The Last Samurai

I think if they were going to make one they would have done it before RE2 remake… But maybe they will redo 0 and 1 who knows.

I didn’t actually try the Signal client, I definitely wasn’t getting timely push notifications with Molly until I set up Sunup. It’s very possible that disabling battery optimizations would work, but my understanding is that IF that does work, it’s because the app is maintaining it’s own persistent connection to it’s servers whereas if you have a push notification server, you have one persistent connection running to the push server and it will wake up the apps as needed? Probably I don’t have a complete understanding of all this, but basically I think there are some battery life advantages to push notifications over other forms of persistent connections, so if you don’t have an actual push server configured and the apps can’t reach Google’s then they either get delayed notifications (only once you open the app to check?) or they downgrade to a less efficient persistent connection.

The other reason I tried Molly was that it was in the Accresent store which seems to be recommended by the GrapheneOS devs and when I first made the switch I hadn’t gotten Play alternatives like Aurora, Obtanium or F-Droid set up yet.

Tap-to-pay is an obstacle for GrapheneOS adoption for sure. It seems like some Garmin watches have tap-to-pay support which doesn’t just utilize your phone like other smart watches. I’m going to be heading in that direction soon. I’ve found some reports that the Vivoactiv series actually loads the card onto the watch so I’d use the Garmin app in a secondary profile to set it up but then largely leave the Garmin watch disconnected from my phone but should still be able to use the watch for tap-to-pay.

If you’re trying to fully De-Google on GrapheneOS one of the thorny issues you have to solve is that push notifications don’t work without Google Play Services. For my primary profile my goal was to have Google Play and Play Services completely disabled.

Molly allows you to select an alternative push notifications setup. I used Sunup which I think uses a Mozilla service and then you set it up with a public MollySocket server and make sure Sunup has unrestricted battery access and then push notifications work reliably without Play Services.

I was able to get RCS to work on Google Messages easily on GrapheneOS. The issue I had was trying to NOT use RCS. My messages have never been encrypted with iPhone users so I’m using Molly for people that matter anyways, and I was hoping to be able to recieve group texts even though I wasn’t using Google Messages anymore. Nope, could never get it to work. I tried deregistering from RCS on Google’s page, I tried contacting TMobile support, etc. Those group text just disappeared into the ether. So I’m back to Google Messages until Grapheme Messages adds RCS.

Probably all they had to do was buy a bunch of crypto “currency” from World Liberty Financial. Nothing to see here.

Love the use of the word “practiced” here. 10/10

It’s the only way they can be sure it’s not full of AI slop.

Is this abelist?

Does their CEO even DO Ketamine? How many outlandish promises have they made recently? Have we even seen ONE “Roman” salute at a government function?

How are we even supposed to determine a valuation?

The fascists are literally branding leftists as domestic terrorists and throwing them in the gulag… for things as innocuous as being opposed to the genocide in Gaza.

So yes, these people are heavily armed and out to get us. They will commit violence against us and get pardoned by their dear leader.

But I agree with most of the rest… It’s crazy that in Texas you can shoot someone dead for stealing your TV and get away with it.

I envy you that you don’t have an abundance of armed fascists in your country, and that your government hasn’t been taken over by fascists… but unfortunately that’s the reality that we’re dealing with here in the states.

It’s a good thought and you’re not even wrong. I used to think the same way.

Then tens of millions of people voted for Trump not once, not twice, but THREE times.

Trump lost, fascists threatened civil war, J6 happened… Trump STILL got re-elected, and pretty much on day one he sent the message loud and clear that his violent fascist foot-soldiers can count on getting pardons if they commit violence in his name.

Now consider how many of those violent fascists have guns.

Still feel safe without guns?

Looks like Florida is still around 90 miles from Cuba.

I considered doing this, but then the Pixel phones started doing a much better job at just filtering out spam calls so it hasn’t really been an issue.

Especially on mobile… It’s crazy how many times I tried to do a food order or some checkout process and mobile Firefox just hits some error.

Practically a penny stock now at less than a dollar

It’s not a good long term market because retirees will be gone in 20-30 years and millennials+ will never be able to retire.

Wondering the same thing, maybe they think the information about their private server and network setups will be used against them?

I think the major investors and CEOs all privately know this is insanity but are trying to capitalize on the wild speculation as much as possible so they are publicly saying otherwise. They probably think that they will have insider information about the bubble bursting and can get out in time, and they’re probably mostly right. It’s the normies with 401ks that will be left holding the bag.

Or, they are hoping that the bubble bursts while the Trump crime family is in charge and that big tech bribes will result in big tech bailouts. And they’re probably right about that too.
