 2020 and 2024 election nights was just filled with dread, and now that fear has become a reality, doesn't feel remotely to the first term.

Anyways, now my brain is so scrambled like an egg. Idk wtf is life anymore. Kinda having an "identity crisis" about my nationality/citizenship because that thought of potentially being deported is constantly lingering on the back of my mind ever since 2024 the morning following election night after the results were announced. I mean if I lose my citizenship, I'm gonna look so silly for ever refering to myself as an "American". That's like saying you're part of the family, then your parents removes you from the will.

Oh yea I have no other citizenship. My previous country does no do dual citizenship, and its a dictatorship. Funny how I'm running from one dictatorship right into another. 🙃

Depression definitely does not mix well with political instability/autocratization.
