Don't forget that Obama was also a war criminal, just like the other US presidents in recent history.

Can you at least start letting in trans US refugees before they all get genocided? Because it's already started.

Where is kryptkey? I don't see it on F-droid.

I do see KryptEy, which sounds like what you're talking about. What's important to mention is that it's a proof-of-concept app that hasn't been updated in two years. It may still function fine and be secure, but I wouldn't necessarily assume that, especially when we are talking about high stakes like avoiding government intrusion into chats. Has anyone ever checked or audited it?

I disagree. While I will never forgive those voters, I don't think most of them are lost causes. They've been manipulated by the largest, most well-funded misinformation and propaganda campaign ever waged against the American people.

Exercising even the smallest amount of critical thinking skills protects oneself against most of it, but no one is completely immune to misinformation.

Yeah, and now that Musk is unpopular with conservatives, Trump will still use Musk to buy elections but we just won't hear about it (if they're smart).

Oh Brock Allen Turner, the rapist who now goes by Allen Turner?

So they essentially stuffed a download code into a physical cartridge to make people feel like they are getting something?

Isn't that needless and wasteful? Isn't it also going to trick unsuspecting people into buying something they think is a physical version of a game but isn't?

Maybe he doesn't know because he refuses to listen to anyone who criticizes him, banning them on Twitter and calling them paid actors in public events.

The word, as an insult, may be used predominantly to refer to either gender in some parts of the world, but in other parts it's usually gender-specific. Both points of view -- that it's misogynistic and that it's not -- could be argued to be valid because we live in different cultures. That said, we're a global audience here and so using this word across cultures becomes problematic.

Here in the USA, it's still a mostly gendered word based in misogyny. People in the US claiming otherwise probably just don't want to stop using the word as an insult and either don't believe or care that it perpetuates misogyny in the US when used against women.

The claim in this thread that it's matter-of-fact not misogynistic is untrue globally.

So this may still be possible

This article seems to be saying that's it's not only possible, it's being actively (and I would assume widely) exploited on current versions of Android. Google is supposed to catch any abuses of listed exceptions, but they are either missing a bunch or letting them intentionally slide through. Either way, apps being able to see other apps is a big security risk that IMO only the user should be able to explicitly allow, and on a case-by-case basis.

Yeah, meaning all newer phones past Android 11 shouldn't have this issue, but they do because of a workaround by shady companies that Google is either not aware of or not addressing. This issue isn't limited to older phones -- quite the opposite.
