  • That's not really an Android problem, that's rooting (or on iphones - jailbreaking) problem. Stock android, just like your stock iPhone, should not have such problems, so it's very disingenuous for you to not mention anything about you rooting/hacking/modifying your device and just saying "android bad, iPhone good", not very engineer-like of you. Be more objective next time and skip the narrative-bending

  • I guess it's refreshing to find out it's not just US constantly leaking military secrets

  • just accept being filmed at all times in public?

    Funny you say that. There was a YouTube channel (that also spawned those NPC meme videos) that randomly went up to people and started recording them without context/saying anything. The idea was to bring attention to the fact that you're being recorded in public spaces constantly, by bazillion cameras around

    Do something interesting and you might find yourself online by one of those cameras

  • Fitting pose

  • Judging by the surveys In Eastern Europe, people prefer socialism having lived through both

    I'll repeat what I said before. Failed countries are not a good example. People seek something better, and back when they weren't broken, they had it better, so naturally that implies to them that socialism is better. This is awfully flawed logic - a logical fallacy.

    most people don't have that choice in the first place.

    I don't see why not. I was slightly below average in middle school, yet I got a free spot in university. Again, just because somewhere else education or whatever is broken, does not inherently mean it's the fault of capitalism.

    We, the public, barely know what's up, but at least the pegasus has been documented, which targeted iPhone users

  • You're most definitely not an engineer if you could not figure out how to install a banking app on Android phone. Rest of the humanity already figured that out.

  • Surely this affects only some very new version rarely anyone plays, and not the good versions all the modpacks are built upon?

  • To me it appears they are right, it appears they fucking mag dumped into his limp corpse

  • I love how "After Trump won" is a legit basepoint when everything went to shit, even if unrelated (AI was going to happen regardless of politics)

  • Here's something to think about: Are most people incapable of living in capitalism and would fare better in socialism, or would most people feel like their growth has stagnated in socialism and are basically surviving with their basic needs being met, but not really thriving? Do you think humans by nature are lazy, or competitive? Do you think humans by nature want to constantly grow, experience new things, etc. or stay in a village?

    You say I have superiority complex. I say I choose something a majority would choose too (which by logic invalidates superiority argument). This is democracy, isn't it?

  • False. A majority of people who lived in the Eastern Block (except for a few countries like Baltics or Poland) say that life was better during socialism, every poll that comes out confirms this. The people who are so afraid of socialism are the 90s kids who have been indoctrinated in the "horrors of gommunism" while completely ignoring the very real horrors of capitalism.

    Think about what you just said. "Back when we had more money, life was better than now when east is poor after wars and collapse".

    It's funny that you excluded the countries that are not considered broken.

    Work mobility was very much a thing in the Eastern Block except during exceptional times such as WW2. Housing in the USSR was actually primarily accessed through your work union, not through the government, so it was up to you where you wanted to work and therefore live

    You could not choose the housing. Queues were often unrealistically long everywhere around, so "freedom to move" was often only on paper. Some cities around were straight up blocked from "peasants", including one nearby me. It's not as smooth and easy as you describe it, I have way more freedom now in capitalism

    I've also lived in a smaller village, and many people are forced out of there by the economic situation of not being able to find any job because capitalism moves all jobs to the big city. Are you purposefully lying, or just misinformed?

    This also happened in the union. Where do you think the masses for popping industry cities came from? So many dead villages lying around. Few years ago I traveled to the place my parents grew up in (but were forced to abandon due to jobs moving to city) and it was hard to find, almost forgotten and overtaken by nature. Weird argument, and on top of that to say I'm purposefully lying? Lmao even.

    So, like a socialist country, a bunch of countries imitating socialist urban design, and another socialist country? Nothing to do with political spectrum?

    These countries with good urban planning have vastly different ideologies and political systems. What was Ancient Rome, capitalistic or socialistic? Urban planning rarely has anything to do with what party is currently at the government. They're often independant systems even where they just allocate the budget and "ok, go do your best".

    The European urban planning mostly played out before words like socialism or democracy existed.

    Why are you so hurt by people having a right to retirement pensions, worker rights, extremely high unionization rates, and guaranteed employment?

    Because the people who lived thru socialism have this "I deserve everything, give me all basic needs without me having to put anything back into the society" mindset while their retirement pensions are non-existent because socialist states don't survive long.

    I barely became an adult by the time it collapsed, but it's still noticeable how full of themselves "boomers" are.

    The uncomfortable truth for you is that capitalism works more like competition. That was not a problem back then, but if now you know/feel like you can't compete with people around you, then yes, you will get stuck, left behind and will live miserably, but is that a problem with the system, or you? Get your ass up, start studying robotics, get a degree, and you'll do just fine, if your brain works.

  • I'm aware your comment is very likely a joke, but I still got triggered.

    Isn't if funny how people born in Capitalism wants socialism, but people born in socialism want (balanced, not late stage) capitalism, yet both consider themselves leftists?

    Guaranteed housing

    See image above. You can't choose. The house is given to you wherever the government wants you to work till you kick the bucket. You felt more like a slave in socialist state than in capitalistic one.

    human-centered urban planning organized around moving on foot and in public transit

    Like China, Half of capitalistic EU, and North Korea? This has nothing to do with any political spectrum and was commonly done due to historical factors or resource/car availability.

    universal healthcare, free education

    Well, just because there is a one country that managed to screw it up, does not mean it cannot be part of capitalism. See: Rest of the world

    abolition of unemployment

    Depends on how you look at it. I'm sure there is zero unemployment rates in concentration camps too.

    defeat of Nazism

    Turns on US news

  • You detect moldiness with mouth?

  • But are they legally not allowed to talk about positive side effects?

  • Ahh yes, the famous left wing authoritarian centric planning government Soviet Russia

  • Lol no. USSR by definition was not communist, only by it's name. Look up what communism actually is. It has no central government for starters. This is why it's hard for me to even refer to USSR as communists, they were a socialist state.

    The S in USSR is "Socialist". You could say that Communism is the end goal (stateless, classless), and socialism is the transitional stage, but USSR never reached communism, they only had a party that called themselves communist party of socialist state

  • For your information, Russia invaded European country. This would be closer to Venezuela seizing US tanker, not US seizing Venezuela's

  • So, outdated Wikipedia?
