Even a broken clock is right at least once a day.

Pipepipe is still working, as long as you are not logged in, and obviously aren’t trying to watch age verification gated content.

For how long though who knows.

“The economy” = rich people’s yachts.

The capitalists have a work around if the populace does not produce enough consumers. They simply lobby governments to import them from other countries.

That’s what I’ve noticed.

I initially used power delete suite which got maybe half of mine.

Then I went and started manually editing them with random words.

Then started deleting.

I’m very sure that some sub’s have restored deleted comments. Amusingly sometimes with the random words instead of the original.

The only reason I never deleted my account is so that I can go back and mess up or delete stuff as it comes back. Fairly easy to find your comments with a search of your username.

Surprised they haven’t just locked the ability to edit or delete older stuff. It’s not like it ever really gets deleted, just removed from public view.

I have a second cheap second hand phone for work only purposes.

My employer has their device attestation set to only allow intune / Microsoft products to sign in if you are running stock android. Graphene nogo.

MDMA legalised there?

I imagine it becoming a haven for profitable vices like drugs, gambling and prostitutes to make money off tourists.

Yes have noticed more rage bait. Also more and more culture wars in comments. Still not anywhere near as bad as reddit.

What if they fucked right off and left parenting what kids do on their devices to their parents?

Maybe I’m just getting old, but the idea of “verifying” my real identity to a faceless website or mobile app is abhorrent.

I guess it doesn’t help that governments in some countries (UK, Australia that I know of) are encouraging this bullshit with Trojan horse laws claiming to protect children from adult websites / social media.

Can’t help but think there is also an element of pot meet kettle here, when users of an app designed to dox and slander people without their knowledge are now the ones getting doxxed themselves.

Same. Our economy relies heavily on China buying our stuff.

Remember when our former prime minister Scott Morrison ran his mouth about China and corona? China retaliated by finding excuses to not import a lot of different products from us. A lot of our industries here suffered.

We have pretty much the same policies as the USA when it comes to digital rights, including border force being able to search your devices upon entry.

Having to manually share ICS was a bridge too far for me. Especially if event details get updated.

The two major parties here are always trying to out do each other when it comes to taking away digital rights.

Circa 2009 we had Labor trying to bring in a nationwide filter. That failed however since then we have had a ton of shit legislation with bi partisan support dropped on us.

My guess is that small targets like the fediverse will likely escape scrutiny because it would be a lot of trouble for a tiny handful of users.

If large numbers of kids started moving here once all the big platforms are blocked, and the pearl clutchers get wind of it, then the govt might move slowly towards trying to do something.

Ironically it was when the stock android upgrade on my pixel 7 completely bricked my phone (due to the multiple user profiles bug) that I decided to jump in to Graphene head first.

Compared to my experience running random ROMs on Samsungs back in the era of galaxy note 1 to 4, Graphene installer was so easy!

I fear they will go the other way, that is start locking down the pixels to make replacing their OS more difficult.
