This is why I have a modicum of respect for Bush Sr. He promised no more taxes on the campaign trail and then when he was in office he realized that in order to balance the budget taxes needed raised. He did this knowing he wouldn't win a second term.
Just admit your part of a cult and you will have the first step to recovery.
And I did pick my position damn near 20 years ago at this point. I had a couple of old school ipods but my first "smart phone" was a blackberry, my second was also a blackberry and then I moved to android with a phone sized tablet that only had wifi and they nexus after that. I've flashed more roms, backed up and restored more data, etc than you have had friends.
You have a nice day now and I will add you to the block list as well.
It's clear that no one here actually understands how this stuff works so I'm done. But I will say this. Google only controls so much. Another large player or enough smaller developers working together could change the direction. And no, you don't really need play services, play store, etc. There are alts like f-Droid and see my earlier sentence.
Android is open source and this post is full of shit. Apple is a company that makes phones and the os that runs on them. Android is used by Google for the pixel line and the nexus line before it but anyone can fork android and make it their own, make it run on any device that supports it, etc.
None of this is true for android. You can and always have been able to sideload whatever apps you want so long as it's compiled to work with your version of android.
Apple has always been the walled garden and they are nowhere near in the same league.
If you want to be taken seriously, don't mention apple and android in the same sentence like this. Apple makes phones, android is an operating system and a Foss one at that. Wording like the above shows a major lack of understanding when it comes to tech.
Yes it is different but so is Breaking Bad, Bojack Horseman, Futurama, etc. Shows/movies can be different and still be equal in quality.
I'm still going to say that The Shield is up there with the others in quality, regardless of the differing topics and story. I don't want to watch the same movie or TV show over and over with a different cast and slightly different story line.
I had a tough time as well, I think it was the slow burn intro and the shaky camera work (that is actually technique). Try it again and it is most definitely some of the best television of all time. Right up there with breaking bad as well.
Telegram doesn't use vpns to bypass access restrictions. There have been multiple attempts to block/ban telegram and they inevitably fail because of the way the internet is designed. And as I said. If you have access to the greater internet you can probably access telegram but I am guessing you don't use it and didn't use it before the ban so you have no need to try to access it now.
Telegram uses proxies and has a setting in the app to attempt to work around blockages.
Not exactly. The issue is that we have let the idiot's take control. We have let the idea of democracy and civility lead us to this mess. Those of us with working brains need to start yelling louder than the morons and tell them to sit down and shut the fuck up because the adults are taking back control.
