If you see a red triangle imposed over someone's face, that means they have a female skull for sure.

What's actually funny about this is that those guys are stated to be "neo-republicans" elsewhere in the series, who are one of the more moderate/liberal Rebel factions.

Someone does need to advocate for them, I don't think their parents are qualified either. "Autism parents" seem so arrogant and self-centered

the reality and pain of a subset of parents of children with autism who feel left out of much of the conversation around the condition.

If anything they are always dominating the conversation despite being in the minority of autism cases. I understand it's hard for them, but it's not all about you and you're talking over autistic adults who should be heard more.

i just took a piss, in some gucci flip flops

They didn't save any money, they just redirected it into war.

They cut $150 billion from things such as scientific research and weather reports (to be fair they also cut propaganda networks), and added $150 billion to the war budget. Meanwhile they are taking the police state to new heights in suppressing the freedom of expression, and charging high taxes via tariffs. That's not a smaller government allowing you more freedoms, if you support this administration as a libertarian you are very confused. I remember when you guys acted like you were against war and the surveillance state!

Lubuntu about 10 years ago, then Mint, openSUSE, and I've stuck with Debian for the past eight.

Even if you extracted the APK, apps can tell how they were installed and may refuse to work if it wasn't via the Play Store.

Yeah, that ROM doesn't support MicroG. It's more focused on being hardened for security

What ROM are you using? MicroG depends on a ROM feature called "signature spoofing" that allows it to impersonate the Play Services apps.

It's a drop-in replacement so it should provide push notifications and location functionality just fine for every app. Other functionality such as IAPs will probably be unsupported.

From the data I see on Plexus for WhatsApp, the core functionality and notifications work just fine on MicroG, but backing up chats to Google Drive is broken.

There's a fork of Telegram on F-droid called "Telegram FOSS" that runs a background service for notifications. I've used it and the effect on battery drain is pretty minor, like maybe 2% per charge. Not sure if something similar exists for Signal.

I use MicroG on my phone, it's a basic FOSS replacement for GMS and makes push notifications work for all apps. It gets push notifs from Google's servers but you don't need an account. It doesn't use Google at all for location, which is nice as that's a highly invasive aspect of Play Services. Not all ROMs are compatible with it, I use it on Lineage

Why "foreign" bad actors? Reddit is a US company and has "former" CIA in high-up positions. The site is heavily astroturfed by US military and intelligence. The prevailing opinions seen on the site are extremely pro-NATO and pro-"Israel". If foreign actors are trying to influence the site, they're in the extreme minority.

The site is of course also heavily botted to fake engagement, similar to how twitter is, but i think a lot of the unpleasant people on there are real. The site caters to their hostile, antisocial behavior.

The distros such as Debian, Fedora, Arch, and Ubuntu make all kinds of DEs available to the user to install. Gnome is not in charge of this, and even if they were, the suggestion that they would make other DEs unavailable is childish. You have plenty of choices

I helped someone install Windows 10 earlier this year and the only way around the Microsoft account login was to disconnect the computer from the internet before starting installation. In earlier releases there was a bypass button

I used to think radio stations were run from inside of the broadcasting tower, like how the CN Tower and Space Needle have decks near the top.

Head-in-the-sand CoL denial is why they lost and it's why they'll continue to alienate everyone. Glad to see them doubling down on it
