GrapheneOS is pretty good, as a more private alternative to Android, though the downside is that it's only available for Pixel phones. I bought a used one on ebay.

It sounds like a bullshit excuse, to me.

If they wanted to cover their ass, they could have changed their ToS any number of different ways than what they went with.

Let's not be naïve. All corporations are the enemy, including Mozilla.

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU WON!!!

google does this kinda shit on purpose to reinforce their market position

all those positive articles were puff pieces from western media, they're terrified of people moving away from capitalism, argentina was, until recently, socialist, so the USA and their allies did everything possible to cause them problems. so when a capitalist won the election they just started spamming how great he was and all that shit.

it's all bullshit. it's all lies. you can't believe a word the media prints.

i'm disabled and i volunteer with disabled people, and we talk about these kind of things quite often - people will talk about how a thoughtless comment on the internet started a spiral of despair. there's one guy in that group of 30ish who tries to tell people how their words affected him. everyone else, they keep it to themselves, for various reasons - sometimes they're scared that if they share how they were affected by a comment, the person who wrote it will intentionally try to hurt them more. some people are scared of being seen as a "karen", some just don't want to bother people.

we all understand that, most of the time, people aren't trying to upset us. they're just being a bit thoughtless. i totally understand that it seems like an arbitrary imposition, but it's really not that hard to just be a bit more considerate of others.

if you think a word you like to say is more important than being considerate of others, then you keep doing whatever you want. but stop lying to yourself, your actions can hurt people, and blaming people for being hurt by your actions is karen behavior.

not everyone you offend is like that. 90%+ of people you'll hurt with your words will say nothing to you about it, they"ll just feel like you're less trustworthy, less respectable, less professional and less considerate. if you want to take all of those disadvantage because... wait, why is it you don't want to be considerate of the feelings of others, again? you... don't want to learn new things? okay then.

you're adding way too much into this. who said that someone would guilt you? normally when you make someone sad they don't say anything about it, they just feel a bit worse and continue with their lives

i'm just explaining to you, there's no way to rationalize your way out of this. you are in complete control over what you say, unless you have verbal tics. and people will understand if you accidentally say something offensive from a tic. do you not understand this? it's just about responsibility.

take some responsibility for what you say. that's all.

so you think other people should take responsibility for something they can't control, but you should have no responsibility for something you can control?

you can't stop yourself from feeling sad, but you can stop yourself from doing something that makes someone else sad

having no concern for the feelings of others is just really irrational and selfish imo

feelings are important, though? if i can avoid hurting someone and all it costs me is saying blocklist instead of blacklist, that seems like an obvious slam dunk

i hate trump probably as much or more than you do. please re-read my comment as i actually wrote it, because i meant what i wrote. i did not mean what you imagined i might be secretly thinking or whatever. please don't jump to conclusions :(

don't get me wrong, i would have voted harris. (im not american) but she wouldn't have been good. she wouldn't have even been ok. but she was better than trump.
