Remember that interview with Don Lemon where Musk got heated over censorship?

Me too.

I mean. They could go with google and most ideally change nothing, or stay with the open source project and try to cut out a slice of the appstore pie for themselves.

Google can only do that if they can maintain grip on the market. This requires the likes of Samsung, who also contribyte to android, to move with them to their then propiatary solution. Google is not going to win this just with their Pixels.

Google closing android would ruffle a lot of feathers so it definitely wouldn’t be a given they would come out of that on top.

Apple has no problem existing outside of Google’s sphere of influence. And honestly if the android market would split and you’d get legitimately google-less phones with large app stores that google doesn’t control that would be fairly beneficial if you ask me.

Trump: starts trade war

Trade partners leave the chat.

Trump: surprised pikachu

If google where to close android it’ll undoubtedly be forked. Pretty sure the likes of Graphene and Calyx will be fine for the forseeable future.

Yeah, agree. Hence the crime against humanity stance.

Data you get from people by using torture is automatically invalid, especially when it comes to getting people to “admit” things.

When are we finally going to consider this the war crime/crime against humanity it is?

As much as I’d love to take this at face value, people taking a run with what an AI told them is highly problematic.

Explain to me me how “someone told you in private” would ever apply to this Derek character leaking a group chat. What is private about a group chat?

Obviously I’m talking about the guy that forwarded juicy messages someone sent him privately to his buddies in this leaked group chat.

Even though I don’t think my original comment leaves much wiggle room for interpretive play, maybe I could have explained better. But maybe you’re a bit too eager to find people to recreationally chastise.

I think you think I’m agry with the wrong person. Who do you think my statement was directed against?

My problem was not with Derrick?

The abuse of trust is the problem there, not the trust itself…

There’s no scenario where you’re not the a-hole if you’re going to parrot something someone else told you in private, elsewhere.

I’ve definitely got some bleak ass humor with some friends in private but forwarding messages people sent you in private to other people and group chats? Really?

I was wondering why we haven’t seen any actual data on how they’ve saved the US money yet. The answer is likely that they didn’t.

We really need to stop calling it “brokering peace”. Trump just wants Ukraine to give Putin what he wants.

Those are rookie numbers. Gotta pump those numbers up.

Yes. Let this house collapse. Today if at all possible.

now i throw my trash out the window.

You don’t believe not using paper towels was a net positive so now you choose to create and by extention live in a pigsty? I’m not following.

Dare I assume you are aware we have “industry” because we consume?

I’m aware of this, but it still mostly just something for people speculate on. Something people buy, sit on, and then hopefully sell with a profit.

Bitcoin was supposed to be a decentralized money alternative, but the amount of people actually, legitimately, buying things with crypto are highly negligible. And honestly even if it did serve it’s actual purpose, the cumulative power consumption would still be a point of debate.
