Ride safely in these particular streets, follow every traffic law and take the lane. People might hate you, or realize a protected area will keep the traffic separated sO pEoPlE cAn gO fAsT.

I don’t like irritating people I disagree with as a tactic, but sometimes a little friction helps to make a point.

Of course, the doofi may decide to try banning bicycles outright instead 🤦

Sorry, “google blobs”? A lot of work went into MicroG, and I think it’s a shame that you’d minimize so much good work to reimplement the lynchpin of Google’s control on your devices.

At this point I’ll presume you’re just misinformed, as no proprietary google code operates within microG unless you decide to run with device attestation, and there it’s running as a sandboxed service. At any other time, you are able to run open source code which spoofs your device details to Google, and spoofs google to all these other closed source apps in a reliable and readable, much smaller codebase.

Honestly, the irony of running blobs, when one is completely closed source vs the other which is fully open. Hahaha.

All your points are true, yet still depend on Google in sandboxed form. That negates everything else for me, who wants a reasonably secure device that works out of the box and also respects my privacy.

If a nation-state wants into my phone, it’s delusional to believe even graphene can hold them off, you need real opsec for that, and unfortunately all I’ve seen thus far from graphene guys is cosplaying that the NSA wants your porn selfies.

Graphene and micro g? Cool. Sandboxed Google? Nope.

Agreed, it shouldn’t be their problem. But, I am using applications just fine that are sensitive to root, even device attestation, but I don’t recommend attestation just out of principle.

Even pokemon go seem to run ok with just micro g and aurora.

There’s also CalyxOS, low drama and very reliable. Https://www.calyxos.org

Calyx pixel gang over here

Where did I put that “maximum ooof” meme? Damn.

Having a long term condition since youth, it’s amazing how many people my points about the US healthcare system seemed to simply… Bounce off.

Only now are they getting it 😑

Ooof that’s horrifying

Say it again, friend.

Yes.

That area was so wild, especially around Folsom street fair times.

There was a drunk dude getting a blowjob on the windowsill of his second story apt above a bar across the street, one leg in the fucking house the other just on the bar’s sign 🤣

I’ll mention that a pixel with CalyxOS works great as well, no google code code other than AOSP which helps battery life a lot.

Some things like voice controlled companion or android auto are being implemented, but I never really gave a fuck about that stuff, being on bicycle or motorcycle only.

I don’t care how nice the sports car is, if it’s not going where I want it to, I’m not getting in.

I upvoted the first comment, then realized it was ambiguous and undid it.

I’ll go on record to say this advertising of eating living creatures we’ve purposely killed “so they don’t go to waste” is disgusting on multiple levels.

Same, as a kinky person.

“no true Scotsman”, sounds so bland.

Read it again: some

Jokes on him, gothboy is also broke. Seriously, some of my goth stuff is expensive 🙄

I don’t think sms will go away, that ping is fundamental to GSM & LTE so far as I can tell.

You may need an app that explicitly taps into the sms feature though

Jeezus crust
