Uh, they DO still make dumb phones. And people still buy them.

You can get alarms that you place under the mattress and they shake the entire bed

She's the kind of person to kill two people in a car accident and then do a runner

Minetest. The game is way more open and customisable, and you can add in whatever rulesets you like.

And how do they make their money?

Because hosting shit yourself isn't free, and most people aren't up for taking financial losses for their projects.

To be more specific, you can, it's just an esoteric piece of shit mechanism that's way more complicated than it needs to be.

and the government would have to explain precisely why they decided to ban all Google services over a song about freedom.

They wouldn't explain shit. This is an authoritarian government we're talking about; they have near total control of what information gets to their populace.

More likely they'd just accuse Google of supporting terrorism, and make a show of raiding their offices and jailing their local executives.

I don’t think the people in charge would last long if that happened, considering how integral Google’s services are to many people’s lives.

This is China we're talking about. Chinese equivalents to nearly every big tech service are more than present and accounted for, even often preferred by the local populace. Hong Kong is a little different, but the CCP still exerts near total control there.

Well, you pulled out of your ass that I've never been to the UK when I lived there for nearly 30 years, you pulled out of your ass that I've never actually seen public infrastructure being used by the homeless, which I obviously have given how long I've lived there.

So now that we've established that my accusations of you pulling stuff out of your ass is well founded, do you have anything to say that isn't an attempt at setting up a straw man or 'no u'?

Isn't that just execution by another name?

Eh, replace death with life-without-parole imprisonment and I'm onboard.

If you think about it, LWP is a far worse fate.
