Regardless of implementation, that can never work. There's always going to be platforms in counties without age verification and children will just use those instead.

The solution is parents actually fucking parenting their children because the government literally can't solve the problem without going full China-mode.

It also makes Lemmy objectively less safe because it's much less effective at limiting stalking and harassment. Especially since way blocks work on Lemmy isn't clearly communicated to the user.

I'm contemplating making the same move. Google killing sideloading also kills the last reason for me to stick with Android, so I may as well go with the phone by the company that hasn't based literally its entire business model around harvesting user data for targeted advertising.

You literally put a Soviet flag in your meme. You could've made your point without that, so yeah, don't complain when people point out the obvious implication.

With the amount of alternatives it's also very likely that you'll find one that you genuinely prefer over Coca-Cola or Pepsi once you give them a try. I did not start buying Fritz Kola over Coca-Cola because of any "feature", and not because it's German either. I just tried it on a whim ages ago and preferred the taste, so that's what I've been buying since.

Abreißen dauert nicht nur, es ist unter Umständen auch gefährlich. Die Arschlöcher packen manchmal Rasierklingen dahinter.

Aber komplett zu erwarten, wenn du nach der Uni oder Berufschule noch im Lotto gewinnen musst um mit deinem Abschluss dann auch arbeiten zu dürfen.

Why would anyone stress over the state of someone else's phone battery in a screenshot? It's usually barely worth being concerned about on your own phone unless you're expecting an important call, worst case you're disconnected for an hour or two. Hardly the end of the world.

That's far from the only issue. Of course all of the things I'd name (systemic racism, horrible prison conditions, gaps in our "universal" healthcare, dismantling of the social state) are also things the current US administration would be in favour of.

Depends. When it comes to privacy they're a step up from virtually all vanilla Android distributions. And if you care about things like NFC payments and banking apps working reliably (= not potentially breaking with an update to the app or OS) in general that's your only option with Android. I'm not switching to a Pixel with Graphene, it just doesn't do what I need my phone to do. I might switch to an iPhone if the EU actually manages to force them to cut the walled garden crap.

Welt ist Springer. Ich weiß nicht, warum du was anderes als maximale Menschenverachtung erwarten würdest.
