  • America has gone full nazi at this point,

    • you have the SS, i mean ICE police
    • you have Auschwitz camp in another country, I mean el Salvador
    • courts have no power anymore, supreme court works for trump
    • congress is in on it
    • the richest guy in the world is making nazi salutes

    what else is there ? They will even make a deal with russia to divide ukraine, just like stalin and hitler did with poland.


  • how is pixel with graphene os ? does it completely remove all google spyware shit? or do they have some sort of hardware backdoor?

    the reason I ask is because i have a motorola right now and it pisses me off immensely … there is this notification they keep pushing, “Activate Live Lock screen” which i don’t even know what it is, some background pictures crap. I uninstalled this app, but the notification remains. Like it’s not there always but keeps coming back every few days. this has been going on for months and i got so pissed i decided to contact support and complain there. they said, something along the lines of, we can connect remotely and do it for you. ( like disable, but they can’t disable because i went through every option on the phone, it cannot be disabled, it’s just bloatware) but their “we can do it for you remotely” got me thinking, backdoors, backdoors everywhere.

    now i want a new phone lol and one that can support a custom firmware but installing custom firmwares on pretty much all phones is a nightmare.

    but i also hate buying anything google, hence my question.






  • yeah small companies are scared of it so they all use that cookie notice. i am from slovenia and i reported a few of those websites that literally steal your personal info off a linkedin and sell it in a “business yellow pages” or something. i got so many scam or spam phonecalls selling me all sort of stupid services, practically daily for a while. i reported it to our GDRP inspector or whatever they’re called, some sort of representative to EU’s inspector and they said there is nothing they can do.

    i didn’t do quite the full procedure. you’re supposed to send the company a snail mail notice first and then after a month if they don’t comply you’re supposed to fill out some official forms. I just emailed them and complained that i can’t even find their registered addresses.

    perhaps if i’d done the whole procedure, they could’ve purse it further but i doubt it since those are companies registered in all sorts of tax havens, like panama or curacao. how is slovenian authority or EU one going to purse some fake company from panama?

    and then you have big conglomerates like facebook or twitter who literally rather pay a few million fine and sell data to advertisers than comply and make zero with it or even lose money with compliance.












  • Hot damn, i am also not an economist, I had to read that article 3 times just to grasps what Yanis is trying to say.

    So in essence, when Trump and Musk said, brace for recession, it will have to be bad before it gets good, this article confirms it.

    Trump wants to devalue the dollar to boost exports and thus strengthen the domestic production?

    This i don’t understand though:

    This is what his critics do not understand. They mistakenly think that he thinks that his tariffs will reduce America’s trade deficit on their own. He knows they will not. Their utility comes from their capacity to shock foreign central bankers into reducing domestic interest rates. Consequently, the euro, the yen and the renminbi will soften relative to the dollar. This will cancel out the price hikes of goods imported into the US, and leave the prices American consumers pay unaffected. The tariffed countries will be in effect paying for Trump’s tariffs.

    So foreign currencies will also soften relative to the dollar? How can all currencies devalue at the same time? Is he trying to create world wide recession ?

    If someone could ELI5 for us, that’d be great.

    Another thing I’d like to mention, I respect Yanis a lot but Trump has never given us any indication he indeed thinks and understands economics on this level. Maybe he treats us all as dumbasses and dumbs it down for us but the truth is, he has never spoken in terms that would indicate he understands economy at this level. So he’s either getting muppetered by others or Yanis is giving him too much credit.
