“glasshole” all over again - guess it’s too long already since google flopped with this.
engineers and the military talked about space junk for obvious reason, but no one lamented working satellites because the antagonist celeb of the month launched them into space.
early millennial. it’s just funny how many ppl start to become critical about “space junk” since they realized that “twitter man bad” has some of them, ignoring, how dependent they are on all that stuff flying around there. love your sidestep to the current day topic, tho.
i remember when i was a kid, i was hiking with my parents and we spent a night on about 2500m and looking up i obviously had a great view of the cosmos BUT i also could see some satelites moving and even the then MIR space station. i was impressed that “we” are actually up there for everyone down here to see. i guess the current generation want’s a pristine night sky AND 24/7 internet, gps and tv.
A very elaborate way to say „I like to shit on apple because I can’t even come up with an original online identity“, get a life already, no one cares about your 2012 style brand flame war.
„Now that we’ve established that Apple collects and uses your data to serve ads, does it sell your data too? Turns out the answer is No, Apple doesn’t sell your data to third-party advertisers. The Cupertino giant possesses the exclusive rights of showing you ads on the App Store and other apps. This means your data is used by Apple to show ads, but not sold to any other advertisers.“
Now leave.
pretty nice stuff, too bad one has to by a certain phone sold by google to take advantage of it.
thank you for reading AND counting them.
add another 100 or wait for a sale and you can go home with an SE. new pixels are within the same price ranges as iphones, depending the configuration.
i’ve been on two instances since last fall: one mastodon, one pleroma.
on the mastodon one i found out by accident, that i was “shadowbanned” from it’s own public timeline. inquiring why this happend, the mods didn’t told me. when i asked then that i would like to know what i did “wrong” and if they could lift this, they said “no”. i deleted my account after that.
the pleroma one was even worse because literally on day one i was zerged by some american internet rightwingers because i posted something they didn’t agree with. i deleted my account after that.
what do you suggest, how many times should i move/delete my account until i found an instance that at least gives me the twitter treatment instead of just doing random policy?
proton suite. i’m using it since 2016 and never looked back.
well, no. the video is not so much about “apple bad” but about cherrypicking and leaving out inconvenient points on both sides to make the message of the video work. no one here (but you) brought that kind of sentiment up.
i have nothing against him and i’m glad snowden did, what he did, but just because he was “in the loop” over a decade ago does not make a recommendation today a big selling point unless for some reason he still has access to the newest nsa tech from his russian exile.
“nearly anonymous on custom ROMs” - you really believe that, don’t you?
that’s great! now tell me how i can install grapheneos on the samsung device i just got because i don’t want to spend more than 200 bucks on a phone?
ps.: don’t bother. the app of my bank is not supported. and it’s a major european one.
i’ve read the transcript and it’s a superficial, biased video about how grapheneos is better than ios because … well, because they say so, leaving out all the inconvenient stuff.
so i just browsed through the transcript. the first segment is a political topic about how apple is censoring the appstore on request of the chinese central government from a few years ago and how bad it is, conveniently ignoring that google runs a dedicated, ccp-friendly version of google - https://www.npr.org/2018/08/02/634827587/google-testing-a-censored-search-engine-just-for-china / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_China
it continues to say that android is not google and can be used without google and that there are alternative appstores and that apple does not have this - conveniently ignoring that there are altstores for jailbroken iphones for around 15 years now, that in the EU sidloading is a must-have feature in the near future (or maybe it’s already there with ios17, i haven’t checked yet), also enabling altstores without jailbreaks. it’s also very common to have the “eternal test flight” to offer apps that are for whatever reason not on the appstore to get installed with a one-link-tip.
continuing, the video goes on about how on android one can just log out of google and not use gapps, even uninstall ist, conveniently ignoring the gigabytes of undeletable bloatware from vendors that keep going on to collect your data. “install graphene os”, like the pixel is the sole android device in existence.
following is an excerpt about how apple defines tracking and that it still has tracking capabilities, even if you disable app tracking, conveniently ignoring that there are several apps like protonvpn that prevents tracking in general. there is also a focus on iapps, pretending that one HAS to use the calender, not mentioning more privacy friendly alternatives. at least encrypted icloud is mentioned, but privacy relay isn’t, also no word about built-in mail aliases.
near the end we get the old “YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN ANDROID VERSION”-routine, once more shilling graphene without mentioning that one has to buy an iphone price tagged pixel to install it, not going down that installing a rom is way out of the skillset of karen mcnormie who just got the newest samsung thrown at her by her carrier for signing up another two year extension of her contract. finally, there is a mention of ios opening up in the eu.
TLDR; it’s yet another video trying to sell grapheneos, ignoring that most devices cannot even flash it and basically that a rom maintained by a single guy in india who claims it’s very privacy respecting is better than getting an iphone.
edit: some typos.
he can’t win this, can’t he?
“i want to buy this.”
“NOOO, YOU CAN’T DO THAT!”
“ok, i won’t buy it.”
“NOOO, NOW YOU HAVE TO!”
“ok, i bought it.”
“WE WILL NOW INVESTIGATE YOU!”
one does not have to like him to see the pattern behind this, just like the farce with investigating spacex for “discrimination” for not hiring migrants and foreigners even tho the law explicitly forbids the company to do so because of national security concerns.
