or just make it entirely web ui based. don’t even bother with app stores.

the main problem with this idea is that you ideally should not have a smartphone on you when protesting or potentially interacting with ICE. Or at the very least not one tied to any online accounts that you have used in the rest of your life.

So to me an app like this should be tailored primarily for people reacting to ICE at their homes or jobs (places where you are known to be anyway) vs proactively protesting (somewhere you probably don’t normally go). People going out to protest should be encouraged to leave smartphones at home and rely on low tech like radios or burner phones.

i would hope every new version of wine runs windows apps in linux and mac better than ever.

the hardware is there regardless of trim. you are paying for the right to use the hardware already in the car you purchased.

Lemmy has a communist bias.

the problem is it’s non-transferrable, so if you want to sell the car (or totaled it) before ~6 years you would lose money compared to paying $100/month.

you know, you’re right. it couldn’t have been china or russia since it’s far more advanced than typical.

lemmy serves us by algorithm too.

you’re AI on an internet rot site.

ostensibly that’s what gemini is for.

don’t trust google no matter how much apple tries to ensure privacy.

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors…

good for him i guess, but why is this news?

…is just ‘gatekeepers’ attempting to ‘censor all of their political opponents’

ah of course, makes sense now.

i guess i will finally be forced to go through my steam backlog.

there are less antagonistic looking ways to mask yourself, such as cute inflatable animal suits.

leave your primary phone ON at home.

lol good luck. Apple already told you to pound sand when you demanded to install state run apps, and now you think you’re getting the source code?

I think that the Internet has definitely democratized information in many ways.

unfortunately the internet democratized the creation of information, which is one part of the the problem. Now everyone and their creepy uncle can say whatever they want and post it everywhere. Good info is drowned out by a firehose of misinformation.

The other part of the problem is access to information is definitely not democratized; it’s controlled by billionaires, state troll mills, and bots. People are not equipped to deal with that. This is what you get with libertarian ideals, might makes right.

that’s ok, i only have one pair.

By enforcing a blanket restriction, the policy infantilises and homogenises young people, setting a precedent for future exclusionary policies, such as raising the legal age to vote or obtain a driver’s licence.

so? blanket restrictions on young people is already a thing for alcohol, cigarettes, and other dangerous substances. This is not a slippery slope to voting rights or driving privileges.

the gone with the wind director would be blowing everyone away. heh.

I vote to forecfully rebrand them as Macrosoft.
