I would say it’s likely related to ColorOS or Play Services (or both) tracking something behind the scenes and feeding it to your ad profile. You’ve done a lot to try to reduce your fingerprint but it sounds like it could be something harder to track down.
Have you considered switching to another version of Android that uses microG to reduce Play Service permissions or another phone with GrapheneOS? That may be the next option unfortunately.
Honestly, if it were published 10 years ago, I’d agree with you. But since it was published literally 2 days ago, it’s at best tone deaf and a bit ignorant or at worst… well, you heard what others have said.
Edit: Replied to wrong person. 🤦♀️
I like that theme but as i understand it, having a custom css theme may reduce your anonymity while browsing, if you’re concerned about that.
He’s been saying this sort of shit for years. I’m glad people are finally seeing him for who he is.
Sorry, I thought that was the stance you were taking based on the conversation.
Right. That’s why treating animals inhumanely is bad. Maybe having empathy for other living beings in general would be a better solution.
Unfortunately, this seems to be something that might be changing in the future. Google isn’t going to be open source with android development anymore.
The assurance that no matter how much they mess up, they will have government backing.
You’re completely right about the half-truths not being a good look for the left. It only serves to erode trust in media and rhetoric. The reason it worked for the right is because that type of propaganda works on idiots that don’t bother to investigate or can’t actually comprehend what is going on. It’s not going to have the same effect for those that haven’t fallen for the rights tricks.
What we actually need is more truth to be reported and more democratic politicians to actually have a backbone or getting replaced by a leftist who does.
There’s a lot of reasons to make your own project even if something similar exists. Differing codebase, feature roadmap, UX/UI direction, contributor politics, or even because they want to make something from scratch to add to their portfolio.
More options are better for everyone.
I think an open source paper cnc machine similar to a cricut would be way easier to replicate than a standard printer.
Definitely check out GrapheneOS. It pretty much addresses what you’re asking about, aside from root access.
At least dealing with some portion of the problem is a good start and we’re still inventing new methods of dealing with microplastics, so until nearly all the trash is gathered larger trash cleanup efforts are worthwhile. Apparently 92% of the mass is made up of larger objects, so these need addressed first anyways.
True! Oniomania is not the same as an economic system that sets those with capital above others with less capital.
There are definitely some economic systems that might help both though.
Its all about the disruption. But protesting isn’t the only thing that people should be doing. Community building is just as important if not more so.
Source-available isn’t the same as free and open-source. You might not be able to distribute or modify as you like to the former and may have any sort of license provisioned with further restrictions.
I’m sure it would persist even after an event of malicious activity. It may just turn out like email with servers needing to be added to an allowlist at worst and more moderation. I think scalability might be the limiting factor at some point though and as a result we could end up with several disconnected islands of server clusters instead of globally meshed servers.
They were new in the 1700s. They are not a new thing for humans today. If you don’t use vaccines you are an outlier to modern society.
There are ways to successfully circumvent Google’s tracking methods. It’s all based on how much you care about being tracked and how much convenience you’re willing to give up.
