The CEO is Russian. He formerly owned VK and sold it off to the Russian govt iirc.
He was forced out. This wasn't a voluntary thing. At least from what I had read last about it.
Yeah unfortunately I flash my phone with new roms too often to make signal a daily driver. Every time I do so I lose all my prior chats. Haven't used it in a few years though.
I've been using Telegram primarily and it's nice being able to logon to any device and have my chat history, but it doesn't seem secure at all. I imagine the NSA has direct access to it.
You have to realize, when you are getting a cat you are entering into voluntary serfdom.
She is the owner, you are the pet. YTA
There was an effort to defederate from an instance that has maybe 1000 users?
Huh, interesting. Also interesting is that it leveled off as of late. I know people like to go "muh Reagan" but what happened specifically in the 1980s? As a Republican, I dislike Reagan. I think I'm the only one of my kind.
Can't wait till Cosmic! Keep up the good work, Pop staff!
Pretty much every one of my phones so far have been on unofficial Lineage branches lol. But I do like the specs of the next Zenphone (I'll miss SD card storage but...I guess I'll get over it.) I'll look forward to it though, thanks.
I can't justify over a grand on Sony's phones lol.
Sallie Mae wasn't even a thing until 1973. Literally not boomers LOL. Federal student loans were very uncommon back before the 90s even and applied to only a few different areas, not everything. It is incredibly clear that something happened in the early 2000s that caused the current fiasco, with both tuition and debt skyrocketing.
My Reddit account was permabanned because I posted (about a guy who killed a teenager who came to his house) "You know, I've changed my mind. Give this guy the chair. Not as a punishment but as a mercy. If I had grandkids like that I'd want to be mercy killed too!" The grandkid I was referring to was a screenshot of his grandon's Twitter calling him a Nazi.
Banned for "inciting violence" or some horse shit. Appealed for 30 days straight, now every one of my appeals is instantly denied by some bot.
Just be glad you don't have to spend more time in that shithole.
Redditor for 13 years I think. Same username as the one I sport on here.
It's not minimum wage's fault, it's the government guaranteeing student loans. Tuition skyrocketed since then and has been out of control since.
Then with so many people being told "You have to go to college so you don't become a garbageman!" the requirements for most jobs increased as well. Manufacturing in pharma, for instance, I could take a kid out of middle school and teach him the job in an hour. Get fresh grads from college for a bachelor's degree and they still need an hour of teaching. But now the Bachelors is required for some reason.
Ironically, garbage man pays pretty decent for some minimal manual labor.
The Zenphone looks nice, but I really want the SD card slot :/
Hackable? Able to install Lineage/custom android?
Why is that relevant to the conversation?
