In my network circle, only a few 50+ year olds still use SMS. Either everyone is on my Nextcloud instance, Delta Chat or Signal. Or of they have iphones they use imessages between themselves.

This has been said for over a decade. People were either ignoring this or not paying attention.

It is not hard. One just has to be committed enough.

They never explained why. We all know why. So thankful that I am not a gamer and as such I do not even sign up to Google on my phone via Playstore or even Google Play Services. I can get away with either Aurora or just FOSS apps.

Notice me Hacker Senpai!

Local walk-in store, if possible?

In fairness Palantir has always been an underhanded Corp. Even from before Trump.

Sure. But in many cases, people are just over sensitive because this type of BS is allowed. There would be no end since somehow, somewhere, someone will find the most mundane garbage to get offended by.

Some women get offended by the air conditioner.

Librewolf is better if you are going to use a few extensions. Mullvad like FlTor are meant to be used as is, out of the box.

The AI moralises on the importance that not everyone gets to be old and then forgives the man who killed him. Fuck that garbage.

Since you know it was the wife who pushed for it.

So if Bill Gates says it then it must be true and honest? Yeah, the Billionaire who uses Venture Philanthropy to hide his manipulating of the markets he just happens to also invest in, too?

Whatever man. He also gives tons money to Media outlets so no one ever criticises him. Why would they bite the hand that feeds them? Conflict of interest much?

Watched the video, it is creepy. It is also edited. Wife seems to just have put words on her dead husband's AI.

This has not set a legal precedent. WTF.

What is your definition of Fascist, here?

It seems to get tossed around at everything, these days. Not a fan if the NSA either, nor the Patriot Act, either.

Yeah, so what if I want to hide a bunch of Jews in my attic?

Nice, and thank you, Friend.

Like other stated. It used up too much space. Most of want it did can be done via Android or gestures if you have them.

Even the redesigned menu us a bit annoying since it takes one extra button press to get to extensions onto of an upward swipe.

As far as perhaps pitting it for you, try via the Secret Menu, of the mobile version of the Developer Mode.

What is you take on people taking loans and the defaulting on them? Honestly, asking a hoenst next question.

If people downvoted this, then they are idiots. Or ideologues. Why are student loans different than other loans? Honestly asking.yrs, I will fully agree that different States may have different Laws. Sure. 100% agree. But what is the aggregate? Please, let me know.

It seems of people are downvoting me not because I may be wrong but due to them getting triggered because I Kay be stating an unpopular fact. I will see how this post get downvoted, too. As proof.

Cheers.

As a Canadian I can tell you that politically everything wrong, or almost all wrong with the country is literally the Liberal Party's fault. They have been in power for a decade, already.

All, or almost all of their policies have made the country worse. It is easy for idealogues out there to blame the conservatives but in reality the Libs pushed for all the things that broke the country.

From extreme immigration that increased crime, El Salvador is now safer than Toronto, to the price of housing, to making drugs more accessible via their Safe Supply program. That sounds good in make believe land but horrible in practice.

Which saved more "users' lives" at the cost of increasing the number of overall drug addicts, everywhere. Same happened in Seattle and Cali, as well as in Portugal where this whole scheme was copied from.

You can tell by seeing the ratio increase of users and deaths in the provinces that pushed for this policy over the ones that didn't.

Can't even really blame the conservatives as the Libs and the NDP --which was Lefty but devolved to being Lib-Lite- created a collation as to bypass their vote in most cases. So they passed a lot of stuff easily and mostly on their own.

It is a mistake to not blame the Liberal party only because they have the word "Liberal" in their name. Trudeau alone was found guilty of 4 ethic violations, one including his family, so just straight up corruption. So, yes, we could blame the bad Covid handling and the NDP as well, if we want to nickpick. With the later now a shadow of its former self. The NDP leader sold out the party and the government, so he could be eligible for his fat government pension. He announced his retirement immediately after and lost his riding just after that. They got destroyed in the recent election, too.

Carney has already been got caught lying, a few times, saying one thing to English speakers and the 180° opposite to French speakers regarding infrastructure projects because he needed their votes and he just recycled a ton of the same people in government. There are other examples.

He ran as being an outsider when anyone with eyes knows that he is not. He is even the godfather of one of the kids of Freeland, the previous Deputy PM AND Finance Minister (who is now the Transportation Minister under him) who quit the job, the morning she was supposed to table their budget that was over $20 Billion over the number they had stated before, because she is a coward and was looking after her career first, along with 0 sense of real accountability. She quitting put us in a constitutional crisis and we went through not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 Finance ministers in 14-16 hours, including her. Then she ran for the leader of the Liberal party before losing to Carney, but as stated she is in the new Cabinet anyway.

We literally applauded an ex-Nazi SS soldier in parliament because the Libs wanted PR points and come off as pro-Ukraine but did 0 vetting on the guy. This was supposed to be done by the office of the PM. They are that incompetent and threw another guy, the Speaker of the House under the bus and forced him to quit, as to save face. Fucking embarrassing.

Their biggest selling point was, "we are not Conservatives." Which is funny as the Libs literally copied a bunch of Con campaign/platform promises, rebranded them, and sold them as theirs. I am not a conservative but holy shit the Libs are so incompetent. Not really positive about the new guy, either. Once you get past the new paint job, it is just more of the same. He became the Leader of the Libs by decree of the party and paid about $250,000 to run, as he was never elected by anyone in the public or held a riding. Which is a first in our system.

He just got inserted. That is not very Liberal nor democratic.

The loss of Liberties was all Liberal policy too. They fear monger people and then remove liberties for "our" protection, of course. It is sad to see the country go down this fast.

I did not know that, thanks. The reason I use Tab Stash is because I can use my Nextcloud instance to move the tabs/bookmarks automatically. As for privacy reasons I do not use FF sync.

Moving a file seems like more work and more moving parts as I use multiple machines and different OS'es on the same machines.

Fair. I thought so too, but I wanted to be as close to the article in question. As to avoid any misunderstandings.
