I have constant encryption errors that I can never figure out how to fix it. And I always have issues signing in on a new device. I don’t even know why.

Matrix is just far too convoluted. Signal seems to be the easiest one to use. SimpleX is the best.

No it means you won’t be allowed to install the app on any certified devices at all. Regardless of where it’s obtained.

Is Android Studio forcing you to register?

Does anyone here actually support Google’s Developer Verification?

At best some are indifferent but I’ve never heard of anyone who actively supports this.

Is Play Store still worth the hassle i?

Never has been 🔫

They have the same fears of our tech too

Which makes sense, because the exact same concept applies: local vs. foreign

One being forgien, and one being local doesnt change that.

It absolutely does, from the perspective of the government, who makes the laws.

Ahh so im talking to a Vulcan and I’m not allowed to go on my creative writting tangent.

You can go on all the tangents you want, but don’t expect no one to correct your factual inaccuracies unless you specifically label it as fiction. Are your statements fictional entertainment?

dont care in classifying which one is “worse”

You literally just did that in your previous reply…

In my mind that’s much worse than a invisible threat that isn’t even allowed to operate here yet

It’s not at all invisible. China is notorious for digital attacks on all kinds of US infrastructure. Along with Russia and North Korea. Basically most powerful authoritarian nations.

They aren’t allowed to operate here due to the potential threats that I mentioned.

the way you keep pushing this issue implies that because the forgien one is bad, we should justify the local one being bad.

It implies no such thing. Any such interpretation can be attributed to your imagination. What it means is simply that one is worse than the other.

If anything I support the forgien one more because you know I expect them to be bad guys.

That makes absolutely no sense.

It’s not hypocritical. One is local and the other is foreign.

Maybe claiming that the imported cars have Chinese spyware in them (but the spyware in our cars is cool)

I mean exporting that data to a nefarious authoritarian foreign nation seems much worse than keeping it local. Not that any of it is “good”.

I recently learned that Hetzner sells managed Nextcloud hosting. Its the only one I’ve found in the US.

Ah, I must have missed that. Thanks for that extra bit of context.

Seems highly unlikely that the guy can make a road-legal truck in his garage for sale, but best of luck to him.

Can we get an open source American compact coupé?

I already do.

Hell millions of people trust Google with this information so clearly very few people even care.

Is there a driver installer app?

No, it’s a spiritual reincarnation

Ah, well, it is less shit than alternatives

Windows: too much ads, AI, telemetry, and just nonsense bullshit in general. MS is a malicious company and this is malicious software.

MacOS: too much Apple bloatware. It mostly stays out of the way but the fact that I can’t uninstall it makes me very angry. Also the vast majority of software requires a connected Apple account. The bigger problem is the overpriced and intentionally irreparable, unupgradable and disposable hardware which is inseperable from the software.

Linux: mostly just stays out of my way, requires no account for anything. You know, the way operating systems used to work.

All these words and no mention of why it failed?

You’re not wrong. Just not sure why you replied to me when saying it.
