..you can just make a second account..

I'm already gone if I have to make an account to run an OS on my hardware. Fuck everything about that.

I do agree.

But a few thousand people going vegan isn't going to shut down the meat industry. And we don't have time for a gradual shift in human consumption trends.

We need drastic changes ten years ago or humanity is fucked.

That's a bet I would rather take given the alternative.

I don't want any big tech shit on any of my devices. Microsoft, Google, Meta, X, etc can all eat a dick. I have zero trust in any of em.

You're not wrong but getting everyone to collectively do anything is damn near impossible without laws or maybe shame to enforce it.

Alternatively, we can do something about the corporations that are doing the best majority of the polluting in the first place.

Admittedly the later option, under the current regime, would require measures that most people don't seem to be comfortable with yet.

But that begs the same question. If you never update your existing phone with google's malware, you should be ok.

Obviously if you buy a new phone that's already infected you're screwed unless you can flash a new ROM on there.

My point is. People's current phones do not have this malware on it yet. If you disable updates and/or degoogle, your device should continue to work as is. Perhaps without being able to use Google Play Store, but honestly that's not huge loss for anyone that cares about this stuff in the first place.

Voyager is pretty sweet and similar.

On top of what other commenters have already said, this will get worse as schools are continuously defunded in the US.

Or maybe, seeing what's going on in the world and their country is depressing as fuck?

Kids are being born into a dystopian hellscape and parents are shocked that they're not doing ok. SurprisedPikachu.jpg

Would people be able to circumvent this by downgrading their version of Google Play Services? ..or not updating it in the first place?

You're picking a water bottle out of a landfill and calling it a victory. If it makes you feel less powerless by all means, you do you. But there are a thousand corporations, each with a fleet of dump trucks adding to it every hour.

You guys are getting lube??

He sounds like the lawyers in Idiocracy.

Um, it's the second thing in there.

"We’re constantly told, you know, we need to see peaceful protests. Well, here’s a peaceful protest … We projected a piece of journalism on to a wall and now people have been arrested for malicious communications."

If the people do peaceful protests to not get arrested, and they get arrested anyway, there's no longer an incentive to continue protesting peacefully.

This is the way. Arriving at a theater is the only time I'm ever intentionally late for something.

He's right. All anyone has wanted to see since the trailer for Last Jedi was Luke be an absolute badass for once. We got a glimpse of that for Vader in Rouge One, but never for Luke.

Mint detected my Brother but nothing could print until I downloaded a driver from Brother's website. Buttery smooth since.

Ironically, many americans are now using chinese platforms to freely discuss things without fear of the US government.

That's what I love about Rednote. It's still free of UncIe Sam's control and people say what's really on their minds there without having to worry so much.

I think I got maybe 15 minutes into that disjointed clusterfuck of a movie. I had some high hopes too. The trailer made it seem like the plausible future but that shit just went in circles and had nothing to say.
