It’s crazy how effective it is too. Especially on places like Tiktok

Lmao go away troll

Country: is literally invaded
Some dude online: but US could have invaded too in some parallel universe!

Lmao

There are more than 2 options here.

Because Tibet never got the chance to transition to a modern country. FYI China invaded in 1950 Oct 6th - at that time big chunk of the world was still theocratic, autocratic and slave owning.

The tech is flawed? Bicycles are the most efficient mode of transportation bar none

Efficient in what regard? it has 0% efficiency when it comes to covering me from rain or the sun. Now what?

Or still actively occupy Tibet, how conveniently everyone forgot that but yay a slightly cheaper car!

I’m happy you have this privilidge but reality is majority of the world doesn’t. E-bikes are still not accessible to most and that’ll continue to be the way because the tech is fundamentally flawed without fundamental architecture redesign which will take decades at least.

Do you really think that CCP politely declines this free data? It’s so easy to hide spyware under “anonymous performance telimetry” - didn’t we learn anything from Cabridge Analytica and a billion of other cases? God lord, you people deserve to be spied on.

Yes it literally phones back every bit of data. What other evidence do you need?

What a defeatist take.

I’m genuinely surprised people be ok with BYD on Lemmy. It’s authoritarian spyware, period. There are more options than these two - ww don’t have to choose the lesser evil.

The ebike option meme is so laughable. I recently did some research on cargo bikes and the entry models cost as much as a used ICE car with no air con, no rain cover, no heating, no safety. Ebike people are straight up delusional in thinking this is ready to replace cars.

Getting a second hand ice car is objectively the best thing you can do right now for everyone involved unless you ride half a million km a year.

Saying Apple is bad is not tech tribalism. Even in this shitty duolopoly competition is good and reflecting on platform differences is what pushes them to compromise. If android didn’t have side loading Apple would have never been forced to open up in europe and if Apple didn’t have magsafe we would never have qi2 etc.

It’s objectively good to have conflict here unless you believe in some twisted form of accelerationism where both platforms should burn in a fire and which clearly will never happen.

Its not in effect yet and you will still be able if the developer of the app signs the app with their verified email which is 99% of the apps. You can also just disable Google Play protect. I’m a dev and poke ADB every day for security tests.

Don’t get me wrong it’s still very bad news but Apple’s side is infinitely worse.

What did I say that is not true?

But they are objectively better though that’s beside the point tbh. Normal peoppe don’t care that much about these issues unfortunately and thats why Google’s Pixel event was basically a TV shop for house moms rather than highlight on side loading and freedom.

I do agree that regression is awful with the latest Google news that they’ll require developer identification for Google play protect and made me cancel my pixel 10 pre order. It’s incredibly shameful eventhough it can be bypassed with 1 setting toggle for now.

You can literally download any apk and install it in seconds. You can also install any app store like f-droid and install free software.

I really dont understand your corporate loyalty - is Apple paying you?
