The fuck are you on about? This post is such an extreme overreaction. You’ve successfully made up a bunch of shit that you think I’m advocating for and then gotten super mad about your own bullshit. I didn’t say that nothing should have changed or evolved from back then. I said that Javascript was a bad way forward and that I don’t think there’s anything wrong with separation of software by function instead of making one bit of software an all in one solution. But go ahead and rant and make personal attacks. I don’t even know why I’m trying to clarify my position to someone who’s intent on demonstrating they’re clearly not someone worth discussing things with.

🙄

Your post asking for a solution was in the past tense. I answered in that context. Anyone following the discussion is able to see that. If you changed your frame of reference in your mind to the present day, you sure didn’t communicate that here, so that’s on you. How would we solve this problem today? I don’t think we can. Javascript and the like are way too entrenched and web apps are a way of life now. We’re stuck with this privacy invading nonsense until something drastic changes, but I don’t know that that change would look like.

Web apps don’t need to exist, so yeah. A website should just be a website. If there’s something that NEEDS a whole ass application to run, that should be something you have the choice to download and install, not implemented in an invasive way in unrelated software meant to show some interactive text, images, and video.

There was no problem requiring a solution. Just like cars functioned perfectly fine as cars for decades before becoming gross, always online, data harvesting privacy invasion devices, the “solution” would have been to just not do that. Cars used to let you drive places just fine before jamming internet connections in them. Similarly, browsers used to let you browse the web just fine before we decided to abandon stand alone software development to jam everything in a browser.

Gboard wouldn’t need to take screenshots. It can see what you’re typing as you’re typing it. As far as what your contacts are saying, if they’re using Gboard, it’s the same for them. And even if Google doesn’t admit it, we all know they’re correlating every single data point about people they can get, which includes who talks to who. I wouldn’t be surprised if they know you’re talking to a particular person and tailors your suggestions to fit the conversation. This is an even stronger possibility if you’re using one of Google’s messaging apps.

Words have lost all meaning. These days people think any picture or screenshot is a meme.

I bet Justin Hammer was behind it.

Everything is everything.

My favorite part about this is that I saw this while sitting on the can within 20 mins of waking up. 😂

People have forgotten the old ways.

When the McRib is back, you do what you have to do to get one.

😰

Indeed! Also, this is the internet. You’re allowed to say bullshit.

I had to look up what this actually is and it sounds pretty damn good!

UNTIL IT’S DONE!

According to the Graphene OS website, the main issue isn’t even that. It’s that you can’t relock the boot loader on almost any device other than a Pixel. That leaves a huge security hole on the phone, and it’s one that almost all rooted users of other phones have open, whether they realize it or not.

Check the updated vote counts. Some states aren’t done yet and he’s already around a million or so more votes higher than 2020.

I just checked the current vote counts because everyone is repeating election night totals, which hadn’t yet accounted for a lot of votes that were still being tallied. The current difference between 2020 and 2024 is about 5.7 million votes. And they’re still not done counting in a few states. Trump won because the majority decided fascism is pretty cool, actually.

Trump is currently sitting at 75.6 million votes, with a few states still finishing off their counts. His 2020 total was 74.2 million. He’s not only already got more votes than he did in 2020, but he’s on track to eclipse that amount even further. Meanwhile Harris is at 71 million vs Biden’s 81 million. So yeah, Dem voters didn’t show up because the lives of their fellow Americans don’t really mean anything to them, but either some of them flipped for Trump or more people who typically sit out elections showed up for him. The numbers show Trump did get more popular. This is apparently what our country wants.
