regular installs of apps by unverified or suspended developers

they can still be installed by

• signing it yourself
• installing via adb
• disabling Google Play Protect

whenever I point this out to the drama queens here, they get hissy

sideloading existed long before mobile OSs

you can

it’s also why apps that can be websites should

This won’t increase security.

I don’t know, man. A signature makes the author of the app that fucks my system pretty clear. That has consequences: apps by bad actors can be pulled.

With an unsigned app, we can’t authenticate the package is untampered, and the author can repudiate any fuckery as unauthorized modifications.

because they know exactly whom the devs are and have their government IDs

They already wrote the free developer account for limited distributions doesn’t require those.

None of that is necessary when installs over Android Debug Bridge bypass verification entirely.

Will Android Debug Bridge (ADB) install work without registration? As a developer, you are free to install apps without verification with ADB.

If I want to modify or hack some apk and install it on my own device, do I have to verify? Apps installed using ADB won’t require verification.

Enforcement only applies to certified Android devices, ie, those certified for and that ship with Play Protect, and even Play Protect can be disabled.

This all seems like a huge nothingburger by the willfully illiterate. Look at these illiterates downvote.

More specifically he proved that you cannot prove that 1+1=2

That’s a misinterpretation of the incompleteness theorem: you should reread it. They did prove 1+1=2 from axioms with their methods.

Big yikes.

kink-shaming

According to those geniuses, an opinion poll that 1+1=5 is valid proof & pinning the label “democracy” on something magically makes it a democracy! It’s a real mystery that a higher proportion of people would give the same answer in a country that harshly punishes dissent.

AI mode is shit, though.

That would require the employer cooking the books to hide income payments they’d otherwise report to IRS & state revenue departments. Often enough, illegal immigrants simply provide an ITIN (proof of work authorization & legality isn’t required to get one) or fake social security number & I-9 documents, so payroll is withheld anyway. That’s easier for the employer & is how I’ve seen it done.

creative use of math to show how much the US would save on benefits

As anyone who’s ever seen a paystub can figure out, illegal immigrants pay for benefits (social security & medicare) they are ineligible to receive, ie, they subsidize everyone else’s benefits. Their payroll withholdings also pay taxes at all levels. So, I’m curious how they figure cutting those subsidies saves.

CSAM

I can’t believe people unironically call it CSAM nowadays, which it isn’t.

The quote isn’t

those who remember the past won’t repeat it

That’s the ol’ Oracle of Delphi phenomenon of misreading the claim: the claim still holds if everyone is doomed. Also, are you claiming MAGA remembers shit?

Not necessarily. It’s called arguing a conclusion to your audience in terms of premises they’ll accept & understand.

The conclusion is “censorship is dangerous”. The premise “fascists are pieces of shit” doesn’t support that. That’s a separate argument entirely.

Moreover, fascists are unlikely to accept that premise. Arguing that is a great way to make fascists stop listening, which people who don’t know how to argue excel at.

they get off on ruining your day cuz

That’s true of everyone, though. Leftists find leftists grating, rigid with their insufferable call-out tactics, fixation on niche issues, clashing priorities, infighting, ease of provocation at obvious bait. We love to troll ourselves & just have a stronger capacity than the right to endure the left.

We need a parody book of the Bible like a Gospel of Charlie Kirk where he preaches empathy is bullshit, school shootings are totally worth right to own guns, and great replacement theory. It’d be as consistent as the rest of the Bible.

Instead of posting that in a way that breaks accessibility, searchability, authenticability, and fault tolerance for no compelling reason while making the web less usable, could OP try at least linking to sources?

or look at this super cool octopus

an awful lot of victims who claimed this independent of each other

That’s a reasonable basis to expect conclusive evidence to exist & search for it. Unless that evidence turns up, we don’t conclusively know.

we know there’s a black book

Do we? There’s

• Epstein black book & story on it
• from USA v. Maxwell, Epstein flight logs & story on it
• from Giuffre v. Dershowitz, case documents & story on unsealing those
• files on the DOJ website

released a while ago. That black book in particular is inconclusive of anything.

Maybe you’re referring to a more damning black book, but the press so far has written that claims it exists come from speculation & myth. It’s possible it exists, but I don’t think we know it.

Anyone else annoyed these stories don’t link to the book?
