Not only do they still spy on you, the security vulnerabilities in the unsupported OS makes it piss easy for anyone else to do so too.

If you MUST use a Google Android device, make accounts dedicated to your work usage only and power it off when you aren’t working.

Sir, US bombers have been spotted dropping vagina eggs on nearby villages!

Dear God…

“No new wars” much?

Okay?

I’ve read the article.

I’ve also done reading about what else the CCP does to people it doesn’t like, and how it creates an environment of deniability.

Being surprised at this is also like being surprised the Nazis used imprisoned Jews as slave labour.

Then you may wish to read a bit more about how the CCP handles ‘undesirables’ both locally and abroad. Deep fake porn is neither a stretch or an escalation from them.

I love valve as much as the next PC gamer, but I agree their rules should not affect what publishers do entirely on other platforms.

You’d be surprised how aligned with their typical playbook such an act would be.

The idea isn’t just to harass her. It’s to paint her as a persona non grata.

Underhanded behaviour and psychological/reputational damage to dissenters is absolutely nothing new to the CCP.

Something like that. Emulators also give the ability to emulate cameras using pictures or video feeds.

They just need to set up a Google play equipped emulator, set the picture as simulated camera input and put in the inputs to the emulator (also automatable)

I’m mildly surprised he can remember the number

Slop doesn’t have to be AI generated.

See for reference: most mobile games.

So, there are unsupported builds of Lineage for the phone. Can definitely understand why you wouldn’t want to try that though.

Shit, not even with Lineage? What model is your phone?

Great sarcasm!

That is sarcasm, right?

It is not saying that all men treat women poorly, but that men treat women the way they think a woman deserves to be treated.

A good man will treat a woman with respect because he acknowledges that basic human respect is deserved at that point.

A shit man will treat a woman horribly because in his mind she ‘deserves it’. Without something that changes his viewpoint he will not look back on it and say ‘I was wrong’.

And this works if you flip the genders too

I would agree. Just as everyone is the hero of their own story, no one is the ‘bad guy’ in their own story…and will often do olympic level mental gymnastics to fit that image.
