All I wanted was a slow painful death.

If you’ve ever used their printers you’d already know the company does not make consumer goods. They make soul sucking, joy draining, black holes of money, wrapped in a subscription service that locks all your purchases based on whatever the fuck they feel like.

And the last time I had to open up an HP PC I cursed their existence. So much useless stupid plastic that makes repair/upgrade tedious to say the least.

Fuck HP with all the printer cartridges that are still good but unusable because DRM greedy ceos.

Eliminate the poor.

Eliminate poverty.

The wealthy only need maintain their indefatigable AI robot slaves.

Simple.

That doesn’t stop or turn off google services, or services framework, or safety scan, or scanning your images, or reading your contacts and phone logs, what apps you use, when you use them, biometric data, location data, etc.

You can mitigate against these by limiting permissions or appops with adb or shizuku enabled programs.

Uninstall/disable as many google apps, components, and services as safely possible.

Use a DNS filter to block Google from sending data, DNS rebinding, and using mdns for internet.

Or go all the way and use graphene or similarly degoogled OS.

That’s just, like, your opinion, man.

most packages show a slight (around 1%) performance improvement and some packages, mostly those that are somewhat numerical in nature, improve more than that.

1%

All that work for 1%?

And what does ‘somewhat numerical in nature’ and ‘more than that’ mean ?

The calculator gets 1.2% ?

They want to take away your ovens!!!

My 7 year old penguin can lap most peoples horses.

Why would i want to use a new horse that comes crippled, always watches me, supports genocide, keeps putting the saddle back on that I keep telling it I don’t want to use, prevents me from riding it the way i want, and tells me my horse and assless chaps are no good every few years?

NFC definitely.

Don’t fret peons!

The billionaires will become trillionaires and you will become poorer.

Win / win.

1 reason:

Microsoft

I think if any of your childhood was in the 1980’s and you were a boy, and a bit of a nerd you’d appreciate.

And yes I do still have my tron record album /comic book.

I’m just skimming through the license on my phone and they include LGPL, apache, BSD, Mozilla public license, eclipse public license, w3c, MIT, apple, and GNu.

IANAPOLL (The extra POL is for patent or licensing) so I don’t know the intricacies of each type.

But there are a lot.

If both grandparents were born there you have rights of descent and are an Irish citizen.

Just have to do the paperwork.

I wonder if any and everyone who has ever contributed code under whichever open license was used could sue the tits off google, not as a class, but thousands upon thousands of individual lawsuits, for breach of terms of said licence/contract.

So, will an app like this

which uses (w)adb, be able to install apk as I currently do?

Or will they also fuck this up ?

Oceans Retirement villa.

Human psychology is the same no matter the tech.

It just makes it easier.

And deadlier.

The 90-minute live demonstration featured the introduction of a complete computer hardware and software system called the oN-Line System or, more commonly, NLS, which demonstrated for the first time many of the fundamental elements of modern personal computing, including windows, hypertext, graphics, efficient navigation and command input, video conferencing, the computer mouse, word processing, dynamic file linking, revision control, and a collaborative real-time editor.
