Didn't this use to be an opt-in setting?
No. It's the life blood of Google's tracking ethos so it was always opt out on google's phones. It's so important to google that they'll reset these permissions to "enabled" for all apps on system updates, so you won't notice it until way later.
I read the article and it is just wow. Typical "boomer sympathy generator 5000" crap.
Why the fuck did Australia lease a port?
Corruption.
Politicians favorite passtime.
If they can bribe politicians in Australia, imagine smaller countries that are under China's influence.
Anyone think this will stop?
When you look back into history of the countries that boast "western values" and "human rights", and see they're just war machines that benefitted of the wars in the past to reach to a point of "moral superiority" after ravaging and looting others to be self sufficient, you begin to understand no one capable of stopping it cares.
Why does something have to be an "ultimate" reaction to be useful? Reducing the hegemony of US companies in global finance has to have some effect in bring egotistical yankistanis down a notch. Even just the news may create waves of support and push while also making US stock dip.
This might just be a news bite and may not amount to much but the discussions gotta start somewhere.
At the very least there's less "you should be supporting my sides' genocide and it's your fault my country is 'openly' evil now. we were hiding it and profiting off of it so well" on lemmy.
"Genocide as a Service"
"Shut up or you would be next" mistake
yeah, they want to make people afraid of getting on their wrong side and they made an example of being able to send people without any due process. so anyone could be next.
Sounds like a paid PR release than anything.
Using Apple, you ever thought you had any say in the matter?
Next, you'll say you want to use real Firefox on iOS with a competent adblock.
Too bad though… your choices have already been made for you. Yay!
Apparently, there's a lot of people going around, anytime this comes up saying this is nothing new. There's nothing new to the end users, who never cared. But this is going to make it hard for tinkerers to figure out shady shit Google is trying to pull.
GrapheneOS came out saying that they'll not be affected because they're planning to get OEM partners with access to internal branch. They've also mentioned they stopped reporting vulnerabilities to Google. Google doesn't want being bothered with fixing vulnerabilities. So there's that too
might be a concentrated PR attempt to downplay the change. idk
They were however not angry at the opportunity of killing innocent civilians, only that their whereabouts got leaked.
Fuck'em
"We were best buddies when they were destroying countries elsewhere. Now… that they threaten us, we don't feel the same"
US will forget about this as they did it back then and still unironically call themselves the "free-est country in the whole world."
Hollywood and bigtech assisting it along the way.
US has always been "by the rich, for the rich" exploiting the rest.
This is why we need an alternative opensource mobile operating systems and fast. Big Tech is essentially a psyop by the US for surveillance.
Your phone number, emails, logins, each have unique identifiers and even if you use a "private" app like signal, they have your number to link it to multiple other unique attributes embedded by Google, Apple, and Microsoft to create a tracking profile on you.
And no matter how opensource or privacy oriented, the companies they tell you they are, there will be some closed source implementation for plausible deniability. like the signal server, apple "privacy" or some shit they have you believe.
It's like hollywood whitewashing USAs atrocities and the whole world applauding it, but now Big Tech is onboard too. And the world still hasn't learned a thing.
I don't know why the other commenter tried to link to it on the main repo.
Probably sharing from the fdroid app itself. It tends to link to its own repo with package name, even if they are from a different repo.
Who knew all the talk about EU being consumer friendly was just a call for more lobbying money being spent in the EU?
So consumer and eco friendly that you'll need to use a different device, vastly inferior to wires, just to charge your phone.
Well played EU. Well Played!
Well, it is of no use to bozo, if it doesn't occasionally act "independent".
Make America Asian Again!!
MAAA!!!!
