If only either of the government cared about the people.

A megalomaniac using his population as cannon fodder Vs a military industrial complex that could care less if people die for its interest.

That’s a lot of black to make sure the clothes glue to your skin in the sun.

Piracy from the big guy who’s exploiting little guys to make and sell products is fair.

Pirating things off the little guy, who’s barely making a living is how the little guys stop making content on their own, and will instead opt to work for the big guy who can guarantee a livelihood, no matter how small. If you think you as a society isn’t contributing to it then just look around.

And It is only getting worse. While you can fantasize about it, indie-anything who get lucky are exceedingly rare for a reason. But you won’t stop removed about how everything from the Big Bad has gone to shit. It couldn’t totally be because everyone thinks they’re entitled to others hard work, because they paid for “the internet”.

But as always, entitled pricks are how we end up on ever more convulsive state of the world, no matter which side you’re on. So carry on, ig.

Google is losing interest in maintaining Android at all.

Google is just starting to capitalize big on Android with its strangle hold. They’ve recently introduced tracking your device while it’s off. Scoped storage, where it excludes itself. Stock Pixel devices cannot use other gallery apps to view their images. Google requires developers to submit their key to sign their apps for Google Play Store. Google has copied almost all popular productivity apps to push their own above everyone else. And so on and so on.

Their AI stuff is probably analyzing your data on-device and sending aggregate to their servers. Which they can conflate and market as “not sending your data” but it just means not sending the raw data.

So I really doubt they’re losing interest in Android.

Guy has always been a far right-wing cuck

After a century… boy that’s depressing.

I bet the chinese are going to stop exploiting the south china sea and the japanese will stop hunting whales in mass after exploiting it for a century.

I’m telling you when they do stop, it’ll be turned into an uplifting news. We’ll almost have 10 whales in the wild by then, but Yaay!!

who would dare to risk reentry in that piece of shit.

Keyboard warriors of the internet.

I saw comments mentioning how it was a minor annoyance and they’d be back home in the same craft same week or something close.

Kids, this is why you take anything from the internet with healthy dose of skepticism.

An area that’s been oppressed for generations isn’t producing significant science reseaech papers.

No shit Sherlock.

Propaganda is tools like you downplaying global events cause it doesn’t fit into your narrative. I didn’t know science coming out of Gaza is an actual metric for citizens to science and scientist to exist.

Like fucking geez. Stop smelling your own ass.

Why do games even need actors to do rape scenes? I know games do motion capture and such but rape scenes? Just make 3D models and go wild.

Something’s definitely fishy.

This is one of the reasons you should get your apps from fdroid instead of play store.

yes, but getting updates weeks later isn’t for everyone.

Do these people employed/contracted directly by Google tell their viewers they’re employed/contracted directly by Google? Then it doesn’t make a difference. does it?

And why do you think the reviewers people are familiar with aren’t part of the program. Do you have a list?

Android authority? seems more like Google Advertorial…

They’re probably tired of being used just as a customer for the military industrial complex and want to go back to their normal lives. They also probably have a ton of intel on the enemy’s weaknesses to shut putin and his cronies down.

I hope they succeed at the earliest.

This post is an ad first and foremost. That’s why there’s a giveaway, which probably got used up in few minutes but people will keep clicking the link anyway hoping they didn’t miss it.

Mission Accomplished!

If users wanted updates from Play Store, they would install the app from the Play Store.

Handing it off to someone creates a whole new set of second hand responsibility, if the new maintainers go on to add something malicious.

a la: xz backdoor

The creator was shunned until everyone figured out he had handed it off to someone else.

If someone wants to continue, they can always fork it.

India? the country with deeply rooted religious society that has little regard for women in general? that India would go for equality?
