  • Motorola's 2027 flagships will officially support GrapheneOS

  • I'm neither a politician nor a civil servant, and if I were, as a leftist, I'd be more threatened by Trump having my data than Xi Jinping.

    Do I just keep repeating this or...?

    Edit: yeah, as yourself point out: the threat China poses is giving your data to your government. lol

  • Easy target for Iranian missiles. Plus Israel is a demographically sinking ship.

    Seems like a horrible business decision. I wonder if politics or corruption are involved.

  • There's two sides but three teams; don't forget the centrists forever pulling for the right.

  • What are the odds that it filters down?

    I'll pick up a cheap android and put Lineage on it before I buy another flagship phone.

  • That's the point: I don't even know the name of the Chinese agency I would even theoretically need to worry about.

  • I'll take my chances with the CCP over ICE any fucking day of the year.

    We are always under more threat from our own governments than a foreign one and I do not live in China or China-aligned country. I'm safer with my data in Beijing than in Redmond.

    And that's the worst case scenario. Likely, it's enough of a win for China to have an OS that the US doesn't have backdoors into without China needing their own.

  • Yes.

  • Are there any descent open source dating apps/communities?

    Jump

  • I think it does stop that because people would know how they're being manipulated and not participate.

    I think the the fairer argument is that being open source doesn't get people to use it, and, since people want to be where everyone else is, they'll go to apps with marketing budgets and no requirement to learn how to federate your instance or whatever the fuck.

  • Violence can be an effective strategy.

    Let them cool data centers with the tears of the Martin Luther King Jr that white supremacists invented.

  • Open source means you can see how maliciously and constantly you are fucked over by the app.

    Honestly, I think most dating apps--owned by a single company--are probably breaking laws, and if they're not, we need to write some more.

    At least we can do an anti-trust case against Match:

    Match Group, Inc.[...] owns and operates the largest global portfolio of popular online dating services including

    • Tinder
    • Match dot com
    • Meetic
    • OkCupid
    • Hinge
    • Plenty of Fish
    • Azar, and other dating global brands.

    Jump

  • The reason sports and ESPN are so valuable is because demand to watch a game expires immediately when the game ends. That means ESPN can charge what it wants because it controls the feed.

    Imagine a world where people were just as happy to watch an old sportsball game as they are to watch an old episode of Mad Men. ESPN would be nothing.

  • ESPN is (was?) a big chunk of what you pay for cable TV, too, and I don´t think you can a la carte it out. (And yes, simple solution: stop paying for cable TV.)

  • It's like a lot of things. There is a point where quality is no longer distractingly bad for most people, and you can spend more for higher quality and you appreciate it for a little while then forget about it until you go back to the lower quality. But if you spend enough time with the low quality stuff, it bothers you less.

  • Nope. They paid a shitton of money for the appendices of Lord of the Rings, but nothing from the Simarilion. As far as canon goes, it's fan fiction.
