  • I understand what you're talking about. FDroid themselves have come out and said this could be the end of the project, which is what I was alluding to. I would say that has an enormous affect on the platform, and the entire Android ecosystem as a whole.

  • If you're on Graphene, you won't be affected at all.

    Not really true. There's a solid chance a bunch of projects are just abandoned.

  • The answer is no. GOS is intended to be private and secure and routing your calls through Google servers is the opposite of that.

  • Yep. I like GrayJay because you can get a dozen video, music and podcast platforms in 1 app (pick and choose).

  • They shouldn't have to reinvite you.

    Rumble is just an alt-right YT. It's nearly entirely conservative propaganda. That's it's primary purpose.

  • GOS is just the operating system. You can install and use whatever phone app you want.

  • I have phone screening. It's called "block unknown callers" and it comes in most phone apps. If it's important they'll leave a VM or text.

  • I don't understand what any of this has to do with offloading responsibility onto parents (that are often irresponsible). Either it's the parents' responsibility or it isn't. Can't have it both ways.

    I don't agree with ID-gating the internet but I also don't agree that we should rely on parents to somehow watch their kids 24/7 and pretend like none of them are shitty and that children don't need protection from shitty parents.

    We need to just accept that kids are going to be exposed to that shit, like they have been for the last 30 years.

    If parents don't want their kids watching porn, that's a pretty easy fix

    ...I'm intrigued, what's the "easy fix"?

  • That's great for you but this is a tried and true strategy. People buy dedicated DRM machines to get access to exclusive games all the time.

  • What?

    Jump
  • Did you have a question?

  • Fair.

  • LOL a horse is a living creature. It can be temperamental or ill and needs a barn and you have to clean it's shit. This will absolutely be better.

  • Yeah people still use horses in many places where any wheeled or even tracked vehicle can't go. It's pretty smart.

  • Believe it or not there was a time when Google made a lot of cool shit.

  • Signal secure backups are here! Now you can choose to enable automatic end-to-end encrypted backups so you'll never lose a message when you get a new phone or reinstall Signal. You can back up all of your messages and the last 45 days of media for free, or you can pay a small monthly fee to get 100 GB of storage to back up every attachment.

  • No, we do know, because Bondi told us so. She said there were 6M pages, and that they only released ~3.5M.

  • PixelPlayer might be the most underrated Android app of all time, and isn't available in any stores:

    https://github.com/theovilardo/PixelPlayer

    It's a local music player that leans heavily into Material 3. Basically if Google were to design a modern local music player.

  • Especially when you can buy really great (arguably better) models from Samsung's own A Series lineup for like $400.

  • I see how brain dead your response is, because I didn't suggest any of those things. Your argument hinges on the idea of not creating laws and instead leaving it up to parents to prevent their children from doing bad things. So why wouldn't that extend to all those other things I listed?
