Well, I've given up. Again.

I think the Android ecosystem is entirely hopeless. Android may technically be 'open source', but in name only. Not in practice.

Google and the hardware manufacturers have an iron grip that they'll never relinquish. We'll never be in full control of our devices.

We need a reset. Burn it all to the ground.

Donald Trump’s rejection of this basic truth — reflected in his dealings with Russia — augurs an age of volatility from which China will emerge a clear winner. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/02/16/japan/what-trump-wants-from-russia/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #us #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar #uae #donaldtrump #vladimirputin #china #eu #india #mercosur

After reports of a FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile attack on the Kapustin Yar range in late January, satellite images taken after January 27 showed a large dark spot near the fence of site 105 and later a crater about 6 meters wide. This could suggest one missile may have reached the area and been shot down nearby or missed. No confirmed hits on infrastructure were recorded. #Ukraine

@TCatInReality @Remittancegirl It is characteristic of all racists, that they don't even know the culture they are pretending to defend. Germany as an example was for the last 1000 years part of a very diverse empire (inluding German, Polish, Italian, Dutch, Jewish, Hungarian people etc.) with countless quite autonomous regions & ethnicities. The goal of the nationalists/ nazis always was to eradicate diversity & cultural heritage. Racists are basically people without culture, but hate.

It’s probably time for other countries to make plans so they can shoot down such satellites if they’re launched without some sort of global consensus if we don’t want USian technofascist startups to screw things up even more than they already have for the rest of us.

History to know this #PresidentsDay:

Ona Judge escaped enslavement from George and Martha Washington in 1796, fleeing the President’s House in Philadelphia for freedom.

Now the National Park Service has removed an exhibit telling her story.

Antony Loewenstein: "The globe elite in the shadow of Jeffrey Epstein"

"It's now undeniable that Epstein was incredibly close to Israeli intelligence, a fact that remains largely ignored in the Western media", whose coverage is more "damage control than accountability."

In writing this, I focused on a chapter of his that concerned something I knew a bit about. I was flabbergasted. I then discovered that other people had produced similar takedowns of chapters about their own specialisms. I came to the conclusion that he's a charlatan. www.monbiot.com/2018/03/09/c...

Oh well. Nothing lasts forever. Even geologically.

Dat is ook waarom iedereen die Windows 10 of 11 gebruikt, de gratis tool 'Shut Up 10' zou moeten downloaden.

Je runt het programma 1 keer en het zet alle problematische instellingen uit, zoals telemetrie, locatie en dergelijke. Shut Up 10 heeft ook een aparte pagina waarop je de AI functies van Windows volledig kan uitzetten en verwijderen.
