I never really used “lol” and even when I sometimes want to, it just feels weird so I end up not to.

I’m still the same, just with smiley faces :) used to practically use them as periods at the end of a sentence :D

Who is keeping these people hostage and forcing them to smile?

The monkey that is going to jump from the TV, probably.

Hell, you can manipulate what people see with their own eyes.

What I meant was that any recorded evidence will be tough to take on face value. One thing is manipulating, other is manufacturing with striking accuracy. While there are still signs, it’s much more subtle now.

Having a reliable source that you trust certainly goes a long way. Not fool proof, but I’d say good enough. Still good idea not to consider it a source of absolute truth and to continue to think critically.

Otherwise, eye witnesses will be crucial. “Pics or it didn’t happen” is a relic of a bygone age.

What I meant is that some people just don’t want to give ther money to Mullvad, since some of it will end in his pocket to finance a political party they don’t agree with.

Not sure how involved he is but I guess as a co-founder he is bound to be getting some of the Mullvad money

Lately I have to restart my internet from the settings every couple of days- I didn’t actually think to use airplane mode, will be trying that next time.

Edit: so tested it soomer than I thought and yep, sure enough airplane mode fixes it. So thanks for this life hack. Good to know I’m not the only one as well.

My understanding is that no… not yet anyway. Phones with GrapheneOS are not “verified” Android so you can proceed to install whatever.

There will b .indirect damage with some devs likely stopping development as their userbase might get smaller still - if they refuse registering with Google.

And I guess there is a future when Google will start tightening the noose on Android itself, which will likely make alternate Android OSs harder to develop (though I know nothing about these things, I sense this is an option down the line).

I think there is a way to allow this - the way involves a 24h wait time
