Ok, thanks for explaining it.

a subset of play store features, notably a client for GCM/FCM so push notifications work

So are push notifications then reliant on Google? Wondering not just for de-Googleings sake but for privacy too.

Thanks for this comment. There is LineageOS with microG pre-installed and it sounds like that might be easier for a noob like me.

Thanks!

owing to a slight miss on revenue

Nope, try again.

spending surged 66% to $37.5 billion in the latest quarter … approximately 45% of the company’s $625 billion in remaining performance obligations (RPO)—a key measure of future cloud contracts—is tied directly to OpenAI

Ding ding ding! That’s right, OpenAI, the company where being profitable is a physical and mathematical impossibility!

All your data are belong to us.

Good question. NLRB would be nice to have, too.

It’s great!

An Australian app, so you can say “Epstein” on this one but still not “stop the genocide and colonisation of Palestine”. At least the hate speech manager (for now) isn’t an ex-IDF Zionist and the platform (for now) is not expressly pro-Israel / pro-genocide.

One way of looking at it is that we literally cannot afford war. I mean moneywise. Nixon removed the dollar from the gold standard in order to finance the Vietnam war, which the US lost in the military sense but won in the sense of the military industry making a whole lot of money. Literally more money than was even possible.

Israel can probably make you one of those.

Good idea, but might have to come in like France did in 1971 (they rolled up to NY harbor in a destroyer). For some reason I don’t think it’ll work like it worked for de Gaulle.

Makes sense, X always boosts racists.

Anti-genocide = anti-racist

Pro-Israel = racist

I really hope the US holds a referendum. Greenlanders tell it like it is.

Hey I’ve seen this one before!

USreal couldn’t destroy Iran through a coup so now they’re bringing in artillery.

Fair enough. Most people with that opinion don’t know about them, or about Ukraine in general or their civil war at all. Just going back to 2013 borders wouldn’t solve anything, especially considering the number of Ukrainians that defected to the Russian side. It would just be an even more divided country.

What about Israel? Should it be “destroyed” as well?

That would be nice, but what about the Minsk agreements? Just ignore them? Could they even be implemented at this stage?
