Its the opposite even. Profiling usually meaning judging based on appearance instead of actions.

I was thinking of stories/movies with “bad” endings and 1984 is a pretty obvious one that had a horrible ending but a massive cultural impact probably in part due to shock of the ending being so depressing.

The Sound of Music

Dont know that so idk…
But yes, i think showing what its like to lose is important. It gives people all the more motivation to fight back if they are ever met with a choice in life.

Long term you should look out for Waydroid compatible devices. Basically linux devices (smartphones, tablets, pcs) that run android containers very close to hardware so you can run your important android apps while not having to rely on the mess that android is for everything. There is a GApps version too if you need google shitware for some reason. Ubuntu Touch (smartphone os) is one of the most prominent to implement it. Personally i hope to eventually just get rid of my phone and only have a laptop with a sim-card and waydroid.

Sort of is tho. It might give you the false impression that the good guy wins in reality too, which couldnt be any further from the truth. It also teaches kids that there is a greater power that will eventually save them, which again is not going to happen in reality most of the time.

Stop recommending this shit ffs. Its super suspicous, closed source and intransparent in its operation. If the feds raid this guys house and push a malicous version (assuming its not already compromised by design), all the users are fucked. This is not a good app to recommend.

Reminds me of the thing in Spain where the cops just immediately suspect anyone of drug trafficking for using pixel devices because thats what grapheneos runs on.

Heh, nice one 👏

It does say “BIOS Setup Utility” at the top tho…

ARM devices kinda dont have a bios, so sadly this wouldnt be possible :(

Its nuts to me that we figured out their strategy like 10 years ago and people just chose to ignore that information and kept using all these platforms anyway.

This is very relatable to me. When you are in too deep, you cant just drop it.

Yeah the transparency of it might be unintended.

I think there is a good chance this behavior is unintended!

Lmao, sure…

Is lemmy written by ChatGPT, buggy, insecure and unmaintainable? No. So wtf are you trying to say?

The comic is clearly comparing people that care so much about their work that they protest about it, with an asshole that produces garbage that will end up being a security and privacy nightmare.

One cares about their work, the other doesnt.

I luckily only really use Calc. Ive had no problems with that, but my use cases are fairly primitive probably. What kind of issues did you have while using it and which one Writer/Calc/Draw?

Yeah, this seems like an easy lawsuit in the EU tbh

Apple have a reasonable track record of pushing back against governments

Only when it comes to individual consumer cases like terrorists or other crimes. When it comes to large scale political movements then they are very quick to lend authoritarian governments a hand, see for example their cooperation with the CCP to suppress the Hong Kong protests. But they have also always cooperated with police to some degree and this has only gotten worse.

Forbes for the lack of a better source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2024/10/09/apple-sells-privacy-to-consumers-but-its-quietly-helping-police-use-iphones-for-surveillance/

There’s a widespread perception that Apple has a combative relationship with law enforcement after the company refused to help the FBI hack into the iPhone of the shooter in the 2015 San Bernardino terrorist attacks. But since then, it has ramped up collaboration with police through the conference and other meetings with agencies at both Cupertino HQ and its Elk Grove campus, as well as a variety of previously unreported projects helping cops use iPhones, Macs, Apple Vision Pro and CarPlay, the emails show. Most of these projects have not been announced publicly.

Apple declined to comment.

People just love believing in Apple for some weird reasons.

Accelerationism is a range of ideologies that call for the drastic intensification of capitalist growth, technological change, and other processes of social change to destabilize existing systems

Yeah this is first sentence of the wikipedia article about it. I mean its also kinda in the name “accelerate” implies there is something that already exists that people want to accelerate. So a preventable zombie apocalypse doesnt fit no matter which way it is framed.
