I mean, they provide the operating system and push updates to your phone via a trusted channel, so yeah you’re kinda extending them 100% trust already. I’m more thinking about malware authors here though; criminals or governments (or criminal governments) slipping shady shit onto your phone without your noticing.

Less. If someone has root privs on your phone they can screenshot without your notice and send those shots wherever they want, encryption or self-deleting messaging apps be damned.

Doesn’t matter if the phone is rooted.

These fucking fools, these incompetent baboons. Gods damn the whole lot of 'em.

Aww, you left JD Vance off the certificate. He’ll be sobbing into his Chesterfield.

The enshittification intensifies.

Nor the desire, I would think.

Wise, but long overdue.

That’s why I finally pulled the plug on my 14 year old account. That Orwellian bullshit is a deal breaker.

Which they might well do.

Half of them are broke as fuck and the other half are heavily invested in oil company stocks. Elon made a poor choice of allegiance.

DuckDuckGo offers a nice relay service; you get a duck.com email address that mails through to your regular email, but it strips out all the trackers and other bullshit. It’s good for situations like that.

Welp, my days of not buying Dodge cars seem to be coming to a middle.

Fuck if I know. I never said it was a good idea!

Deleted my 14 year old account today; wasn’t banned (yet) but fuck if I’m sticking around for this 1984 bullshit.

I thought they were supposedly going to be making money selling training data for AI’s.

The first one fell over and sank into the swamp crater.

Before I finally checked out, I got a month-long ban from r/electricvehicles for “That’ll do pig, that’ll do”. Apparently automod isn’t a fan of the movie Babe.

Funny how quickly peoples’ minds change when there’s the credible threat of reprisal.
