Google says YOU must wait 24 hours if you download an app onto your OWN DEVICE if it's from an "Unverified developer". What ever happened to user choice and Android freedom?! 😡

Google has started rolling out its new ""Advanced Flow", which requires you to wait a 24-hour waiting period if you want to install apps from unverified developers.

Google plans to restrict side-loading, declaring war on Android freedom | Tuta

Starting 2027, Google will block apps on Android devices whose developers have not registered with Google, paid, and given their ID. It’s fair to say that Google is becoming Apple: Your device, their rules.

It wasn't the fact you censored it, it was the fact you label yourself as a "blind person" in your bio yet still called someone a retard and it is pathetically stupid you did such.

Call me whatever names you won't I don't give two fucking shits but II was pointing out the irony in your statement.

@liachra I didn't call you it, I deliberately starred it out for that reason, but wow, guess I can't even censor things without being accused of saying the actual thing. I'll keep that in mind, but that is definitely an example of what I was talking about when I said that most people have still stuck around on the other platforms. @adisonverlice @apps

It’s a country of violent puritans. Remember that, and it explains so much of what they do.

@jpm @todayilearned the many ways in which the US was a past success (by some measures) as well as being a hellscape for many others, and particularly now its undeniable decline into a christofascist bin fire is almost exclusively attributable to the violent puritanical streak and the various socio-economic-political mindsets that spring from it.

A black and white icon of a stack of money. They call it currency because of the way it flows, like water slipping through your fingers. Unlike water though, the current of currency flows upward. The top gets more, while the bottom runs dry.

Something that bothers me about weather forecasts is how they communicate precipitation is going to happen

100% probability of rain tomorrow means it will certainly rain tomorrow but it doesn’t mean it will rain 100% of tomorrow, it may be the quickest 1min shower

I want to know how much of my day will be impacted by precipitation, if they could say that instead, it would be a lot more useful

This guy made a video and talked about "carpenter ants" and he showed:

* Iridomyrmex
* Formica
* Dinomyrmex gigas

Not one of these are carpenter ants... I guess Dinomyrmex gigas kind of counts... since they used to be Camponotus gigas... but COME ON MAN ... everyone knows this stuff.

(No it wasn't AI, it was just human error which I frankly kind of enjoy. Gives me something to talk about...)

Ah ouais c'est marrant moi j'avais l'impression que la première conséquence c'était les forêts détruites, les milliers de déplacés climatiques et les galères avec les températures mortelles.
