  • None of that has been mentioned by op, beyond “here is the actual definition of genocide.” op pointed to the amnesty international definition, and was refused by his opponent. so defaulting to the dictionary… Isreal is exterminating an ethnic group intentionally… Its fkn genocide.

    What are you on about? Either we go by the legal definition of genocide, which isreal clearly meets, or we go by the dictionary definition of genocide that isreal clearly meets… What point do you think you are making?

    Are you saying it can’t be genocide cause that must be proven in a court of law? That is asinine.




  • Either you’re a shill, a turfer, or a moron, or maybe you have legit said something stupid and dont understand why.

    I dont know where you are from, or what culture you are but, what would you propose to do to indicate that something is unacceptable, after having stated that many many times, and the people who have traditionally murdered your people for being "savages"opt to ignore you many times, and are the people that hold power? Just say “this is unacceptable” and take the loss, while just allowing your constituents to get fucked?


  • Wasn’t talking to you directly, but appending additional info to what you were saying. You kinda did suggest that taking gabapentin would help with their pain, so while Yes, its a terrible idea to take prescription stuff without knowing what you are doing, if they are gonna read what you told them and decide to ignore the part where you suggest you are uncomfortable providing medical advice and then go ahead and do it anyway, they should at least be warned that your advice is particularly dangerous due to gabapentins mental side effects.









  • There are significant portions of android that are effectively under google monopoly, in truth, if not technically in fact.

    First android is a phone OS, don’t assume desktop rules really apply the same way. There’s not tons of use for a workspace here, or at least not in my personal experience. Its my phone, my phone IS my workspace.

    Second, android makes the assumption that you want basic functionality like email, and internet use, and messaging, location info for mapping, etc, so all of that got coded directly in to the OS. yeah you can use Firefox but can you uni stall chrome? Can you unintstall gmail? Often the answer is no, as you aren’t the admin of your phone, the carrier is and they have deals with google.

    There are attempts to work around this, AOSP is one of them, but the fact that its a thing in the first place illustrates what I’m trying to say.

    Third, among those things google has an effective monopoly on is their app store. Its incredibly difficult to, as a normal person who is not especially technically inclined, to make heads or tails of fdroid, or worse to have to find your own app store.

    Thus, /e/os is stuck. Package microg, or dont provide access to the google app store for their consumer focused devices, or use google play services.

    Packaging microg was easily the best option from the perspective of a business that wants to sell a functional device.

    As to the specifics of AOSP folk, they’re basically the arch nerds of android. I love them but I dont understand much. I do know that it does not seem as though AOSP as a ROM is widely used, and that many of the projects around deGoogled android are basically single person communities, in that one person does all the work and burns out (Linege) or are… toolbags is the term I’m going to diplomatically use. Specifically graphene where the admin wound up being a toolbag, bad enough for Louis Rossman to do a video on.


  • Right, I think this is where we are misommunicating.

    I use my fairphone as my daily. I also have to use OKTA, and stuff. And I dont use microg for them cause they don’t talk to google. I suppose technically the apps dont use microg, just like they dont use google.

    The problem you are going to run into though is that google has baked itself into android that you need something to trick android into thinking its operable.

    In stock android, you COULD have a workspace that only uses microg, but considering you otherwise MUST have play services… Why?

    Alternatively, you can use microg to handle all your google bullshit to sign yourself in locally and actually use the services that require google without actually signing in to google.

    Frankly, it sounds more like you want an Ubuntu/Linux (not android Linux) phone or something, but I’m not able to advise on that.


  • Possibly, maybe probably. If you dont want to degoogle, why use /e/os? Thats basically the explicit purpose. /e/is fills the same need as any degoogled ROM but is prepackaged on fairphone devices, no need to buy a pixel in order to use graphene. If you just want android, and the ability to use microg when you want and not when you dont, just use a normal android device.
