  • That’s an interesting argument, however it probably wouldn’t go that far.

    Taking it back to retro interpretations, sharing your photo with meta is basically the same as sharing your photo with a print company that takes and processes your negatives. They’re acting on your behalf in a limited scope, so sharing with them is the same as you doing it all yourself.

    However it maybe comes back into play when that scope isn’t limited, as Meta require in their terms of service. It doesn’t matter what individuals say to Meta regarding their data, their prohibition is superseded by other users, who agree that they have permission to share other people’s information with Meta.

    Meta isn’t breaking privacy laws - you are.















  • Thirty-one percent of Generation Zers who voted for President Trump say they regret it

    So 69% of Gen Z that voted for Trump don’t regret it.

    And that’s the biggest demographic that regretted it. The demographic with the smallest proportion that don’t regret voting for Trump.

    • 69% Gen Z
    • 72% Millennials
    • 80% Gen X
    • 90% Baby Boomers

    So the vast majority of Trump voters don’t regret it, according to this poll.



  • DMCA isn’t all that unreasonable, though. It’s Google’s implementation of their DMCA policy that fails everyone. The article explains this further, with how instead of adhering to the 14 day restoration requirement in the DMCA law, Google took 46 days to restore this app last time.

    The legal remedy here is for the developer to sue Google alongside the false DMCA company. Unfortunately, Google’s response to this kind of thing is to usually ban the developer from Google servers, thereby cutting their future income.

    TL;DR Google is the biggest cunt in all of this.



  • This is supported in AOSP now.

    No it isn’t. GrapheneOS is directly based on AOSP, so it includes everything AOSP does. GOS devs have made it clear they want you to use gestures, and they only include the navbar at all because it’s still in AOSP.

    Inverted navbar is in wide a range of other AOSP custom ROMs (including LineageOS, which could be confused with pure AOSP), because those developers chose to incorporate it. But it isn’t in AOSP by default.

    This doesn’t seem like a mature thing to say just because you want to flip buttons and are annoyed that the privacy and security-focused project didn’t add a feature to flip buttons.

    It’s an accurate take on their general attitude to polite requests on their github. And the reason the requests are so excessively polite is because people are treading on eggshells due to their diva reputation - albeit, this reputation is somewhat drowned out by their fandom.

    It’s also not mature to downvote people just because you disagree with them.

    And furthermore, the reason I use the navbar is because I want a force close long-press gesture on the back button, so I can more easily close apps and stop their background processes. To me, that’s a fairly important feature for privacy and security. That’s also likely a big reason Google pushed away from that, and to see GOS devs align themselves with Google in such a manner raises my eyebrow against them, at the very least.
