Care to elaborate?

…which is precisely what GrapheneOS does?

It is still happening. Although not as bad as it initially appeared.

What can we do? Use GrapheneOS and contact your representatives. That’s pretty much it. But good luck, your reps are likely trying to actively promote locking down the OS.

Yes and?

Is it really that big of a sacrifice to carry a few cards?

Does my eSIM remain intact on the device?

Define “intact”?

How do I get apps without Google Play?

Aurora Store, Drodify, Accrescent, Obtainium, etc.

Can I still attach a Gmail account for notifications without going all in?

If your admin settings allow you yo use a third party app, yes.

What about contacts and message history?

What about them?

Is there a good way to get my password keychain transferred?

I dunno what a “password keychain” is.

What is the status of NFC payments?

Can’t do it. Carry a credit card.

I mean vague nonsensities works pretty well for The Bible.

Which mixtape? 80s? Hip hop?

I mean he was only shitting on some Americans, who were actively opposing him. Not his base. This is much worse because it is all Americans.

I think he’s trying to say “nothing is more important than disarming Iran” but he just does it with his typical clarity and eloquence, without much, if any, thought or consideration of how it might be perceived.

They don’t want you buying them for the same reason they don’t want you buying German or Japanese cars. Its a reasonable expectation for any country to try and protect their local economy.

However the Chinese exploit cheap/slave labor, and in turn we’ve handed them global economic power by allowing our companies (and virtually every other country) to outsource labor to exploit it as well. But that has centralized global manufacturing, which also makes them insanely powerful, and able to manufacture things much more inexpensively.

Add to that government incentives and there’s no way anyone else can compete, because they’re not doing so on an even playing field.

Im sure they will slap that label on it but no, its just a modernization and increased aggressiveness of existing “digital wellbeing”.

LOL it is basically networking over coax cables. Like how your modem at home probably works.

I think one thing we do know about Trump is that he’s extremely easy to manipulate. That’s why people are always kissing his ass and giving him awards. That’s all he wants. Glory and subservience.

I don’t think its an Android issue, its an Apple issue. One that Apple defects have been dealing with since the beginning of iMessage. When you leave iMessage, Apple continues hijacking your messages from other stupid iMessage users to your iMessage account (which you’re no longer using). You would have to log into your Apple account and disable it. And now this appox is spreading into Android. Only there’s no way to disable it, because you don’t even have an Apple account!

Honestly, if you used it, you know that’s where it belongs.

There’s no shortage of other things we can talk about that make them look bad.

I bet they don’t LOL

Ok so it’s:

1. We’re not going to touch the East Wing
2. Just kidding, we destroyed the entire thing
3. We’re going to pay for the whole $400M
4. Nevermind the funding we received, we’re now going to use taxpayer money to fund $400M
5. Just kidding, it’s $1B now

Its a really strange thing to release new hardware and then have an entire presentation about its cloud-based capabilities…
