This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Reminds me of getting a notice in Middle School, decades ago, about how a pager was considered "drug paraphernalia"
There was also a big Bloomberg-Era push by the NYPD to arrest any woman carrying condoms on her person, on the grounds that a woman carrying a condom must be a sex worker.
This is a weird advertisement, but I kind of want grapheneOS now.
Been on it for ~2 years and never going back, fuck Google, fuck the government.
I've also been using it for like 2 years but I really want the hardware of something like the Fairphone. A fairphone or something similar with Graphene would be amazing
The Graphene OS people have always been talking about how they eventually intend to develop their own hardware. So, possibly they will make something good eventually.
Well you still bought a Google phone
True, with the intention of installing Graphene OS on it. No other options.
Been on it for about 19 months now, it's what Android should be.
I have an iPhone since the first one and I wanna try it to.
The police: 'We've encountered a difficulty with out paid spying software. Welp it must be just the criminals.'
Without? Even with paid spying software is hard, as far as data forensics go. Going with Pegasus and the likes, you never know, just reboot every 2 hours if you don't mind the hassle.
I'm pretty sure they just misspelled our as out
pretty much. The original article says that if they have a pixel they have to ask for a warrant
This implies searching other phones don't require warrants?
Merci per la idea de negoci. (/s)
I was very confused why I could read this without knowing what language it was lol. Catalan is interesting
It’s been influenced by both spanish and french cultural erasure to the point modern catalan is quite similar and readable to people who speak Spanish or French. (Though still quite a distinct language).
Glances at my new Pixel, Welp, I guess I ain't ever goin' to Catalonia. Not that I was planning to go there anyway.
***Tinfoil conspiracy: Maybe this a scare tactic to keep the British out of Spain.
Install Graphene
become a dealer
"Feds"
checks Wikipedia page for Spain
Government: "Unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy"
🧐
(Sorry for nitpicking lol 😅)
But serious tho:
I kinda hate these weird associations. Its like arresting people who wear glasses because intellectual rebels wear glasses? (Pol Pot?)
Like can't someone just use a phone in peace? Most Pixel users don't even use Graphene OS.
Hey you know what, drug dealers drink water. Lets arrest people who drink water!
It's supposed to be kind of sort of federal(ish) (federalish enough, in theory, to keep Catalonia and Euskadi happy enough that we won't want to leave). "States" are called autonomías (autonomies) and have their own government, laws, and institutions, though they still have to obey the Spanish government and most of its laws. It isn't really working.
The article is still wrong when it uses "feds", though, because the cops doing this are the mossos d'esquadra, the Catalan autonomic police, not the "federal(ish)" policía nacional (the Spanish police proper) or guardia civil (despite the name, the military Spanish police, a relic from Franco's dictatorship, like most of the country and its institutions).
If she floats, she's a witch and we'll burn her at the stake.
