Hope this was the right way of doing a crosspost? Let me know if I fucked this up.

I remember when Oslo's mayor (iirc?) said something along the lines of "this is something a free society has to live with if it doesn't want to surrender their freedoms" after Breivik's attack.

We need more politicians like that. People who are capable of telling how it is: There is no sane way to prevent anyone from burning books. We can only invest in education and hope that people get the message that burning books doesn't do anything of value.

In my world, there is no room for benefit of the doubt when it comes to Bayer/Monsanto. They've proven time and time again that their products can't be trusted and that they don't care about poisoning people, extracting money from the poorest farmers by forcing them to buy their patented seeds.

Why would people even downvote this? Who could possibly want these companies to be involved in their food production?

Didn't Russia just integrate Wagner into their military and left only those who went to Belarus to keep on fighting for Prighozin/Wagner?

GrapheneOS itself doesn't use it, but all apps can access the Neural Core functionality and other parts of the Tensor SoC, according to this text: https://grapheneos.org/usage#google-camera

Why would anyone trust anything this guy says or claims?

I always have Tor installed and I often use it instead of incognito browser sessions when researching stuff. It's sometimes slow and Cloudflare made it a lot more annoying to use than ~5-10 years ago, but I'm glad it exists.

I'm sure it's still more useful to US interests though, or it wouldn't be funded anymore.

Active Edge, which LG originally came up with and that Google adopted with the Pixel 2. Of course they dropped it after a few devices.

It was basically a button/key press that you could configure to trigger actions by firmly applying pressure with you hands around the lower third of your phone. It gave a very satisfying haptic vibration response based on the amount of pressure you applied and you could even set the amount of pressure until it was triggered. It had something magickal about it.

I think the current discussion is a good example showing that it's not as black and white, and definitely not easy, as you make it out to be.

This just made me switch from AndOTP. Much better UI, awesome import capabilities, much more robust backup/restore. Thanks for sharing!
