  • The days of custom Android ROMs are numbered, and Google is to blame

  • Nah… no matter what they do, people - especially Americans, are too lazy and apathetic to care.

    Apathetic is the key word there. And can you really blame Americans for being apathetic? In 2008, Democrats promised to give us socialized healthcare and the people showed up in record numbers. We gave Democrats complete control over the House, Senate, and Executive branch. And what happened? Nothing. They made up countless excuses on why they couldn't help us so our healthcare system stayed as broken as ever.

    Last year, what did Harris promise to do to help us if she won? Nothing. She wouldn't endorse socialized healthcare for all, she wouldn't support free college for all, she wouldn't promise to connect all the major US cities by high speed rail, or to mandate that all working Americans have a minimum of 2 weeks of paid vacation each year + paid sick days, etc.

    US politicians don't give a shit what the American people want. They don't even try to pretend anymore like they will help us. Instead, all they do is claim the other party will be more damaging. So yes, we are apathetic but that is because we live under a corporate dictatorship.

  • In the fascist US, yes. But the EU forced Apple to adopt Usb-C to protect consumer rights to not need to buy completely new cables when they switch to or from Apple so I expect the EU will force Google to let European consumers use their devices however they want to.

  • Reminder that cognitive decline starts at 40. By 70, your mind is mere shadow of what it once was. Yes, even Bernie is a shadow of the man he was when he was 40.

  • mmmm yes undoubtedly

  • It's like most things in America - if you're doing ok then it's great, and if you're not then the rest of the country just pretends you don't exist.

    That truly is the US in a nutshell. The US is fantastic if you are in the top 20% (and you have zero empathy for people you don't know), otherwise this country sucks.

  • Define better. They eat healthier (lower rates of diabetes and obesity), but they also spend less money on cosmetics.

  • Jokes aside, as an American, I wish the US had lost the revolutionary war. Commonwealth territories ended up with socialized healthcare, a far better democracy, and far better labor rights, while the US ended up with fascist oligarchy. No thanks. I'd gladly trade my coffee for tea if it means I get a real democracy instead of a fascist oligarchy

  • Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

    Jump

  • Yeah, so anyway, what can't I get in the Play Store or the App Store that I actually want?

    When I upgraded my Samsung to a OnePlus13, Samsung's app that manages the tag device flat out had an error message telling me that it could only work on Samsung phones. 5 minutes later I found an open source app allowed me to use the Galaxy tag that I paid for on my new phone. Samsung has some of the best engineers in the world so they were 100% lying or intentionally trying to brick my tag device to either force me to buy their overpriced phones...

    And that is just one example. I use tons of open source apps. For almost any useful app you can think of, there is a free open source version. Premium-YouTube? Newpipe is ad-free with all the premium features for free.

  • I am very happy with my One Plus 13 phone. It has better hardware and was at a better price than Samsung's S25.

  • A little, yeah. I grew up hating Stalin and favored Trotsky, but the more I learned about the eastern front the more I have to wonder if the USSR would have survived the Nazi invasion if Stalin hadn't forced them to industrialize so aggressively. Without Stalin, it is possible that the Nazis took Moscow in 1942 and without most of the Wehrmacht stuck on the eastern front, I doubt that the US would have sacrificed a million men to force open a western front. It is possible without Stalin that the Nazis would have ruled Europe for decades.

  • San Diego wants to add car lanes to a dangerous boulevard where a 12 year-old girl was killed.

    Jump

  • The risk of dying on a train doesn't increase based on the length, but crossing a busy intersection becomes exponentially more deadly the more lanes there are

  • Jesus. It is only safe to cross a single 3m lane at a time and this is 6 lanes wide!!!!The risk grows exponentially so instead of being 6x as dangerous, it is closer to 64x more dangerous

  • Nicht wahr. I failed my first Discrete Math exam trying to teach myself using only the provided resources (professor, text book, notes, etc). The only reason I passed with a C was because I was able to watch lectures from better professors on YouTube.

    I have also used YouTube to fix my car and many other things. Old Reddit (corporate social media) was a very valuable resource of knowledge.

    Every single human accomplishment of note was only made possible through social bonds and social collaboration. We need each other. We need tight knit communities, but since so much of the soul of our race has been eroded by capitalist zombie consumerism and the atomization of individuals through car dependent urban sprawl, we are sometimes forced to rely on social media to meet that need.

  • Dieses Meme-Format spricht mich nie so an, wie es beabsichtigt war. Warum ist es falsch, wenn ein Mann eine große Leistung (selbst wenn es nur der dritte Platz ist) mit Leidenschaft und Freude feiert?

  • Some European countries have a 40 hour work week maximum (volunteered overtime is allowed).

    The US is still living in the 1800s when it comes to labor rights so we don't have the freedom of a living wage for 40 hours of work.
