You joke, but it honestly feels like we are living in the fallout universe. Billionaires and their bunkers, check. Coprations with far too much power, check. Governments completely taken over by money interests, check....
Put on your critical thinking caps people. Every major technology company in the US is supporting the rise of fascism. All of them. Apple even provided a gold bar to Trump to show just how aligned they are. Boycott them all. The tech oligarchs are out of control.
To make it even worse, a lot (all?) Of that wealth is not even real. So they're hoarding imaginary wealth which they use to keep everyone else from having real material security. The whole system is screwed and we just let it happen. Its quite depressing.
I could not disagree more. This kind of thinking is why the world is messed up. No one wants to make changes, the expect others to make the change for them. We as individuals, acting together as a collective, have to make the changes needed. Politicians are just people who can communicate better than you or I, they don't always know the right path. We have to define that for them.
Apps from the play store can be downloaded using the app store on the phone which can pull from the play store. My bank app worked using microg. Download the plexus database to see the rating https://f-droid.org/packages/tech.techlore.plexus
Not a big deal for me as I customize every phone that I own anyway, so for me I'm just using Lawnchair and that works perfectly for me even on this phone so I don't see an issue with it.
My bank app worked. I was very happy about it. My metro pass app also installed without issue and transferred my pass. Even government apps worked. Microg is useful for sure.
I keep hitting the volume key with my thumb and somehow getting the sound on mute. But its about learning new muscle control :) It would be cool if their were a software update where it would require a double click to activate the sound.
Yeah, same here. If I had to highlight a negative, its the poor placement of the volume keys, esp, because I'm left handed.. But the positives far outweigh the one annoyance. I love this thing. I fwwl like it's actually mine, and not just locked down.
I don't have a problem with Jews just as I don't have a problem with Christians or Muslims or whatever faith. So long as their faith isn't imposing itself upon me or those around me and using force to maintain itself or its delusional goals.
I think the state of Israel has radicalized its people. I don't know what else to say, but they are basically just a religious military cult... When all you produce are hammers everything around them are nails.
I will admit that I am very cynical right now when it comes to multibillion dollar companies. I can also see it as being possible that he (the CEO) does not want his technology to be used for mass surveillance or Autonomous drone swarms. But seeing what we know, how corporations are acting and how they are protecting their own financial interest, this is, after all, capitalism, it would not surprise me if this is just a public facing statement that he is making so that he doesn't lose public support. And privately, he is going to flip and help the US government. And of course Pete Hegeth is just going to say that he compelled them to do it through some law. But again, I am very cynical.
