Pay premium for a privacy focused browser? No.

I’d rather build my own browser from scratch. What fucking world do we live in?

Actually, I’d rather never browse the internet again.

Good enough for Robert “don’t allow hate speech at my venues” Kraft though!

People still regurgitate the same colonial talking points “they brought medicine, roads, schools, writing, etc…”

Haha, I can’t argue against any of that

No, I won’t agree with the ICC and ICJ being destroyed because it’s exactly what authoritarianism and imperialists want. It should be empowered, not destroyed.

No GOS doesn’t need 2 step authentication. PIN is enough.

Setting profiles is right on the drop down menu (or settings too).

Also depends on your privacy/security model. For instance if you just want pure and strong security, GOS recommends to use Google play with a dummy account to keep your apps up to date with latest patch.

If your model is you want privacy from Google but a bit less security then use aurora store in your main account (note that some apps and notifications might not work well), and then have your Google apps separate (i.e. for banking etc…) if needed in a separate profile from your main profile with Google play services activated.

So start with what your risk model is and then it becomes a bit clearer from there.

It’s only on settlements. Has to be on the country

While Antisemitism exists and it’s real. It’s not the biggest problem in the world or the largest form of oppression/xenophobia/racism that exists today, not by a long shot based on every statistic available.

But according to the ADL et al., their definition of antisemitism (IHRA) is the only issue and the entire world and it’s citizens needs to shut up about everything else or face the consequences.

Sure! But then my “make it rain” kind of becomes a “make it drizzle slightly and only once”, which isn’t as fun!

coins are way more fun

You tell that to the strip club that banned me!

That’s true! But I believe that you still need an account and, of course, the play store collects some data about the device its installed on/installing apps on. Depends on peoples threat/privacy model if they want that or not.

Either way, a sad day for open source that aurora is being blocked.

Explains the fetish for violence

It’s trying to close their system off further because there’s a lot more tracking that can be enabled if you use their official app

I don’t know man. Just checked a used Motorola RAZR from last year and it costs 600$, which is on par with the pixel price reduction. And I think the RAZR is one of the models that will have GOS

I’m a bit confused with your own words

People who are security-minded for the most part just want a device to handle daily tasks, etc. Not all the bells whistles of an expensive high-end phone.

Buying a used and old Pixel (as old as 7) will be an option for many years since GOS will continue to support.

My confusion is that you argue against flagship phone (and we’ll have to see how true the assumption is on cost and if it will even be flagship) while also saying that people won’t buy it anyways because they prefer the cheaper older used phones.

Edit: I do want to add, I’m not sure why people assume it will be only on a flagship model. Most forums mention that GOS would be applicable to 3 models: the Signature, Razr Fold and Razr Ultra models (all with varying costs and some comparable to the newest Pixel).

How would money be involved?

It’s not like GOS is in a position to force device manufacturers to open the bootloader and have strengthened hardware, let alone make phone prices accessible. The best they can do is kindly ask a manufacturer to do so and hope that they agree (which Motorola have technology-wise).

And if it’s a money issue for people, then buying the newest pixel phone is still not cheap (~1k+). And most privacy advocates recommend buying the phone used and with cash so it’s not associated with your bank details.

Or go the accelerationist route and wait on the 100% evil guy radicalizing a lot more people to bring about the revolution.

Have you heard of the haavara agreement?

Now that Spain’s Socialist President, Pedro Sánchez, has adopted the rhetoric of decolonization, Mohammed VI should revive the spirit of the Green March to carry out the definitive expulsion of Spanish settlers from Moroccan territory […] Sánchez should do the right thing: live up to his anti-colonial rhetoric and put an end to the Spanish occupation in Africa,” wrote the author, Michael Rubin.

Spain’s “decolonization” rhetoric was actually anti imperialism while acknowledging Spain’s colonial past and at the same time taking aim at the US and Israel. So does Mikey agree that Israel is colonizing? These think tanks do anything but think.

Good morning!
