There does not need to be any connection. Any state that has a specific ideology that it pushes on its people will be concerned with making sure that new generations follow it. And the earlier you start to do it, the most effective it will be. That’s like priority #1. Typically it’s done through controlling the kids’ school (or even pre-school) curriculum, so that certain societal values and appropriate attitude to major historical events are instilled. These “youth groups” are for most suspectible kids with cooperative parents to instill extra loyalty and encourage them to fully participate in and uphold the system that the state created.

Yeah that’s a solved problem. Iran, Russia, China and other countries have gone through this “stages of denial” process years ago. It starts with “haha they are incompetent and can’t block everything” and 10 years later half the Internet is blocked and you have prison sentencing for accessing “illegal” information (for the flgood of the people of course). Anyone who claims that internet censorship is not possible is a naive person fortunate enough to live in a place where it’s not a thing.

“IT people/programmers are furry gay liberals” is a myth. There are plenty of bootlickers among them, like in any large enough group of people that’s not defined by a specific ideology/political affiliation.

Turn on the lights

Or just don’t scroll in bed at night

F-droid doesn’t just check for reproducibility, they build and sign apps themselves. They don’t take apks from devs, only source code (this also means that F-Droid apks are not compatible with play store apks and can’t be mutually updated die to different signatures. I.e. you can’t install app from play store or directly from dev and update it from f-droid, and vice versa).

Nah, all Android phones are like that, even Pixels. Android set hard limits on how much memory apps can use and it doesn’t take into account the amount of actually available memory.

My previous phone was Pixel 4a 5g it wasn’t much better. I don’t remember any issues with it’s camera app specifically, but it would occasionally unload apps. Especially when it’s battery was under 50% even though there wasn’t any power save modes enabled (this might be a cognitive bias, but subjectively I noticed a correlation).

My Galaxy S23 with 8gb kills all other apps when I open camera and take a photo. Meanwhile actual memory usage never exceeds 50%, including “cached” apps that are kept in background.

Where are all the fuckable men?

They’ve all been in prison

What’s even the point of playing story games then if the story is condensed and simplified to such a degree? If all explanations are spoon fed to you and the story if so primitive that the bar is on the floor it just becomes boring. At this point you are better off playing games that focus on gameplay instead, it will be a more fun experience.

It’s like reading a summary of a book of just watch a short clip about it on TikTok because books are “too long” and then calling yourself a reader.

Yeah OpenVPN is often used for business reasons (e.g. by remote workers), so it’s usually not blocked wholesale, only throttled (and known public VPNs providers and blocked via blacklisting their endpoints’ ip addresses). Wireguard meanwhile is used much more rarely so there is less fallout from blocking it completely.

Wireguard is not difficult to block either, it’s not designed to be hidden. China, Russia, etc have learned long ago how to detect and block it. The only semi-reliable way to bypass sophisticated VPN blocking techniques is to use protocols that mask as regular https traffic (and self-host it since well know public VPNs will of course be dealt with by simply blocking packets to their ip addresses).

It was never about freedom, but about restoring control of European governments over their citizens’ online presence and their data, so that everything they do on the internet is subject to European laws and regulations, not American ones.

The joke is rape

No, for some reason they end up really good at tech.

Clearly the technology is inherently nazist and the solution is for us all to return to nature.

Do you see it with all videos? Could be a problem with a specific encoding parameters that some videos use.

Also, have you installed codecs from rpmfusion? You need them for hardware decoding with non-flatpak players (and browsers) since Fedora complies with US patent law and don’t have those codecs by default, and uses h264 codec from Cisco instead which sucks. What does vainfo command says (you may need to install libva-utils)?

Most people only have a smartphone and maybe a tablet, and don’t have personal PC or laptop. Android and iOS automatically upload stuff to the cloud (at least photos).

It has much slower release cycle and ancient kernel. For people with new hardware it’s not suitable.
