Damn Google be speed running how quickly they can make me replace all their services. Google Maps and Youtube are about the only 2 I still use.

Didn’t like when Russia did it and I don’t like that Ukraine is doing it. BUT, the review/per basis process does make a big difference and makes it an easier pill to swallow.

Researchers were able to clone a user’s entire Signal session by copying the local storage directory, allowing them to access the chat history on a separate device

This has actually been useful for me in the past when reinstalling my OS lmao. In an ideal world we could reverify by entering a code from our phones to unlock the desktop local storage after moving it. My biggest wish for Signal is more seamless message history movement across devices and ecosystems. Fuck even proper back ups would be nice.

Basically they are what the 13 colonies were. Taxed to shit without support and rep lmao

lmao chill. A broken clock is still right twice a day.

I agree with almost everything you said. I’m not referring to services like Netflix as owning. More specifically the recent debacle with Sony removing access to PURCHASED content. I would happily buy my movies and TV shows on something like Google play movies or Apple TV. My issue is I can’t trust any of these corps not to pull the rug out from under me. Their track record says they will. It’s a question of when not if. We need a streaming equivalent of Spotify for TV and movies. Obviously it would be much more expensive than Spotify, but I would happily pay for the convenience of having anything I want as much as I want on one platform/interface. Streaming sucks right now where libraries are spread across platforms with varying interfaces, bitrate etc. shit just sucks lol

Mandatory reminder that if buying isn’t owning then piracy isn’t stealing.

I think there’s a little more at play than just not reading it lol

Right? They try to make us the product by hard baking invasive telemetry into windows. Then want us to pay for it too? Nawh.

Bro who tf is stealing Payday let alone to play alone. What a waste of money and a fuck you to paying customers.

Apps you can’t delete? Gotta be Samsung?

Same, I’ve switched to it for the time being. All these apps suck in their own way for the time being. It’s so exciting waking up to fresh updates every other day though. I’ve got them all installed and rotate between them.
