  • Honestly, if the app was open-source so we can check it does not leak data, I would probably have no issue with it.

    Making it a separate app makes sense if google wants to allow other apps to re-use the code. No reason to have the same functionality bundled into each app separately.

    And the feature, as long as it is configurable, seems useful.

    The auto-install is bad but understandable. As far as I am aware, there is no easy way to mark an app as a dependency of another app so it gets automatically installed only when needed. This should be fixed, but auto-install for all is not terrible temporary solution. This does not apply when the app is closed source and may steal your data.

  • Just heads up, DOE is Department of Energy. Official abbreviation for Department of Educations is ED, an informal one is DoEd.

    Also the student loans would be transfered to Department of Treasury, which they will likely try to do even if ED is not shut down.

  • These corporations just see the writing on the wall, and I'm sure many of them are doing it purely out of self-preservation.

    I guess, but as I said, I did not expect the corpos of America that have basically bought the government through lobbyists to be afraid of that. Especially the tech giants, who could probably reshape public opinion with a turn of a dial on their algorithms.

    Others probably have some romantic view of industry in Nazi Germany, and think they can glom onto the fascists and become the next Hugo Boss or Volkswagon.

    Musk and his companies certainly expect that, but I am skeptical of the others to join in this late.

    Both explanations are possible but they seem unlikely to me. I feel like I am missing a piece of the puzzle.

  • I have absolutely no idea what these companies are doing.

    Are they afraid of Trump? Are they afraid of Musk? Are they afraid of the combination of both?

    Idk, I thought two incompetent idiots like them would be no threat to the corpos of America, even in the oval office. But maybe I overestimated the corpos.

    Or are they jumping on the band wagon voluntarily? It's so weird to me...

  • My point is that Democrats enabled a Fascist to have any chance of winning and seem to have no regrets about it. Any half competent candidate should have run laps around Trump, a convicted felon and known rapist. As long as they keep supporting the democratic party and making excuses for it despite that, stuff like this will keep happening. They need to find a way to hold their party accountable. Blaming the voter is the absolute opposite of that. I say this not to encourage anyone to vote for Trump, but to make people stop wasting time blaming the voters and start holding Democratic party accountable.

  • Yes, the mysterious other things.

    The point is, who did you vote for if you say it helped Palestinians? Because the only option that has even a miniscule chance to help is not voting.

    But I am guessing that is not what you did. You voted for the party you liked and then pretended listening to Palestinians and making effort with negligible or nonexistent results was helping.
