Member states are null, they can develop their reskins.

They're already developing with google/apple. What more do you need to know... They shouldn't even be developing anything, but now the point is about trying hard so they rise to "sanctity" and give us an alternative.

There's no propaganda, the propaganda is theirs using children yet again as customary. Serious people merely read the room, because when they resort to games to try repeatedly pass obvious mass surveillance, that tells us what they're coming for. It's obvious.

80% of android users will freely install whatever APK from wherever.

I should care because? Do they care about me not wanting google shoved in every aspect of my life?

This was basically guaranteed. We don't fight hard enough

Android forks

Soon to be locked out from participating in society because of play integrity, digital IDs and age verification. The EU is very likely to use strictly Apple/Google, the very monopolists they "despise". Don't give me the "just go to the post office by foot".. I could also "technically" live in a cave, I guess. Man stfu, your bullshit doesn't stick here.

So I'll be back at the end of the year, be proven right and you got your pay and your karma anyway.

I don't agree. While you may give google some upfront money for hardware, when buying new. Installing a degoogled OS effectively removes that device from their claws. Since their revenue from hardware sales is much less than their real business which is data gathering/surveilance capitalism and advertisement network. In one year your data generates them roughly the amount of the retail price of a smartphone. So even buying a pixel to remove google, makes a dent on them.

Their hardware is atleast more secure and allows unlocking. Which is worth paying for and none other manufacturer even considers. That's the only reason GOS is pixel only. And the reason I would give google some slack. Just a tiny bit of slack.

They'll choose AI to micromanage us because of the climate.

They only have to win once, we have to win everytime

I'm sure gizmodo has it covered

hold your farts. think of those poor private jets and private yachts!

it's gamed and rigged. there you go.

welcome

Embarassing it was ever anything besides 'pervert glasses'

Yes Ford. That guy was pretty sweet. When the assembly line was first implemented by him. An innovation that eventually lead to unchecked industrial growth and waste production, greed intensified.

On a surface level. Yes there were many good innovations, or rather many good business opportunities. On one hand the health care is better, on the other hand no effort seems to have been made to prevent people from becoming sick in the first place. It's a catch I guess.

Anyway those innovations will become annulled when no one will be able to afford it.

GrapheneOS is GOAT.

There's also AXP.OS

Really, after all this years of computer technology and the internet, what good came out of it? That it can outweigh the bad.

People are dumber and misinformed. Social media is a cesspit of fakeness and product advertisements. Software improves profitability and takes away jobs. Unparalleled potential for mass surveillance.

Use Vanadium. On android, any Firefox based is lacking either in the sandbox or fingerprinting mitigation, plus extentions make you more fingerprintable and can possibly track you. Even on desktop they're behind. Chromium based is much more optimized and secure.

I saw on GrapheneOS forum Vanadium is the better option, with Brave a second alternative. Also tor browser on android is not officially from the tor project and suffers from firefox android implementation. Browsers are extremely complex, they're made to run external code in the wild securely. Quite an endeavor.

They'd sell accounts with other people's ID? Those will inevitably get leaked. So for example your ID will get leaked and used and you'll be the one to face the consequences. This is not new at all.

judging by the amount of brain cell subtracting arguments on the comments, I guess NYM is onto something.

Just a price for doing business in the eu. They don't care. EU doesn't care.

Where's the antitrust on play integrity? Why use evil monopolist's wallet app for european citizen digital id bullshit?

Give me a break.
