krolden··on Googling abortion? Your details aren’t as private as you think
Lol the fact you think its just one political party doing this is laughable.

Yeah let's go to a riot with our google location service devices!

Regardless of what they were doing, these people obviously weren't the brightest to be there in the first place. Not surprised they would think airplane mode could protect them.

How does that make one a junkie? Junkie implies they go around collecting junk to sell for drugs. Not all drug users are poor.

krolden··on The FBI alleges TikTok poses national security concerns
People here worried about tiktok seem to be in denial about how the USA has treated the internet (not to mention our constitutional rights, specifically the fourth amendment) for the last 20+ years.

There are no privacy laws of consequence when the people running the show report to no one and have zero oversight, yet they want us to worry about tiktok and China instead of pay attention to the gross violation of our rights by our own government.

You mean like the native Americans? Pretty sure that's still the largest scale, most drawn out genocide in the entire history of our species.

Lineage doesn't guarantee security updates for your device, even if there are official builds.

Not to mention lineage means no verified boot

krolden··on Does cashless society discriminate against the poor and elderly? (2019)
Ive been doing some IT work at a cell phone store in a very low income area. There is a large number of people coming in to buy new phones or get their old ones repaired and many of them (especially the older ones) HATE that they need to have a smartphone. I hear at least one person a day complain about how they cant just have a normal land line anymore and need to have a smartphone to participate in society.

Also they REALLY dont like hearing about how the phone they have now is obsolete and theres no way to get parts for it, or its just too far gone and they'll need to buy a new phone. I feel for all of these people as I totally agree with them.

krolden··on Everyone going to World Cup must have this app, experts are sounding the alarm
I just used (against my will) the Axs app to go to a local show. It required location services to be enabled and didn't show the random qr code until it could verify I was at the venue.

I haven't seen a paper ticket in a long time.

These apps generate a new code based on the time, etc. Its basically a TOTP password for an event.
