  • You'll have to give folks a little more detail if you want help solving this. It's okay if you just want to vent about the frustration, but if you are looking for a solution, please share exactly what you are attempting, what you have tried, what step failed, in what way it failed, whether you received an error message, what it said, etc. Hope this helps!

  • Yep. GrapheneOS provides the Google apps that you wouldn't be able to easily get otherwise, but allows you to install them or not. And they come with additional privacy protections.

  • I suppose if somebody could organize a team of volunteers to pay for the Play Store fees, and take care of the logistics for small devs to get their apps approved, then it might be possible.

  • Honestly, this still worries me. There is no telling how many apps I rely on will evaporate over the next year. Several devs have already announced sunsetting their projects.

    There are a number of projects that rely on on user installs, either because they are small passion projects (it costs money to be on the Play Store), or because they provide a function that is not permitted by Google Play. Without a vibrant community outside of the play store supporting them, it's hard to see how they will all survive.

  • Well, if there's one place you don't want a mosquito bite...

  • Well, yes. Before all Jews and other minorities were expelled.

  • Persia has historically always been a leader in academics, cultural exchange, arts, literature, engagement, civil rights, and philosophy, dating back to at least Zoroaster. It is only in recent decades that the regime has instead favored ignorance and isolation. The present state of Iran is the historical outlier, not vice-versa.

  • This is what Iran looked like in the 1970s, before the Islamic Regime:

  • I'm actually fine with this type of vigilantism

  • When I was a kid, I assumed that was how it worked. When I found out it wasn't, my reaction was something like, "then what even is a democracy?"

  • So the US tax code is switching to a "Pay what you want" model?

    Rich people: "Switching?"

  • Acrtion Comics #1 ...Lets see:

    • Superman persuades the Governor to stay the execution of an innocent death-row inmate (p. 3-4)
    • Beats up an abusive husband (p. 6-7)
    • Dumps some rich sex-pests out of their car (p. 9-10)
    • Intervenes in a corrupt lobbyist bribing a DC Senator (p. 11-end)

    "When did Superman become so WOOOooooOOOke????"

  • "So obviously, our condolances. But also..."

    This is the worst timeline.
