I guess so. This is from the article:

Their political project uses the aesthetic of the past to sell a future where minorities are marginalized, women have no political power, and white guys are in charge. That’s how they think it all worked in the past and they’d love for it to happen again.

What the videos don't show is how bad racism was before everyone is able to record at anytime. Shows and movies were very streotypical. Actually since cancel culture wasn't a thing for not famous people, people were really racists in just everyday conversations.

The government's war on immigrants is very much like the war on drugs with were specifically created to target hippies and black communities while at the same time suppying the communities with the drugs they deemed illegal.

In terms of the environment, lead was banned in gasoline in 1996. I thought it was way earlier than that when I looked it up. Shame really. I am no a scientists and the results of microplastics in our system is still being researched but lead poisoning effects are very well documented and I believe the pernament mental effects of it can be seen in a large portion of the boomer population.

This requirement applies to “certified Android devices” that have Play Protect and are preloaded with Google apps. The Play Store implemented similar requirements in 2023, but Google is now mandating this for all install methods, including third-party app stores and sideloading where you download an APK file from a third-party source.

Yes and I could turn it off. Stop punishing developers and users because of ignorant users and malware developers.

Google should stop lying about protecting users and say the truth. This is about getting control, reducing privacy, and protecting corporate interests.

If Google really wants to help the common user then require phone manufacturers to have a minimum of 5 years of updates and don't hinder custom ROM development.

Yeah. I agree. MenaRD is still at the top of his game. EndingWalker shocked me and the FGC. I had to post it here. This is history.

Slate, a car startup backed by Jeff Bezos, is claiming they will release a small truck for $27,000. They will probably jack up this price at some point but now they claim it will be less than half the average cost stated in the article.

First off thank you for the info. Second what comes next is not directed towards you.

SO WHAT THE FUCK IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM THEN?!

There are already a lot of products and services created to block adult material. Instead of wasting millions of dollars and thousands of hours of human power, they could've made a law to opt-in to these services at the service provider level.

For example, in this situation, nearly all blocking services would block 4chan.

Imagine Senate passes a law to put cameras in all toilet motion sensor. People still go, "If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to worry about. Genital recognition technology is used to identify criminals! Do you want criminals to get away?!"

"GO TO YOUR HOME?! DON'T YOU LIKE YOUR HOME?! ARE YOU TOO GOOD FOR YOUR HOME?!"

Yeah I understand.

People, like me, don't use these Microsoft files anymore but I understand I would be incredibly frustrated if one, that I need to open, lands on my lap and I can't open it.

It's just that I wonder how much code is used to even read these shitty files properly. I wonder how many human programming hours is used to deal with them that can be used to progress LibreOffice in some other way? I wonder how many times a LibreOffice programmer is yelling at their screen "WHY THE FUCK DID YOU GO TO A NEW LINE?!"

Privacy matters.

The government and corporations abused this information by stopping protestors getting to their destination.

Protestors can atleast use faraday bags or just leave their phones at home. Now they can't even get to important events.

Now this information is being used by ICE to arrest immigrants.

Considering how conservative views and Nazis are coming back in to fashion, this is very scary for anyone not white and male.

I understand that Microsoft documents are everywhere so I hope in some point in the future, LibreOffice would ditch all support of Microsoft files and make it an optional option during installation and as a plugin.

I also admire these people.

They will get fired. Same thing happened at Google. But I hope that isn't the case.

Microsoft has invested a ton of money in Israel. If in the unlikely event that they are able to be convinced to leave Israel, that would be huge.
