Or literally anything else with a screen

How else would you convey that information?

They are not using money from revenue but are using investment money to do their work

They are a private company not held by the public

They have to turn a profit eventually

Growth phase and startup are redundant but they're true, they're a new company

Yeah that's what sucks about this. But you don't have to really call for intimate messages. WhatsApp cannot read you message since it's E2EE but they do store and use the metadata. So a casual message and an intimate messages are the same in a WhatsApp server's eyes.

"Because I don't want PayPal doing the same"

Honestly they're both annoying because they take a fee on top of the credit card company fee. Just cut out the middleman and use the credit card option.

Fine just know that this is entitled behavior and you're just perpetuating the ad-block ad-block-redtector rat race.

Yeah but those are the issues that I have. The idea is to have a private phone where you don't have to worry about Google harvesting your data and keeping it forever. But when you have an OS that has all these features and then use the Google services that take all that data, what is the point?

Also it’s quite a security issue since it needs signature spoofing to work which is insecure by definition.

According to the last paragraph here, the spoofing at least in Calyx is limited to only microG. It's less secure than a sandboxed thing, but I don't think it's gonna be that bad.

They're actual filters but they just go to about maybe 2500K and I'm looking for as low as 1500K. Something similar to CF.Lumen but without the root.

If that's the case then why do cars cry about wanting internet connection for updates?

So you have no problem with DRM right?

[-] spookedbyroaches@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

You know I haven't really thought of it that way. A huge problem with the way people are thinking is that we want to see the other side fail or be worse off. It doesn't really have to be like that, we can just make what we have better.

Although I gotta say, it is nice to have a service that your real life friends might use that you can discuss things with them. I find it kind of annoying sometimes that I have to explain everything that I use like the Fediverse or Matrix, or other services that I self host. But I guess that's a price you gotta pay for freedom.
