Literally disappearing people off the street

Didn’t the U.S. fight a war against a country and its leader who did the same shit? I was never very proud to be an American because this country has done some fucked up shit since 1776. But this is downright terrifying to me as someone who is disabled and considered a parasite by Elon because if they aren’t stopped after this then it’s game over for any “non-white” people, LGBTQ+, and poor people in general to be disappeared.

This may be why they want Greenland so bad 🤔

Mix in some rap, old school country, jazz, and dubstep with that group and you have an exact replica of one of my playlists

I knew about Apple’s tactics and still went all in.

For me at the time it was a choice between sticking with Android (my first smartphone was the OG Moto Droid), trying to de-Google the Android phone I had at the time, or switching to Apple.

Android hardware may be better now than it ever has been, but that wasn’t always the case. Samsung especially pissed me off when they had an Android phone out that after an update to Android the phone would randomly go into Airplane mode without indicating it. They refused to release a fix. That was the last straw for me after trying to use a ton of different ROMS on the phone to get around the issue. Also, back then if you didn’t have Google Play installed that meant you missed out on a lot of apps or had to use Amazon’s App Store.

I got fed up with having to constantly fix things after ROM updates and didn’t have the time due to working so many hours at my job. I didn’t want to stick with Google because I saw where it was headed. I switched to Apple and never looked back. Part of that switch was also influenced because I wanted to get out of the Microsoft Windows ecosystem and gaming on Linux wasn’t great back then so I had to dual boot. Gaming on Mac’s weren’t that great either, but at least I had the “feeling” that things were more private with Apple than Google and MS.

I’m so tied into the Apple ecosystem right now that I’m just not sure I want to go back to hacking Android phones and al that even if things are 100% better than they were a decade ago. I “trust” that Apple handles my privacy concerns better than an ad-supported Google and Windows. I’m going to recommend Apple to non tech-savvy friends and family 100% of the time. Until there’s a phone OS competitor that is both easy to use and on decent hardware out of the box, it’s just a hassle.

That said, I’m thinking about looking at picking up a cheap pre-paid Android phone and checking out the ROM scene again because of the happenings in the US the last few months. I don’t know if I can trust Apple to not cave to the government and destroy the only good thing it had going for the ecosystem for me.

Meanwhile, in the U.S. I’m sitting here wondering if we’ll even have a flu shot available for next winter, let alone a new vaccine that can protect from Covid and the common cold.

Does this detect only Verizon bands or does it work for AT&T/T-Mobile towers too? I’m tempted to get this just out of curiosity but if it’s only Verizon bands it’s not really useful to me unless the fake towers attach to any device regardless of carrier.

Edit: Was able to find a brand new one on Ebay for a whopping $12 after taxes with free shipping. At the very least it’ll be a nice paperweight if it proves useless to me. 😆

So are they committing mass genocide in Gaza to clear the way for Trump to buy it or is that no longer a thing? I can’t keep up with this shit anymore. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Also, this is disgusting.

I just got an HDHomeRun that I use with an antenna and love it. I use Mac and they are one of the only boxes that works on Mac.

They don’t have a native Linux client, but you can use VLC supposedly: https://info.hdhomerun.com/info/linux
