Somewhat untrue by my experience. If you use a custom Rom purposely built without google’s garbage then yes, sure. But on normal devices, even if you don’t log into a google account, android is still going to use google services for at least notifications and location. Google Play Services will still be running in the background all the time sending constant network requests.

Maybe Ukranian with US help? I mean last attack on EU infrastructure was done by them so there is precedents, I guess we are missing the motive this time…

I would not be against all of this (being able to change device while keeping all app data, including logins would be pretty cool), if it wasn’t could based on Google’s servers. No thanks.

Our sanctions are working fine! Thanks to them, not only we are strenghtening the relations between coutries that dislike the west (like 80% of the world?), but we italians are also so happy to be buying overpriced and extra polluting US liquified natural gas trasported by ships.

I also hear that this little no-russian-gas joke (ft. US-Ukranians sabotaging the nord stream) was the last drop on killing Germany’s economy, where the far-right parties are currently on the rise. Sorry guys I haven’t studied history, is there any analogy that can be found with this in the past?

Lmfao

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) is an American government-funded international media organization that broadcasts and reports news, information, and analyses to Eastern Europe

During the Cold War, RFE was primarily aimed at broadcasting to Soviet satellite states, including the Baltic states, and RL targeted the Soviet Union itself. RFE was founded by the National Committee for a Free Europe as an anti-communist propaganda[8] source in 1949, while RL was founded two years later.

Guys you don’t understand this is how indipendent journalism is done

Do we have something like this for Asia as well? Like you never know they might run out of our garbage propaganda… Oh yes we do.

Edit: this stuff is worse than like CGTN or Sputnik, because at least those don’t try to hide behind “InDePeNdEnT jOuRnAliSm” when they are financed by the goverment that rivals the area they serve.

That’s like 8 billions in euros

RiscV! RiscV!

That’s a crossover episode i did not expect

The telegraph? Why am I not surprised?

A lot of android apps rely on GCM (google’s notification servers), I assume Whatsapp is one. Signal does too, but I think it can use its own websockets when gcm is not available, same for telegram. Whatsapp probably not.

Some ROMs with no google services restore the gcm funciinality via microg. Graphene os, as far as i know, does not have microg.

This is the definition of an artic-ad

Huh? The money is going into the monopolies manufacturing the weapons at a 500% price for the government to send them. If you send them away you have to spend to make more of them (101 war profiteering basics).

Not yet

Society if those devices had been the precursors of smartphones and not the closed box that were back then:

They don’t make them money, actually quite the opposite. They need them to be the tool throught which they can avoid actual changes that would reduce their money, and thus, in a political system in which you can buy cough I mean “lobby” cough politicians, their power.

Bro forgot to bring an emulator… Enjoy staring at binary code or something.

There is your “free market”, lmao. Will have to start to look on how to buy cars directly from china and import them later. Sorry but I have no interest in Stellantis’ garbage, and the fact that Italy will bend 90° and vote in favor, despite stellantis abandoned over the years basically every manufacturing plant in italy to move where labor is cheaper, sending workers home and shit, shows how this, is much more about corrupt goverments satisfying EU “lobbying” groups demands to have their little protected market with no competition where they can force you into buying their trash cubes for x4 the price a chinese EV would cost you. Good job.

Huh? But I am assuming you do, so what is the issue here in counting it as a separate country?

Taiwan…?
