Most third party app stores suck on stock Android. Even GrapheneOS doesn’t recommend using them. Don’t get me wrong, I love F-Droid, Aurora Store, and Obtanium, but without integrating them as system apps or Shizuku, updating apps sucks ass. It is also much harder to detect if an app author were to become malicious with things like Obtanium, and even Aurora has the potential to have it’s anonymous accounts become compromised and create “fake” apps that appear legitimate from the developer console. The most promising option is always going to be something completely independent from Android, like PureOS.

It seems like Matrix would be the go to, but Element still lacks many of the conveniences & some of the functionality of Discord.

Cornell West said it best recently, the Democratic Party is beyond redemption.

Israel is going to want their instructions back.

Good thing she isn’t a lawyer.

I don’t have time to respond to everyone. If they want to see my response then they can read my response to you.

Lol, proves my point. Enjoy it while it last. Unless they actually take money out of politics you’ll be right where we are in the US sooner than you think.

I’ve got to say I’m not very impressed. I feel like this is Canada’s Joe Biden moment. I saw it coming but they refuse to acknowledge they need to do better.

So true. Democrats don’t have anyone to blame but themselves. Maybe they’ll learn or maybe they won’t.

To all those who stood with Genocide Joe & Kamala Cheney:

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!

Know that your support for genocide helped usher in Trump & has made a lasting difference in the world, and the JIDF thanks you for your service.

This is exactly what I said was happening. It seems probable that Trump is sending a lot of these people to El Salvador without due process to protect Bukele. Bukele is known for his failed project to create a tax haven known as Bitcoin City, and for declaring Bitcoin their national currency. Subsequently, Trump has received approx 3 billion in crypto investments with large anonymous donations being crucial for him winning in the 2024 election.

If they stand trial here in the US then they may decide to talk about Bukele partnering with the gangs in exchange for plea agreements. Even the innocent people that were sent there may have already seen enough that Trump is scared they’ll talk to the media about it if he brings them back.

Yeah you should ban their media, books, speech & lock them up. That’ll teach them about fascism alright.

On a more serious note, all this decision by Germany does is make groups like AfD stronger.

The suggestion of sabbatoge was against large corporations that employ tens of thousands of people if not more. You can make arguments that good people should never accept jobs at these large companies that end up working against our interests, but sabbatoging a company’s ability to function will almost certainly end impacting a lot of employees as well, which I’d guess many of them aren’t even that different than us & in some cases even less privileged. You do you. If you think that your resistance is pure & that if given the ring of power that you or your group will throw it into the lake of fire, then commit to that. I personally have seen too many instances where the resistance, especially if coming from Democrats, is just another form of fascism.

Yes, but even before you get to that point. Like I said they’ll fight dirty at first, so having assistance to even be able to get to that point requires community efforts.

Maybe you should study some law to understand how the courts work. He can’t even impeach federal judges. It takes 2/3 majority just like it does for President.

When the courts have shown multiple times that they no longer care about the constitution. Right now we have the Supreme Court ruling against the Trump admin’s illegal deportations. Unfortunately it takes time for the process to play out. I am optimistic that the courts will for now maintain the checks & balances. The courts are the strongest protection against Trump’s authoritarian attempts.

So you think banning other parties & the media you don’t like is the solution against fascism? The irony.

Maybe go actually read the blog post before you make it so obvious that you didn’t.

I didn’t say not to draw a line. I just said I was opposed to sabbatoge for the time being. There are lots of other things you can do right now to work towards restoring diplomacy.

I tend to agree, but not entirely.

The point I was making here is you start sabotaging & can end up harming people that may have been allies. As they say, the road to hell is often paved with good intentions.

Second, the more you start demanding people do what you want else you’ll sabotage, attack them, etc… Your ideas really aren’t that much different than those of fascists either.
