Same. Last phone 5 years. Current phone 2 years. See zero reason in upgrading, especially to another big tech device or OS.

Really hoping a true Linux phone and OS materialises in the next couple of years. Something that isn’t beholden to any corporate monopoly or cartel. My requirements are basic. Apart from a dozen core mobile features/apps, everything can be done through a browser.

Said the fascist sociopathic pedophile.

Funny… I don’t recall Biden invading Venezuela, or drumming up lies about drugs then stealing their oil.

This isn’t the American people. It’s the will of thousands of the world’s most powerful multinational oligarchs — billionaires and old money millionaire elites (plus all their class-traitor lapdogs and puppets) — who are actively corrupting ALL politics and public discourse; waging class warfare, globally.

Murdoch is one of the most well-known examples, but I’m sure there are hundreds (if not thousands) of fossil fuel and military contractor investors or board members — you’ve never heard of — who are criminally corrupt psychopaths that deserve to be in the dirt.

These people’s only allegiance is to the almighty dollar. They have no real virtue, morals, or ethics.

And the Republicans fascists specifically voted against revoking those powers in the last couple of months.

They’ve know this was coming for months, because the United corporations of America already paid their political puppet class numerous bribes to steal Venezuela’s oil.

I always figured that the dying of stars is what propelled matter from solar systems and mixed everything together. Never even heard that the solar winds were a primary mechanism.

I also find it hilarious that every global multinational offshored everything they possibly could to China, thus their own operations are directly subsidised by the CCP and Chinese labor, yet they cry foul when consumers buy from them directly.

“Sure we cut 90% of our western workforce, dramatically reduced the quality of jobs and pay for the remaining 10%, directly financing and empowering the CCP for decades, and kept all the profits for ourselves, but consumers are the terrible ones for not supporting our skeleton onshore operation (which we will automate 100% of if able to)”

I guarantee Americas military industrial complex lobbied day and night to ensure the piecemeal quagmire and perpetual subscription were chosen over the “1 week annihilation of all Russian forces within Ukraines borders”.

Christianity is the religion of peace, after all.

It’s literally just the network effect. At this point most of the user base probably has an account to keep track of birthdays, organise occasional social events, sell shit on marketplace, etc. That’s why they bought Instagram. FB was rendered irrelevant through enshittification.

As with messaging, if all of the big tech cartels were forced to implement an open source protocol that enabled users with data portability and interoperability, then the platforms would have to directly compete, and their value would drop 100x. Their only value is the closed network and holding user data hostage.

It’s kinda ridiculous how braindead conservatives are everywhere. They’ll do everything they can to blame foreigners — every possible “other” — for all the problems they’ve created or ignored, rather than acknowledge that they are ignorant and incompetent.

Okay, so why are attacks targeting Jewish people the wrong time to discuss how dangerous the Israeli states actions are to the global Jewish diaspora?

The Islamic world has not grown anti-jewish over the last century in a vacuum, just like they didn’t grow anti-American in a vacuum. The exact same binary “you’re either with us or against us” rhetoric has been displayed after every terrorist attack since 9/11. It’s never the right time to discuss how our own past and present crimes recruit current and future enemies. They just hate us for our freedoms — who we are and our way of life — and that’s the only narrative our ministries of truth deploy.

When is the right time to acknowledge that injustice radicalises people? Once everyone is blind?

How long do we have to act as though Israel’s genocide is not directly causing a sharp increase in “antisemitism” globally?

They wouldn’t get to meet God. They’d go straight to hell.

Fuck the capitalist dictatorships we live in, where corporations are free to pollute and murder without ever facing criminal charges when they poison everything… because they’re also free to poison our political, legal, and judicial systems.

Didn’t we fight fascism for the freedom to not give a fuck about “conservative” and “traditional” “values”… most of which are based on nothing more than opinions and feefees?

It certainly sucks, but he was in his late 60’s when it happened. He’s almost 80 now.

He’s had a great and full life, and he has great care; most people don’t get either of those things. Aging sucks.

Then state it was an accident, due to a “special military operation”.

This is what happens every time calculated efforts to dehumanize a population have occurred in history; psychopaths and sadists are enabled to do evil, psychotic shit.

It’s insane, but it should be expected. Fascists have been using social media, traditional media, and surveillance capitalism — big data and analytics — to wage psychological warfare for decades. Most of the major players are American corporations, and all of the world’s elite/oligarchs are all invested in them; they’re all just as anti-democratic, pro-authoritarianism, mentally ill, criminally corrupt, and depraved as each other.

This is the expected result when fascist state media like News Corp are allowed to exist; spewing disinformation 24/7. When a class of ultra-wealthy are allowed to exist, and the multi-tiered “democratic” and “justice” systems they create. When criminals are allowed to operate behind the liability shield of an LLC.
