Vulnerable my aunts fanny. They aggressively terrorize everywhere they go. Go everywhere armed to the teeth and are not in any way shape or form threatened with anything or anyone that could harm them sufficiently to put them into a threatened category. This is just google telling us whose side they are on
This is exactly why sideloading is very very important.
Good puppy dogs doing Dear Leader's bidding. History will remember!
Isn't ICE one of the biggest budget of the US now? How is that vulnerable?
Do we know yet that what ICE is doing even legal? (kidnapping, detaining, etc) I haven't followed closely enough to be sure of that. Does the actual police just sit by and watch?
we know it's not legal, but who's going to be do anything about it?
They cheer and provide support. ACAB = All Cops Are Bastards
1312 is another good way of subvert messaging because it can be mistook as the international and area codes for Chicago, IL
Going into an apartment complex, arresting everyone there including children, including US citizens, without a warrant? That's illegal. But there's nothing you can do about it except sue them afterwards.
They're totally vulnerable! Just aim for the head!
Ew
Someone recommended Kagi in another thread yesterday and that night I finally became 100% google free. Search was the last big hurdle. I was literally the biggest google fanboy. I had google home devices, google wifi, I wanted all their devices, had all their services, everything was set up and integrated. De-googling was fucking hard but I did it and I'm super proud and I've learned so much about how tech works setting up my replacement services and devices. Fuck you Google.
How was search and not the usual maps the hardest? The search is what I feel like most people switch first.
Idk I started using organicmaps (comaps now) long long ago. I guess I don't have a great fundamental understanding of search. Are not most other search engines just hopping on the back of google search engines? I honestly don't know. Its not an area I've spent a lot of time learning about - or maybe I'm just a backwards dude haha.
No, that's fair play! I think you were just ahead of the curve with ditching google maps :D I use a combo of OSMAnd, Comaps, and Magic Earth (not open source, but has live traffic data).
Nisce I haven't heard of OSMAnd or Magic Earth I'll have to poke around!
I cannot say how much I Wish this would be the onion..
Do not let Google escape this, ever. Cancel all payments to them. YouTube Premium, YouTube subscriptions, etc.
Calling masked, armed, armored thugs and terrorists with a disregard for the law a "vulnerable group" is a bit thick, isn't it?
Do rich cowards that give other rich assholes fealty often do what their rulers tell them?! 1111?
Any web based alternatives? App stores aren’t needed here and it’s a lot harder to stop a website.
aaand that's why we need to be able to install apps without their vetting.
This practice is by nature anti-competitive. All they're creating is a monopoly covered up by a promise of a walled garden.
As such, this shouldn't even be legal under todays jurisdictions.
they always get a pass though. we are the ones who have to move our asses with this situation.
I mean... You only need the APK 👀
great for a very small subset of people, lets ask an Abuela to side load an apk. its what makes these decisions by google/apple so fucking awful, they are direct attack on civilians.
for now
I already switched from Chrome to FF, I guess my phone needs a better OS next.
I miss the days of just needing a url
and an RPK
So this could get much more serious if they start clamping down on the comm tools we take for granted. Between this and the incoming sideloading block - all of a sudden the most paranoid fears of Stallman's don't seem nearly as far fetched.
The irony is so rich.
To anyone that had doubts about governments putting restrictions on app stores, here is your proof. The level of power the current situation grants this duopoly is excessive and dangerous.
I thought we had all the proof we needed when Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai were snuggling up to Trump at dinners and the inauguration
Oh no, vulnerable 🥺 they need DEI? They need to be a protected class? 🥺
Surveillance is suddenly wrong when it's the peasants surveiling wannabe samurai? 🥺
Can I just be "that guy" and point out the CEO of Google is "Sundar Puchai"?
Who do you think Trump is coming for, you fucking idiot? It's not guys like me named "David".
I hate this. I hate that they are targeting "minorities", or Hispanics, or Indian folks... But many people in charge who are part of these groups don't even care. They think they are special. You're money doesn't make you immune, you complete goddamn waste of oxygen.
We're trying to fucking help you. Stop condemning fellow human beings for the sake of profits. You are damning your children, and your family. You are selling them for gains. We hate you, and so do your children.
Rich Brahman caste Indians, or similar believe they are the ones most similar to rich white people. At least if you looked into Indian caste system, they are notoriously conservative and probably racist too. Usha, is also part of it
The 1 million dollar question: Would I be able to side load it with the new Google developer registration rules?
lol
