It's a yearly grant, and it's also used to buy better cleaning equipment so will have a longer-lasting impact. It's also £1m which is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

I'm sorry, are you trying to suggest that Google is now going to store and track every Pixel user's biometrics? Why would you think that? What's changed now that suggests Google would even try that?

T'was instant for me. I'm pretty sure Google fixed the "Check for Updates" button years ago so that it forces your device to jump to the front of the queue when you tap it.

In fairness, he's announced he will sue Trump and that presumably takes time.

Imagine feudalism but with modern surveillance, propaganda and technology.

America is in for a rough decade.

Also looking in from the outside, it seems obvious to me that the 'plan' is to manufacture sufficient crises and push people just enough that Trump can invoke the Insurrection Act and "indefinitely delay" the midterms and future elections.

What I really don't get is, this one man seems to have total unchecked power? Americans go on and on about being 'free', not having a king, but their president has more power than any UK prime minister or modern king has ever had, and it goes completely unchecked. Recently in the UK, both Boris Johnson and Liz Truss (our UK-equivalent populist grifters) were ousted from the government for overreaching and lying, but there's nothing to deal with Trump? How the heck has the US gotten in this situation? You would've expected the democrats to put checks in place to stop this, given Trump's insurrection.

I just. don't. get it.

What crime has he committed? I think his primary crime is running for governor because he’s done such a bad job. What he’s to that state is like what Biden did to this country. And that’s pretty bad. It’s the wrong philosophy. Thousands, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, many of them prisoners, they’re taking up your healthcare, they’re taking up your space in schools, they’re taking up your hospital. And in many cases, they’re criminals. And we have to do something about it. And we’re doing something about.

Jesus fucking Christ what have you Americans gotten yourselves into? Do we need to pop across the pond and sort you out again?

The state of Android journalism. Nothing but engagement-bait like this, and "exclusive scoops" of unreleased features that never see the light of day.

Israeli forces would be expected to do this in order to uphold the government's blockade, and the flotilla crew would know that before going in (that's why they had prerecorded messages ready). That doesn't make it any less awful, but they accepted this risk.

But if this goes sour for Thunberg, it's going to be a global shitstorm that might finally break through the Israel defenders. I hope nothing happens to the crew and they're returned safely, and I hope this brings more publicity to what's occurring.

The studio ditched Roiland as soon as the game was released. He only voiced one gun if I recall (the main one), but wasn't involved in production or writing at all except for a bit of improv presumably.

He also had no involvement in the dlc and the gun he voiced didn't feature.

The original game had many other guns with many other voices from other, more famous comedians.

Don't think there's as much "drama" here as the internet wants there to be. The studio got a clean break from him as soon as it could, and it seems to be going fine.

What a shock.

Bit hyperbolic, don't you think? Rooted/Custom ROM users are so tiny, and they typically use security vulnerabilities to obtain root access. It's not exactly surprising that Google closes those vulnerabilities when it can.

Google can't exactly make root access and custom ROMs easier to use in 2025. It isn't 2010 anymore - as soon as rooting becomes easy again, and people are bypassing security measures you know the big orgs, copyright holders and children's apps will complain to the media and suddenly Google has a shitstorm to deal with.

Just wait until they find another vulnerability, lol.

It is kinda funny watching the American Exceptionalism finally crumble before our eyes. Shame most Americans aren't reflective enough to realise what's happening.

So that's three deals that Starmer has now made with countries/blocs that the Tories promised they'd do and failed to deliver.

Really feels nice having a government that actually wants to govern.

I think that gif has been sped up too

Damn, you're an older millennial.

Do you think this is a normal comment to post?

UK here, same shitty system, though it's supposedly good at ensuring mostly-stable governments. We had a hung parliament in 2010 and it was actually pretty decent (in the sense that the Lib Dems were able to hold back the Tories' more aggressive policies), but having true proportional representation would significantly change the UK political spectrum.

Ironically I was thankful for FPTP in our 2024 election because it capped the power that far-right parties like Reform UK could take. We now have a super strong Labour majority and 4.5 more years of them pushing through progressive policies without much opposition. Proportional representation would slow down progress in this way, because the parliament would have to constantly find mitigations and compromises. That's actually a really good quality of a government, but the UK is in a poor state right now and needs investment desperately and quickly!

Unfortunately most people here are in their early twenties and have yet to learn about the flaws of FPTP. Sadly this was probably their most important election and they fucked it up.
