this country is really obsessed with eggs
I was thinking about this myself. I think it’s a breakfast staple even more than in other countries, and in larger quantities. And for many people it might be the most affordable source of animal protein? Until recently, that is.
Not blocked, but they’ll be subject to those very same tariffs. Unless Trumplon makes another eXeCuTiVe oRdEr
community. What is r/something on reddit, is c/something on feddit.
I like this sort of music anyhow. Drones.
In case someone’s interested, there are radio stations offering that 24/7. Dronezone or Darkzone on Soma FM, Radio 9128…
Why should it be dystopian?
I don’t think Russia will do anything about the situation, prompted or not. The USA and Russia are not allies per se; their relations are not - how to say - balanced, on the same level?
I think Snowden being right where he is suits the Kreml very well.
And I don’t see Trump asking for him either; how would he benefit from that?
Immunity from crimes. Always has been.
Is he ready to say that quiet part out loud though? Actually nvm, he did. He just calls it “injustice”
The boring bit is that I’m not the least bit surprised that he said that. other aspects of this dystopian timeline are certainly less boring.
I’d say don’t give them any ideas, but I’m sure that force has been on the menu for a long while now.
PS: next, Trump will complain that a 2/3 majority for constitutional changes is cultural marxism or some such. I called it!
Because of cause he would say that eventually. A boring dystopia indeed.
Thanks that makes more sense. But I’ll believe it when it’s implemented.
It is very hard to implement properly
This is the problem with Android; the whole OS is built for Google and they have no interest in making this sort of thing easy. Building apps or end user stuff, sure, but fiddling around with its core functionality is not supported.
Can you explain? Not saying you’re wrong but that short paragraph does not seem to address the contents of this posts’s article.
Good question, I’d like to know too.
It’s not a vulnerability - it’s part of the system. Google Play store reviews apps and thus implicitly allows such behavior. It’s not just in the manifest or permissions either, data collection is rampant in apps and how could it not since that is the whole purpose of all Alphabet products.
Android & Googleverse is a cancer that permeates way more than just the OS or browser.
May I ask what phone OS you use if not Android or Android based?
Also, could you explain what the “different Indias” are?
Oh nice, he updated his site. Not just the looks I presume. Read more:

+1 to all of the above.
People used to think it was because you didn’t need a phone number to register but those days are long gone.
What messaging apps you use instead of WhatsApp/Messenger
Signal. I actually do use WA as well (peer pressure) but it’s registered to a separate phone/SIM and I use it almost exclusively through a desktop app. Neither have access to my address book!
Alternatives to Google services (email, calendar, cloud storage)
I use a small local email provider. If that wasn’t an option I’d probably use mailbox.org.
Calendar and contacts: self-hosted CalDAV/CardDAV application. And since I do have a server, that’s also my cloud storage.
Social media alternatives that respect privacy
Fediverse is private enough for me.
Browsers
Librewolf
Password managers worth using
Keepassxc
Any other productivity apps you’d recommend me to use
What are productivity apps?
What made the story so captivating for me is how dystopian yet extremely close to present day reality it is.
Of course that’s what he does: takes already existing situations and weaves them into something eye-opening.
