Trump is now uniting Canadians like never before.

Haha gotta love it

Same. I wonder if she's guarding her chickens? Those breakfast restaurants might get real desperate.

Uh we are currently on Google Pixel 9.

Google Pixel 4 is kind of old. I am unfortunately a victim of the 4a battery.

My solution after 3 years was upgrade to pixel 5a, which was a free upgrade because I had that Google Fi bonus. Google 7 was out, but I didn't care.

I mean I'm glad they're still head accountable. But this is like finally giving people who hated Windows 7 a coupon?

We'll call it FREEDOM FOOD. Please, pass the FREEDOM beef chow fun, and the AMERICAN Fortune cookies, and BALD EAGLE AR-15 green tea.

I watched a woman log into her email at a Best Buy laptop kiosk then walk away. I went over and logged her out.

The user is a moron. Lock your shit.

I don't know about you but we are getting a lot of stories locally about ICE. They just don't make the mainstream news.

You know how ACAB? Because a good cop will quickly get checked to doing bad cop things out of fear, or they leave (willingly or in a body bag).

I'm starting to think that with politics. You go in with the dreams of change. Then you see the bloat and bullshit. You try to pass a bill to make sure that all kids have the right to free food, and some fuck face screams at you and doxxes your family on Rogan and now you got death threats.

I don't have an answer.

Until they're not.

Everything is cool right now for them because they got good management. But at some point, some MBA grad gets elected to lead and drain Costco out of all good will.

Same with Steam.

"backlash"

Trump was doing crazy shit like this all during his first term.

And no punishments. The backlash is crossing arms and pouting.

man this is just like counter-strike!

The bloat and complexity was a feature.

Demand your white friends show them their green card or birth certificate.

If you think that's a joke, ask around. I've been asked that twice in my life. But because I'm not Default American™, I have to prove a lot harder that I was born here.

Wow, this is big news. My feelings are very conflicted on this.

I think it is important to recognize both that:

1. He has (and hopefully will continue to) contribute greatly and meaningfully to privacy, security, and user control/autonomy over our devices and our data greatly. More than most people ever will. The work he has done with Graphene and with Copperhead before that have benefited us all. He has made great technical contributions to Privacy on Android and is a talented developer and deserves recognition and respect for that, I'm certain it was not always easy and often very thankless job. If he chooses to leave the project, losing his experience, knowledge, and dedication is a huge loss.

2. And at the same time, he often behaved in unacceptable ways, is an extremely socially abrasive and often acted in ways that were not stable nor constructive, and saw anyone that wasn't 100% deferential to him as an enemy out to get him and get grapheneOS. Many of us have personal experiences with this, and there are a couple well documented controversies as well. He did a lot for the project technically speaking and its existence is thanks mostly to him, but he also did a lot to push people away and alienate and bully people for the small things, perceived slights, or even technical disagreements, and overall contributed to a toxic and hostile culture in the sub community that harmed both the project and his own mental health. We all struggle in certain regards, and I truly and earnestly hope that he seeks the help he needs, or just takes a breather, and re-engages with the project in a more positive and healthy way. None of us are defined by just one aspect of ourselves, we are the sum of all parts, some good, some bad.

We should be able to acknowledge the good and the bad and not rush to paint a black and white picture in either extreme.

But he has absolutely no reason to do so. That's like VPNs bowing to Trump.

The lack of risk, especially when the average Proton user is actively looking for privacy/security from tech companies who bow to government, makes this endorsement even more sinister than it should be.

Those who need it the most. Imagine them just asking questions about what this Linux thing is to their friends.

On the server instance level, or the user application level?

On the server instance level, I can see if being an issue if it extends to other redirects, and lead to malicious abuse by the instance.

On the user application level, would be valuable. I use Lemmy Sync and it'll be a nice feature to suggest.
