  • Tbh I’m astounded that politics in the past managed to get that thought reflected in law and constitution. Not guilty until proven otherwise. In dubio pro reo!

    Nowadays, I would not expect that much rationality from most people.

    A few years ago I went for a walk and in front of me two left leaning people were talking to each other: “I’m looking forward to Saturday” the girl said to the guy. “There is a big Nazi demo in the next big city and I can’t wait to punch an Nazi”…

    So in what way are you better then the Nazi, I thought.

    It always starts with dehumanizing the others… then you can do whatever you want to them, without thinking about the suffering you created






  • There is a big difference. If a platform belongs to a single entity, you can pressure that entity especially if its profit driven. If there are thousands interconnected platforms that only share an open protocol the most you can do is shutdown a single instance. That’s why an open protocol creating decentralized instances is so much different than a centralized platform. It’s like trying to ban email or censor speak: not that has never been tried, but that is a whole different cup of tea.





  • “Allowed and supported” is something different then “its possible”. The article mentions some points that seemingly haven’t been “supported” in the past:

    • Stop requiring Google Play Billing for apps distributed on the Google Play Store (the jury found that Google had illegally tied its payment system to its app store)
    • Let Android developers tell users about other ways to pay from within the Play Store
    • Let Android developers link to ways to download their apps outside of the Play Store
    • Let Android developers set their own prices for apps irrespective of Play Billing

    Google also can’t:

    • Share app revenue “with any person or entity that distributes Android apps” or plans to launch an app store or app platform
    • Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first
    • Offer developers money or perks not to launch their apps on rival stores
    • Offer device makers or carriers money or perks to preinstall the Play Store
    • Offer device makers or carriers money or perks not to preinstall rival stores

    Thanks Mr. Epic Judge





  • might be your smartphone browser/system is using some kind of proxy. this could explain that you are able to ping, but the browser shows access denied. if no log entries are generated on the server when trying to access it via browser, it has to be something on client side or inbetween. on grapheneOS check: Settings - Network and Internet - Internet - Wifi-Settings - choose edit at top right - then advanced. If proxy is not set to none, change it and test again.

    If this still doesn’t help, my last bet is some kind of duplicate IP






  • Innovatin is good if it results in clean water, meds, housing, safe food and goods and services.

    It’s bad if it means: the most profit for useless shit that people only buy because advertisment made them believe they need it.

    Capitalism is a tool. Please let’s grow a pair and stop letting it decide how it will be used. It’s like pulling the trigger on an ak47 without holding it tight. Do we expect the weapon to know where to shot?

    Capitalism is a tool that wants to maximize its profits. Unfortunately it discovered that changing the politics and laws is an easy way to do that, even if it’s bad for the people.

    Capitalism is per definition not bound to ethics or moral. We need to set rules, even if big corporations made us to believe we shouldn’t.
