In that case, the fediverse better learn to run on tor onion domains and i2p eepsites for federation and access.

I have been saying for a long time that the CuckNet was going to go insane, and the only ways to get real information would be on I2P and Tor anyway.

That would depend on whether the open source developers are going to continue developing for what was previously Android or what is currently Android. I guess it would depend on what market they’re after.

If that’s the case, then its name would have to change, because otherwise, if you search for Help Developing Android Apps, then you’re going to get Google’s locked down version of Android, whatever it ends up being. So, if it’s Graphene OS, or Lineage OS, or whatever, it will have to be named something other than Android Open Source Project.

If Google closes Android’s source code and then breaks the way applications install, developers are going to develop their applications for the way Google has theirs set up, not the way it works currently. And therefore, you will begin losing access to applications as time goes on.

The European fediverse may be at risk, but the rest of the fediverse will tell them to go fuck right off.

What I am saying is that Google can close source Android and then break the way apps install and then force people to use a newer version of Android than what AOSP has access to.

In fact, newer versions of Android already have that where it will not install an application under a specific Android version no matter what.

An ad blocker is an internet condom, and anybody who doesn’t use one is a fucking idiot.

I’ve been using device level ad blocks for something like a decade now and have been using DNS level plus device level ad blocks for about two or three years now.

You don’t. They will either come to it themselves, or they will end up in the gulag.

I have already heard at least the rumblings of an initiative to harden NuraEco to a similar point as Graphene OS.

Until Google breaks the way APKs installed and it will no longer work on the previous system. Yes.

When I first heard about this bankruptcy, one of my first thoughts was, here it goes. This is only the very beginning of the landslide though, so it’s going to take a while before it reaches the bottom, and it’s going to pick up a lot more debris on the way.

I’m telling you, Android is dead as a platform. Google is going to eventually close source AOSP and pay a fine for it, or something like that, and then Android will no longer be an open source project. Because of this, I am moving to NuraEco (formerly PostMarketOS) for my next phone.

Yeah. I did use an open weight model LLM to scan an app that I use and it came up with a critical severity issue and I checked on it first to see if I could reproduce the problem before ever submitting it to the developer as a problem.

Turns out it was actually a legitimate security problem that has now been fixed.

You’re right, but for now, until the reticulum networks get built up, Tor and I2P are going to be the only ways possible. The CuckNet will be a useless place to be, and the only place you’ll actually be able to get real information is on the dark web.

I mean, I just forget about it, because I know for a fact that when I pay taxes, it’s going to be wasted. So, it’s just a write-off. That does not mean that I’m going to hold the rest of my wealth in their failing fiat currency that they can inflate away at any time for a bailout, which is also another form of tax.

Surveillance coin? No way.

I did not say which hard money I use. I just said that I use a hard money.

The smallest amount that I can, since I know that it will be wasted.

But only just enough to keep thugs from showing up at my door with weapons and throwing me in a cage which is something that states seem to enjoy doing.

Give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. They print fake currency, and therefore, if they want fake currency, I’m willing to give it to them, and keep the rest of my money in actual things that hold value.

Or a reproductive day 😅

As much as this sucks, I’m kind of, quite frankly, okay with it. Because I’ve decided that holding fiat currency isn’t worth doing. I hold my money in real hard money and then only convert what I need back to fiat when I need it.

They can bail out and inflate all they want, but they’re not going to be able to reduce my purchasing power.

I don’t know who will pay the bill for it, but I do know that it won’t be me.
