I mean sure, but you can’t deny it’s misused sometimes. I never said it didn’t happen at all. Stop reading what I didn’t write.

You can do that without calling someone sexist.

They do provide vaccines. Just not for flu specifically.

They actually make some planes from composites now. You should see the 787! Then again American made Boeing planes tend to crash or have other safety issues so maybe don’t go and see one.

Exactly

That’s another one I don’t understand. In my country at least when I grew up (born 2001) most kids didn’t get chickenpox vaccines. I didn’t have one and actually caught the virus. I think I even had a scar from it. I know someone about 4 years younger than me who also is scarred from it. Not sure if they started giving it out now. I certainly hope so.

Most people don’t have insurance. I certainly don’t. Why would you have health insurance in a country with free healthcare?

I never said they were a bad thing. Just never heard of people getting them who aren’t elderly. Generally because it’s something you have to pay for and nobody likes needles anyway.

What are you talking about? What’s a clot shot?

You guys have flu vaccines? In the UK only old people get them.

Edit: Not sure why I am getting downvoted for pointing out that things work differently in different countries. Jeez.

Anubis?

What makes you think I can’t handle disagreement? If If think someone is using shaky reasoning I am allowed to call them out, and use my actual knowledge on the subject to defend my point.

I am not saying google or apple have the best of intentions. They don’t and that’s why I use GrapheneOS.

Sandboxing is generally a good thing so long as it’s done in a transparent way that can be controlled by the user. Hence the popularity of flatpaks, AppArmor and why GrapheneOS has even stricter sandboxing options than stock android. Walled garden ecosystems aren’t good, and neither is spying. Apple is guilty of both of those, with google being guilty of the latter. You’re painting all of these distinct things with the same brush even though they are basically cross purposes to each other. Different mechanisms are made for different reasons. The current state of mobile is the result of more than one decision made with different aims in mind. I am not saying that security is the primary consideration for all of these, certainly telemetry wasn’t added for security reasons. Just that it’s not as simple as you want to think. Nuances exist.

This is not subjective either. Someone somewhere will know the actual reasons these decisions were made. Even though we don’t know the exact thought process behind them, we can still reason about what these mechanisms do and are useful for. Android itself is open source and these mechanisms are reviewed by other security researchers. You’re just saying that to get out of the leg work of actually understanding the nuts and bolts of this stuff and what is and isn’t supporting the end user.

Your confusing different parts of the system here, and showing a lack of understanding of the security and privacy concepts involved.

Stopping malicious apps is not the point of the permissions model or of the file structure. It’s meant to restrict what malicious apps can do, not prevent them from being installed. It applies to side loaded apps just as much as ones from the play store. Malicious code ending up on users devices does not make that system a failure, as that was never the aim.

As for spying, the permissions model makes that harder as apps can’t just access all the files made by the other apps. These kinds of mechanisms also exist on desktop Linux via flatpak and snapcraft for similar reasons. Mandatory and discretionary access control is important for both security and privacy. The two are not at odds here, they are in fact very much aligned.

The app store part is separate and not at all what was being discussed. That is meant to stop malicious apps from getting onto devices. In the case of Apple this is definitely also about control, but android has always allowed third party apps and sideloading.

Google’s own services and Apple’s own services are part of the OS and potentially have access to things others don’t so can very much engage in spying. That could be said of any Android manufacturer with their own ROM. You can do whatever you want if you made the ROM, android permissions model be damned.

What reason do you think? Also what makes you think it was a failure? Seems pretty successful to me.

It’s mainly done for security reasons, but yes it is not the most friendly way of doing things.

Where do you find stuff on the eDonkey Network?

Sea lioning is when you relentlessly pursue someone for evidence. I am not asking for evidence, I am asking what you are talking about in the first place. How am I supposed to understand what you are talking about if you aren’t willing to explain?

I gave a quick look into it and it seems it has nothing to do with lesbians or women in general, but is a law effecting everyone that some facilities and police officers have abused in potentially illegal ways. If what I am reading is correct this is a serious problem, but has not much in particular to do with what you are talking about. From what I can see it’s an issue to do with ableism, not homophobia or sexism. So you must clearly know something I don’t, or are just trying to waste both of our time.

Who do you think “my type” is exactly? Why do you think I have to be your enemy? You talk about engaging in good faith, while doing the exact opposite. All I asked is for an explanation, which would be simple and easy to do, and I may well even agree with whatever it is you are referring to. Instead you play mind games and try to be insulting. If you actually want to get people on your side this isn’t how you do it.

I mean yeah, your being deliberately obtuse and rude for no reason, even though what you are talking about only applies to a certain geopolitical area. You’re literally expecting me and everyone else to have knowledge of something even though there is not reason anyone outside the USA or California should know about it. You’re also relying on implications, which isn’t great when half the people on this site are autistic including yours truly. It’s like if I expected you to know what a Pacer train is and what it implies about the state of rail transportation in northern england. Like what you don’t live in England and have an interest in trains?

Are you trying to say that gay women get put on suicide holds for illegitimate reasons? If so why not just say that and stop being an ableist arsehole?

No you didn’t. You said they were a rite of passage which doesn’t make sense. Are you capable of explaining what on earth your talking about?

What does this have to do with gay women?
