Piracy is good, actually.

Come back when games become 1) strictly drm-free no launchers no nothing 2) more affordable worldwide 3) not subject to artificial obsolescence, then we can talk.

It uninstalled AnkiConnect for me. No warning first to tell me the app was malicious (it isn’t), no prompt of whether or not it’s OK to remove it. Just yeeted.

I had to disable Play Protect from Google Play’s settings, and that wasn’t enough as notifications would now pop up saying the app is malicious after I brought it back, so then I shut off those notifications.

When the warranty on my phone runs out or it’s under threat of not being able to unlock the bootloader, I’ll unlock the bootloader and put on a custom ROM without Gapps. Fuck this bullshit. And Google wants to make installing apps harder to feed its ego. Fuck billionaires.

Me when I don’t buy any games sold through any launcher DRMs, I only have DRM-free thingies. Bliss.

I live in a dictatorship that toppled dictators before, and this is the current permeating thought. Not “we’ll get rid of him” but rather “let’s wait it out.” And so you wait out a decade, two, three… Maybe it is over and the plans were arranged so his successor would take over instead.

Your thought is one of a people under a brutal dictatorship. So much for the championed first and second amendments, eh?
