  • I thought the RCS thing was also happening on stock Android? Wasn't it more of a carrier thing?

  • Ask yourself this question that I made up to rationalize my own, incredibly stupid and naive beliefs. It made me feel a lot better.

  • At 11:45, the cop explains to them that because they didn't avoid a stationary object in the road, they are at fault according to California law. So their insurance might not even cover it.

    Tesla bros: 0

    Easily avoidable object in the road: 2

  • “He was most certainly an edgelord, an irony guy,” one friend said. (Edgelord is online-speak for someone who likes to espouse edgy, nihilistic views). Asked about the inscription on the bullet, the friend said: “Josh was an edgelord who wanted someone to get blamed. I think he tried his best to write something goofy … to rile people up.”

    Also, the elephant in the room here is that only ICE Detainees were shot. Why would you write "anti-ICE" on the ammo and then shoot the people that are in ICE custody? None of it makes sense unless you view it through one of two lenses:

    1. What you're saying. FBI tampered with evidence.
    2. The shooter wrote it themselves and did it to rile people up like his friends suggest.

    Either way, it's being used to create/push a narrative that leftists are the violent members of society and our mainstream media is not challenging it at all.

  • Yeah, the real pulse of American politics is a small city in the south that counted 50k votes towards its mayoral election. New York City ain't shit.

  • What motive would a leftist possibly have for murdering ICE detainees?

  • Progressives Fearknow Schumer Will ‘Cave’ Again in Budget Fight

  • The fact that the thread existed before Charlie Kirk was killed is kinda wild. But it's a pretty obvious scenario to come up with if you're drumming up conspiracy theories:

    1. Groypers hate Charlie Kirk and have for years. They'd make for an easy patsy.
    2. Israel is demonstrably capable of something like this. There's no limit to what Israel would do to achieve their goals.
    3. The motive is there. He's already served his initial purpose. Now that fascism has gone full mask-off in the west, there isn't as much of a need for someone who dog whistles. Charlie Kirk is arguably more valuable as a martyr for white men than he is alive. Especially if he was having doubts about Israel and that was somehow relayed to Israeli intelligence.

    With that being said, I think you're right. Charlie Kirk was simply killed because he was unlikeable and had many legitimate enemies. I think that Israel and Trump would have benefited far more if the shooter had been Palestinian or Mexican, for instance. If anything, they're probably kicking themselves for not coming up with the idea first.

  • Pretty fucking funny that the guy who said that public executions should be brought back and sponsored by Coca-Cola is going to have his funeral effectively sponsored by State Farm Insurance.

  • Crazy, so do they shine a laser at the glass and detect vibrations from speech on the other side?

  • This is going to be used as a censorship cudgel

  • And if you have conversations in person, it's best to have it somewhere without phones or a TV, or any other IoT device. Hell, it sounds crazy, but even wifi signals can theoretically listen to you.

  • Read the rest of the discussion. To me, you come across as part of a mob trying to defend Russian state media.

    And I'm saying that's a problem with your reading comprehension; not the content of my argument. Especially because I never defended Russian state media. I too think state media is bad. The difference between you and I is that I'm not fooled by the corporate proxy that is western media.

    I'm not arguing that all of western media is perfect; much of it is corrupt (especially in the US, but that is not all of the west). But not all of it is that bad.

    Again, go on...

    I am aware that making sense of that diversity requires critical thought, which is in increasingly short supply in recent years.

    And yet you seem to struggle to explain how it's so "diverse." What's diverse about it? Who are the non-corrupt Western sources? Please tell me, since I'm so stupid 😕

  • but that's not all of western media.

    Please, go on. I'd love to hear more.

    I still don't get why so many people here are so desperate to defend the state-controlled media of a brutal dictatorship.

    ...or just accuse me of something I wasn't doing. You're definitely someone who approaches things in good faith, unlike the Russians.

  • You cannot be serious. You know Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post, right? What do you think is happening here?

    The only difference between Russian State media and our media, is that the western ruling class is savvy enough to launder their propaganda through privately owned media.

  • That's the point of the original post though. Google is starting to make development of these custom ROMs more difficult. If Google ever decided to lock down the bootloader for new Pixels, Graphene would be in a world of hurt. I also use GrapheneOS and love it, but who knows if it will be alive two or three years from now.

  • Agreed 100%

    Also, I hate this narrative that, "if only we got rid of the one insane man (Netanyahu), this nightmare would be over."

    Israel has had the same goals of ethnic cleansing Palestine for decades, long before Netanyahu entered the picture. Removing him would treat a symptom, but not the problem itself.

  • Been thinking a lot about this. I think it's going to be more prison labor. New crimes will be invented and punishments for existing crimes will become more severe in order to put more people behind bars.

    Given the way things are going, i think that the homeless will be an initial target, but I think we're also going to see an unprecedented criminalization of our children. Children already have fewer rights in school, so it will be easy to transfer that idea to the workplace. States like Iowa have already started rolling back child labor laws. The path ahead of the USA looks dark.

  • I bought a Flint 2 GL-MT6000 and I've been pretty happy with the choice.

    • its currently on sale for $125
    • it comes with a custom version of open-wrt, but it can be flashed to a different firmware
    • easily purchaseable through their site
    • I have not had signal issues in my place, but YMMV
    • sustained speeds are at least 500Mb/s
    • supports features like VLAN, which is part of why I bought it

    Side note: Flint 3 just came out, but I'm not familiar enough with it to recommend.
