That’s what I thought, but when I talk to these sick people they say they “like” the loud, horrible, scary, obnoxious sound. They do it because they feel pleasure with the sound itself.

If it was true, they would do it even if they were alone. They would drive to the middle of nowhere to enjoy their horrible sound without other noise. But they only do it in heavily populated areas. Almost if they are really just fucking assholes wanting attention.

What is the truth? I guess we’ll never know. I can only hope for the law to be changed.

But unlike you, I wish no harm to the machines. Only to the drivers. Machines are useful tools, even if loud. The drivers should lose the right to drive. If you remove their tool they will find another one to misuse.

The drivers are the problems, the criminals. Not the tool they use to commit crime.

Why the down votes?

A company removed your freedom, their founder even famously saying that consumer don’t know what they want but apple does, knowingly give up all their rights to a corporation when there are alternatives, declare that they trust the corporation, accept when the corporation forbids them from giving anyone else money, and now they are going to cry when the corporation fucks them? Like it did several times in the past and yet they remained loyal?

Apple users are insane… The only reason to use android is because it’s the only current viable alternative to apple. But they use their stuff out of some weird masochistic choice, and then cries when their daddy beats them.

They 100% deserve what they got while they keep rewarding apple for their evil behaviour.

And if I ever give Google money, I 100% deserve to get fucked while using it too. And it would be stupid to expect anything else.

That loud cars not only exist, but there are actually more of them than in 3rd world countries. That it’s a “culture” here, and people actually use their excess money to make cars louder, bigger and more dangerous to everyone else (not the driver, he pays extra for his safety).

Coming from a 3rd world country to Australia it was one of my biggest disappointments. I thought we had loud cars because we we’re “uncivilised” or didn’t have the money to fix them. I was so wrong…

There are many others, but I guess this was the biggest illusion I had about first world countries.

I put crDroid on my pixel 5 and I’m never looking back at graphene again.

But I would have replaced it even if it was still supported. Too apple " we know what’s good for you and you don’t " for me.

To complement the above reply, although you paid a lot for the car, you’re paying even more daily, giving many away to very nasty companies that will turn your investment against you to increase their profit. Your data will be sold and you’re donating money to billionaires.

Is that what you want? Are you happy to have ads on a windows install you already paid, for example?

Because that’s what you’re doing. If you got a massive discount on account of the daily extra profit you’ll give them I would understand. But if not, why be so charitable to people who don’t deserve it?

I’m seeing now that there’s the gapps button on the download page. So yeah, you can install it of you want but it doesn’t come with it. It has only some spoof options to pretend the device is different for netflix, gplay and so on.

If I do find any google something I’ll try a different ROM.

I know there are other options. It was just hypothetical.

But no way. Just building the prusa mini was way harder than I thought. Took me days and I messed up many things. I wouldn’t try something even harder. Not that I have any way of having a 3d printer anymore… I’m trying to sell my prusa because of that. But I’ll stop trying to convince people to buy prusa.

There’s the choice of not selling this. It’s not like it will be crucial to them.

I’m sure there are a lot of areas in spying software, for instance, that israel offer unique and lucrative products. But I have the choice to invest on something else instead.

We’re talking about genocidal maniacs here. There’s not a lot of excuses to support them.

Ah yeah, I meant if I had to chose between the options. To illustrate that that’s a greater evil.

This is the direct link. So it is true. I’ll contact them to ask for details. This is unacceptable.

The vast majority of their population doesn’t care about the genocide, the vast majority served in the military, there are almost no civilians in that invasion.

Why would you, if you have any ethics, partner with people with a massive chance of being pro genocide unless there is no other option in the world?

Also if it’s money going to their economy, to be converted directly into dead bodies.

I had noticed how their ethical standard seemed to be going down from the kind of spam from them I’ve been getting. But I held then to such high regard for their old open source contributions that I refused to believe.

Thanks a lot for that into. I think I’m convinced now. No one with any ethics would partner with any Israeli company unless there was literally no other choice in the world.

I’d rather use proprietary products.

Sorry, I don’t know what GAAP is. I think you can use microg, but in not sure. I want to stay as far away from anything related to google play as I can. It’s my main reason to use a custom ROM, to get rid of it.

But if I had to use lineage I think I would go back to graphene since it’s similar but more secure. But if you don’t have a pixel you don’t have a choice.

If crdroid supports your device, definitely give it a try and test all customisation options before giving up. It’s a lot better than it seems.

And I find out now as I write this that the keyboard is awesome! Better swype than Samsung.

I just have no idea what the life of a Facebook user, for instance, is like. What apps do they use, do they wear Facebook glasses? Facebook buttplugs? Can they use adblock?

It’s a wild, unknown world, and I hope to keep it that way. What everyone knows is that they are filthy rich and they got there with private data. And that’s all everyone needs to know to decide if they want to make them richer and their data is the tool for that.

But the specifics elude me.

To be honest, since I have adblock I find it hard to understand too. How can that make so much money? But all the current richest companies and people built their empire on private data right? Google, Facebook, elon musk and so on, so it’s very easy to see the proof. You give them your data, you give them money.

Now, power is easier to understand. If you want to control or kill people, the more information you have the better. It’s easy to see why evil governments have always loved spying.

One thing I find it odd that I don’t ever see mentioned is the most obvious: private data is money and power for companies. Do you like X (meta, google, literal moronic x, etc) company that much that you want to donate money to them and make them more powerful?

Almost no one would say yes. They don’t care about their privacy, but they certainly don’t think poor zuckeberg needs some donations and more power.

It’s by far the biggest reason I care about my data. If I liked the company I wouldn’t mind the donation. But only evil companies would try to profit from personal data, so that can’t exist. My hate for these companies and my wish to see them destroyed far outweighs my concern with my privacy.

That includes governments of course. The one with the most spying, like the US or israel are the ones I hate the most and try as much as I can to not give them more power.

Yeah, I don’t know. I know that there are softwares specific for invoicing but I’ve never used one, nor did I use to send too many invoices. Most of the time I was an employee, doing some other freelances, so it wasn’t too much to keep track.

I used Inkscape because I was more used to it, working with graphics most of my life. LibreOffice is probably easier. But I don’t know how that’s supposed to be done with proprietary softwares either.

Hopefully someone with more experience on this can help him.

What software do you use?

I worked with 3D for decades and Blender replaced almost everything. The performance is actually better on Linux. I personally use Linux mint, but regarding software it barely matters what distro you use nowadays.

But support, compatibility, ease of use can vary a lot. I haven’t used another distro for many years so I can’t say much.

If you rely on autodesk and adobe stuff you will probably suffer. But personally I would say it’s deserved because there are not a lot of companies more evil than them. The sooner you start trying alternatives the better.

Invoicing I just used inkscape but it’s not great. Be prepared to make some sacrifices, but it’s all worthy to get rid of microsoft.

they contracted with the AFP to run the first node of the server and process the data. (Australian law does not provide the same protections as U.S. law for its citizens.)

Thanks for that link. I didn’t know that. We are below the US in privacy laws! Is there any first world country worst than Australia?

They said all users were criminals, but who knows what they are calling a crime, specially with the retarded laws down here…

It shows what I suspected, that Australian software and servers must be avoided even more than Americans.

I guess I committed a crime. Sorry, I never meant to say all of them are worth the same. Otherwise all those targeted groups could go and invade a country and call it their own, and make atomic bombs and attack anyone they don’t like.

That would destroy civilization. Only a few chosen people should have their excuse to do that legally protected.

Sarcasm warning.
