SafetyNet is the name of Google's tamper protection thingy. Basically, if it's not a trusted chain, safety net won't pass.

This doesn't impact phone functionality, but some apps check for this and refuse to work if it's not passing. Google Pay is one of the more well-known examples. Some other banking apps will also check for it. Oddly enough, Pokemon Go also used to (not sure if it still does).

Doesn't that invalidate safety net?

No, but in this case it's not just population. If some potato farmer in northern Asia sees a UFO (especially before the proliferation of smartphones), how would it be reported and appear on this map? Lots of other reports come from pilots and such and again, far different distribution between continents.

If you install a custom build, doesn't that break OS verification (or whatever the name of it was)? Meaning things like Google wallet, but more importantly some banking apps, will fail to work?

I'm confused. How is this any different getting simply hosting a picture yourself and tracking all the IP addresses via http fetch logs? Why is Lemmy itself being singled out here? Why do you need some CGI script?

I wonder if this week use Bluetooth or a dongle?

I see one potential good thing though: maybe people would be less interested in killing the only planet that supports human life if they knew they were going to be on it forever.

I would think suddenly being able to go back to your 20s is the NG+.

Are you sure this would be considered an EULA and not a TOS?

No! Stop! Cease and desist! You're ruining the lemon economy and now my lemons aren't worth anything. :(

Are they really in material beach since the agreement you agreed to by giving them money basically says "coins have no value and we can delete them at any time we want"?

I mean, I hate Reddit as much as the next guy here but that sounds a bit like doing a charge back because you didn't win on the slot machine you just pulled.

because I refuse to consume any of it

I guarantee you already have and didn't notice.

There's a philosophical argument to be made for sure, and I'd probably even agree with you. But the reality is that the technology is here, and it'll be used in pursuit of the almighty buck.
