If I understand well, even if you were able to install F-droid through the store (which you can’t because Google doesn’t like it), you won’t be able to install apps with F-droid anyway if they implement this.

You say you can tell what I’m downloading? Mullvad says otherwise.

Again, I never called you a shill. You just made it all up yourself. You just said it yourself you’re not even disagreeing with my precision. And yet you still cling to the delusion that this precision was an attack somehow and used it as justification to insult me multiple times.

Just because I didn’t return those insults doesn’t mean I’m going to keep taking them. There is no point repeating myself any further. You’re blocked now. You seem more interested in attacking and insulting an imaginary version of myself so you won’t miss me anyway.

All I did is expand on the other negative side effects of this measure that weren’t mentioned so people know that the consequences might much worse than what you lead on. This is by no means an accusation, more like a much needed precision as whether you like it your not your statement was downplaying the consequences Google’s actions even if you weren’t aware of it at the time.

You immediately took that as a personal attack and accusation of being a shill. Go read back my original comment and see I did nothing of the sort and simply provides additional info. I’m getting pretty tired of those poorly disguised and uncalled for insults you’ve been throwing my way ever since too.

Go sleep over it and read this all again with a rested head.

You say that people who use degoogled phones will be unaffected by this measure and downplayed the impact those measures will have on them. My point is that they will be hurt by it regardless.

If Google makes side loading of apps impossible unless you have a degoogled phone, projects that need side loading to function like F-Droid and other open source apps that do things Google doesn’t like will see their already small user base collapse to only the niche audience that has a degoogled phone. I don’t expect those projects and apps to maintain the level of support they currently have if it is for such a reduced audience.

As a bare minimum it is a blatant attempt by Google to gain even more control over the entire Android ecosystem and I would absolutely not say that we should wait and see where this is going like you did.

That will still significantly hinder the development of independent apps if only a small niche proportion of people can install them.

Does it work with more than two?

Calling them by their class because you don’t remember either

What is the cat standing on?

The average voter doesn’t understand the concept of externalities.

They said “Former Antifa”. That means he’s full “Fa” now. So yes, he is probably an ICE thug.

I feel like there is a divide in MAGA. One part is elitist rich capitalists who want to be able to exploit as much of the country and its people as possible, as unhindered as possible and while giving the least possible back to the community, and the poorer, less educated people who fall for the “culture war” distraction.

Trump won’t win over the latter group by removing Obamacare and this group far outnumbers the former.

This is s bummer because we need people who will refuse to do what Trump is asking the military to do and resist him.

Any market bubble is good when you have access to privileged information to know when to sell in time.

This is crazy. Next thing you’re going to tell me the employees actually keep their full salaries for themselves and don’t give you back most of it?

Fortunately they are currently only equipped with non lethal capabilities. So it’s going to be fun to watch the consequences of someone hacking into them and people to realize how much of a bad idea this was

“Today, at my direction, every member of the joint force, at every rank, is required to take a PT test twice a year, as well as meet height and weight requirements twice a year, every year of service,” he said.

So he’s going to use the BMI to tell whether someone is obese or not. BMI is great for statistics, but terrible for assessing individuals. A lot of military guys do bodybuilding and would be assessed as “obese” by the BMI even though they are fitter than most.

For example: I work out, have no visible fat, can run 10k under 50 minutes and still fall right into the “overweight” category because I lift weights. And I don’t even consider myself particularly big.

What about the fat president?
