Bro if PC emulation is that good on Android now then this might be my sign to give up on iPhones.

A Brazilian police officer caught a guy in a bar who was beating up his own mother and they gave him what he deserved by knocking him out.

THIS GUY VIBE CODED A WEBSITE WHERE ANYONE ON THE INTERNET CAN FEED HIS CAT you go to the site, press a button, and his cat's automatic feeder dispenses food in real time there's a live camera so you can watch the cat walk up and eat what you just gave it and it's not just his cat. other cat owners can connect their feeders too so you can feed random cats around the world from your browser he's also adding computer vision to detect when a cat is actually near the feeder so only videos with cats in them get shown at the top a weight scale and cat recognition is also being added for a "greed leaderboard" tracking which cat eats the most completely useless, zero business model, and no monetization strategy and yet this is the kind of weird internet project that goes viral overnight because everyone immediately gets it and wants to try it (including me)

Four days in the wilderness without screens improved creative problem-solving by 50%. The modern brain is not underloaded. It is interrupted.

Here I am, reading Homer’s Odyssey directly from the Greek text and thinking about how much Christopher Nolan disrespected us. Don’t pay for the movie. Resist this slowly dying agenda that is rotting our societies. Hollywood is dead.

@WeArePlayground Mfs who turned off their internet right after they installed it:

How about actually giving the user freedom to install their own software without any give access to the internet (which is you) without getting blocked by your evil reCaptcha hurdles or annoying blocks like Play Integrity API because the user chose to use an OS which isn't one of the duopoloies? I guess spitting on people who want freedom from you is the least evil thing you can do for you stock price because you cooking up plans that are more sinister than this.

Today, we’re starting to roll out end-to-end encryption for RCS messaging between Android and iPhone users!

Refusing Google Play Services is now suspicious. Google deciding who gets internet access.

Apple and Google are gradually expanding their use of hardware-based attestation. They're convincing a growing number of services to adopt it. Google's Play Integrity API and Apple's App Attest API are very similar. Apple brought it to the web via Privacy Pass, which Google intends on doing too. Google's Play Integrity API requires hardware attestation for the strong integrity level and is gradually phasing in requiring it for the more commonly used device integrity level. Apple already has it as a requirement. Over the long term, this will increasingly lock out hardware and OS competition. The purpose of these systems is disallowing people from using hardware and software not approved by Apple or Google. This is wrongly presented as being a security feature. Banks and government services are the main ones adopting it but Apple and Google are encouraging every service to use it. Apple's Privacy Pass brought hardware attestation to the web to help with passing captchas on their own hardware. Many people saw that as harmless since few sites would be willing to lock out non-Apple-hardware users. Apple and Google are both likely to bring broader hardware attestation to the web. Google's reCAPTCHA is planning an approach where they use Privacy Pass on Apple hardware, their own approach on Google Mobile Services Android devices and a QR code scanning system to require an iOS or Google certified Android device for Windows and other systems: support.google.com/recaptcha/answ… Banking and government services increasingly require using a mobile app where they can use attestation to force using an Apple or Google approved device and OS. Apple's privacy pass, Google's 'cancelled' Web Environment Integrity and now reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification are bringing this to the web. Current media coverage for reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification misunderstands it and the impact of it. They're bringing a hardware attestation requirement to Windows, desktop Linux, OpenBSD, etc. by requiring a QR scan from a certified smartphone to pass reCAPTCHA in some cases. They could expand it more. Control over reCAPTCHA puts Google in a position where they can require having either iOS or a certified Android device to use an enormous amount of the web. Google defines certification requirements for Android which includes forcing bundling Google Chrome, etc. It's enormously anti-competitive. Google's Play Integrity API bans using GrapheneOS despite it being far more secure than anything they permit. It also bans using any other alternative. This isn't somehow specific to an AOSP-based OS. You can't avoid this by using a mobile OS based on FreeBSD instead. You'll just be more locked out. Google's Play Integrity API permits devices with no security patches for 10 years. The device integrity level can be bypassed via spoofing but they can detect it quite well and block it once it starts being done at scale. The strong integrity level requires leaked keys from TEEs/SEs to bypass it. It doesn't provide a useful security feature, but it does lock out competition very well. Services requiring Apple App Attest or Google Play Integrity are primarily helping to lock in Apple and Google having a duopoly for mobile devices. Play Integrity is more relevant due to AOSP being open source. Governments are increasingly mandating using Apple's App Attest and Google's Play Integrity for not only their own services but also commercial services. The EU is leading the charge of making these requirements for digital payments, ID, age verification, etc. Many EU government apps require them. Instead of governments stopping Apple and Google from engaging in egregiously anti-competitive behavior, they're directly participating in locking out competition via their own services. Requiring people to have an Apple device or Google-certified Android device is anti-competition, not security. reCAPTCHA Mobile Verification will currently work with sandboxed Google Play on GrapheneOS but it clearly exists to provide a way for them to start using hardware attestation on systems without it. People without an iOS or Android device will be locked out when this is required even without that. This isn't about security or any missing functionality. GrapheneOS can be verified via hardware attestation. Google bans using GrapheneOS for Play Integrity because we don't license Google Mobile Services and conform to anti-competitive rules already found to be illegal in South Korea and elsewhere. Services shouldn't ban people from using arbitrary hardware and operating systems in the first place. Google's security excuse is clearly bogus when they permit devices with no patches for 10 years but not a much more secure OS. It's for enforcing their monopolies via GMS licensing, that's all.

‼️🚨 ALARMING: Google now treats privacy as suspicious behavior by default. Users of GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, /e/OS, and other deGoogled Android phones are being locked out of millions of websites unless they install the exact Google Play Services software they deliberately removed. GrapheneOS is recommended by the EFF and used by journalists, lawyers, and activists in high-risk environments. The audience most likely to read Google's data practices and refuse its terms is now flagged as fraudulent for that exact decision. What happened?: ▪️ Google announced "Cloud Fraud Defense" at Cloud Next on April 22-23, 2026, branding it "the next evolution of reCAPTCHA." Existing reCAPTCHA customers were auto-migrated. ▪️ When the system flags traffic as suspicious, the old click-the-bus puzzle is gone. Users get a QR code instead. ▪️ Scanning the QR code requires Google Play Services running on the device. Internet Archive snapshots show this requirement has been live since at least October 2025, silently rolled out for 7 months before anyone noticed. ▪️ No Play Services = no QR scan = locked out. The bigger picture: ▪️ Google already tried this in 2023. It was called Web Environment Integrity (WEI), and it would have let Google decide which devices were "real enough" to access the web. Standards bodies and the public pushed back hard, and Google killed it. Three years later, the same idea is back, just hidden behind a QR code instead of a browser feature. ▪️ reCAPTCHA runs on millions of websites. Every developer who keeps using it is now, by default, telling deGoogled Android users they're not welcome...

@CensorshipsGay @reddit_lies I hate the "fits the team culture" part, what if they're all retards? They're just asking for conformity and I don't want to find out until it's too late. Guess I'll never find out since I've never been employed.

@CensorshipsGay @Badopinions4 I was prescribed a dopamine drug, it didn't solve my problems for the duration, now I'm off that and therapy as well. I realised I'm the only one who can do things and nothing will fix my problem without me taking action.

Anti depressants are poison. Depression and anxiety are natural and good human emotions. If you have them there is a reason, find it and address it. There isn't some magic pill to make you happy.

Ok here's my wishlist: - The ability to install unsigned apps painlessly - The ability to access Android/data Android/obb with a basic file manager(no root required) - The ability to disable all Google services and apps on my phone with the press of a button - Google services becomes open source and is replaced with "Android Services" - Root access with a basic check in the developer settings - Blob emojis

이좆병신년들은 흑인캐 아시안이나 백인캐로 바꾸면 에프킬라 맞은 바퀴벌레마냥 발작하면서 왜 매번 아시안캐를 흑인으로 바꾸는짓은 아무렇지 않게하지?

They're testing our boundaries, they have been doing it for years, residing use freedom and slowly pushing the walls around us with each cm. Never have I ever seen a more accurate representation of "boiling the frog slowly" than this situation. Only the Government can do something about this.

@enteio No matter how hard we try, the idiot normies will refuse to take action to stop this. So, the only viable alternative is custom ROMs... for now.

@ImMeme0 I wonder who it is

BREAKING: Philadelphia teen who exposed his classmates’ inability to read or comprehend simple sentences says he is now being threatened with expulsion, not graduating, and being barred from prom.
