@MarkHoltom but #USA was (and still is for #Bundeskanzler #FriedrichMerz ex #BlackRock) the big role model how to fuck everything up :(

This system of #Amazon paying 6% #tax in #Luxemburg while all others are taxed 50% and ripped off wherever possible is clearly #unsustainable and almost everyone except #CDU #CSU and #FDP realized that (or they clearly get paid by #Amazon #lobbyists to do nuthin

#solution: give young people a #garden for free

but all the elites can come up with is #hitler 2.0

More from @electrek: "The truth is, #electric #bikes aren’t the menace. They’re a #solution. They’re one of the few glimmers of hope in a #transportation system drowning in #pollution, #congestion, and daily #tragedy. They make mobility cheaper, cleaner, and more accessible. And yet we treat them like an invasive species because they disrupt the dominance of the automobile."

"#JamieZawinski has #repeatedly said:

Now hear me out, but What If…? #browser #development was in the hands of some kind of #nonprofit #organization?

In my #humble but #correct #opinion, #Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:

#Building THE #reference #implementation #WebBrowser and
Being a jugular-#snapping #attack #dog on #standards #committees.
There is no 3."
"Perhaps this is the only #viable #resolution."

"#Mozilla, for all its many #failings, has #invented a lot of #amazing #tech, from #Rust to #Servo to the #leading #budget #phone #OS. It shouldn't be trying to #capitalize on this #stuff. Maybe 3encourage it to have semi-independent #spinoffs, such as #Thunderbird, and as #KaiOS ought to be, and as #Rust could have been."
"But #JamieZawinski has the only #clear #vision and #solution we've seen yet. Perhaps he's #right, and #Mozilla #should be a #nonprofit, #working to #fund the one #independent, non-#vendor-driven, #standardscompliant #browserEngine."

@ProfessorBoop

The article says it accesses this information whether you have it turned on or not; I don't know for sure, but it sure sounds like there's no permissions controls that would prevent it from doing so.

I don't know if it's uninstallable at all; that's why I wondered if it was baked into Android. Regardless of whether it's uninstallable with ADB, that's not a solution - the vast majority of Android users don't have the knowledge and inclination to do so -- or even to know "ADB" exists and what it is. Think "regular users".

@lauren regularly makes the point that technical "solutions" to privacy and security problems which require advanced technical skill and understanding are an overall negative for the tech world - it makes the technically capable regard the problems as non-issues and leaves the vast majority of users helpless and victimized.

@signalapp It's not #disinfo when one points out that you demand #PII aka. #PhoneNumbers from Users and that is literally a architectural vulnerability, alongside your #proprietary & #Centralized #Infrastructure.

Not to mention the lack of @torproject / #Tor support with an #OnionService or the willingness to fulfill #cyberfacist "Embargoes" or shilling a #Shitcoin #Scam named #MobileCoin!

  • #KYC is the illicit activity!!!

And don't get me started on the #cyberfacism that is #CloudAct.

  • If you were secure, criminals would've used your platform so hard, it would've been shutdown like #EncroChat and #SkyECC.

I may nit have allvthe.evidence yet, but #Signal stenches like #ANØM: #Honeypot-esque!

#LAfires #Solution

It's NOT a natural disaster, it's caused by ages of #RapeOfNature.
The solution is long term water management.
Wet wood and hydrated land doesn't burn.
Nature has been raped for centuries by short-term-thinking for profit. Technical solutions have always been cheap-and-easy. Restore the natural water cycle and restore nature. Then nature will PROTECT your homes.
It wasn't nature that took those houses, it was HUMAN ABUSE.

Don't wait for the fires to die out. Rethink how you want to [ab]use the land ! Rethink your 'property' rights: no one should OWN the water [esp. not billionaires owning nearly all]
