“Bad news” is not the issue. “The ongoing deterioration of both my rights and my standard of living” is the issue!

WTF do you mean, “easily?” Do you have any fucking clue whatsoever how many times Trump should have had consequences applied to him already???

They’re not just asking for random people to be taken off

Yes. That’s how this works. They are indeed taking random people off the rolls.

No, he’s right: they’re not taking “random” people off the rolls; they’re choosing who to challenge based on specific characteristics.

Good luck with that. You can “disagree” all the way to the concentration camp.

It’s on Biden to personally demonstrate to SCOTUS just how dangerous the ruling was.

No, that’s not how it works. The homeless are being converted into prison slaves.

Besides Jill Stein attending the same dinner as Putin, and accusing the west of encircling Russia, mind elaborating your view of her being a Russian asset?

“All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?”

They’re more locked-down by the manufacturer than desktops, so they’re more “trusted” by corporations to act in corporate interests at the expense of yours.

Sucks to be them, LOL!

How do you know they aren’t in a 2 party consent state?

I don’t give a shit if they’re in a two party consent state, because I’m not and so that state doesn’t have any jurisdiction over me.

That’s when it’s time to shame, ridicule, ostracize, and exile. People like that do not deserve the benefits of living in a society.

You consented by calling me. Fuck off with this notion that you’re allowed to dictate what I am or am not allowed to do with my own property.

Yes it does. That’s exactly what they just ruled.

That’s not how it worked. Past tense!

product specifically evolved as a pesticide.

A.K.A., a poison.

“Natural” doesn’t mean “good” – lots of natural things are poisonous.

Do you want a fascist dicatorship? 'Cause letting assholes be dangerously wrong without pushback is how you get a fascist dictatorship.

TIL augmenting my memory is “be[ing] an asshole,” but telling me that I don’t have the right to help myself remember isn’t.

Recording Limitations on Android

Google has never been particularly fond of call-recording apps for Android, at least not those from third parties. With Android 9, the company added limitations that prevented many apps from recording your phone conversations. The apps continued to work, but when you played the recording, you could only hear your end of the conversation—or complete silence.

Android 10 cracked down even further on these types of apps by blocking call recording via the microphone. In response, many app developers started tapping into Android’s Accessibility Service to record phone calls. But Google then updated its developer policy in April 2022 to state that it would not allow apps in the Play Store to use the accessibility service for call recording. That policy went into effect on May 11, 2022.

The company has even gone so far as to label call recording a type of spyware. “Behaviors that can be considered as spying on the user can also be flagged as spyware,” Google said in its developer policy. “For example, recording audio or recording calls made to the phone, or stealing app data.”

In the past, people were able to find workarounds to Google’s block, such as changing the audio source or format, turning the speaker volume as loud as possible, recording manually instead of automatically, and even rooting their phones. Others have since taken to sideloading call-recording apps through an APK file rather than downloading them directly from Google Play.

The version of Android installed on your phone also plays a role in all this. Apps on devices with Android 9 and earlier should still be able to record phone calls without bumping into Google’s latest restrictions. But apps on phones with Android 10 or higher that try to use the accessibility service may run afoul of Google’s new policy.

I’ve looked through the F-Droid repository for a call-recording app before, but didn’t find one that worked. It’s been a while, so maybe I ought to try again. Otherwise, I’m open to suggestions!

Where’s my damn flying car?
