It was a mistake not annexing the entirety of mexico after the mexican-american war

they'd have made for a shit state anyways

i say we make mexico aztec again

Why, would the CIA build cartels in a US state? :^)

go ahead and make california mexico again, we only take it back later in another war >:3

Well that's what SA is for innit?

Hello guys! What are you all talking about?

Imperialism

with a touch of drugs

This chat is weird

Who here is cutting google out as much as possible, and what have you managed to cut out?

I've cut out chrome, not used Google except docs, photos and youtube

im only supporting google because a cyberpunk revolution cant happen without a megacorporation sticking their dick in everything

Phone?

On phone I use Opera

Oh I mean for OS

Android

Can't cut that out

Google has shit installed on the OS itself

That's what you think

Stuff like Google play

And services

Google account is the real danger

I can't remove it

The joy of Android is that it's FOSS, so people make forks

It's a dystopia, you're supposed to stop it. Not create it.

you cant stop it if it never happen

But do the forks actually matter?

Well google got fined earlier by eu

So I cut out the main android fork.

the bigger the fish, the better the catch

Yes, Android has some nasty security problems

I don't want to fuck around with my phone you see

It's my only one

Its not hard

I've been saving for a couple of months to buy it

That's fair. The fork I use is device specific to a list of like 7 or 8 devices now

So there's that too

And you can almost always fix it

Oh, I have nougat

I will say though that it's not hard to do

@Beemann what fork is this?

Copperhead

how google free is it?

And how do oyu load apps?

No play store or framework, no bad camera app, different SMS app, chromium instead of chrome

F-droid or apps that skim the play store, or just straight APKs

hold on, are you saying the andorid camera pps are bad?

The android camera has a bunch of security flaws, or at least did when I made the switch

And then the additional apps you get on the store are usually cancerous

Did not know.

My only regret is not looking into the TorPhone project, which is basically Copperhead+Superuser and a few Tor apps

Are there compatibility issues? It seems like phones with quirks might have driver problems

You get updates specific to copperhead. Your phone doesn't have google play framework so Snapchat and such won't work

Any app that requires a Google process to run won't work because you won't have the process

But everything else is fine

How would you know if you use a google process in an app?

Honestly F-Droid is good to check out regardless

It tells you when you install it

There's probably a list somewhere too

Honestly, I know android is spying on me, but what's the worst that can happen really

It's just to target ads at me. It's not like they're looking through my camera

I mean they can

If you wanna go dark 100% you need to not have a smartphone though

It's just about the threshold really

But I'm not a criminal or anything, there's nothing to hide really

Like US Gov is gonna be able to spy on your shit if they really want to. That's inevitable. I'd just like for them and other similar agencies to be the only ones

And when I'm doing....you know.....I keep my phone away

i'd prefer if they'd do it a little less

I would also prefer that

I'd prefer it sure

But if you wish in one hand and shit in the other....

But ehhh

I don't like what Facebook did

Honestly. I'm not really sure you can stop it.

i never trusted the zucc

never had a fb

There's so many cameras these days.

So many other people with phones.

Cos they took call histories, and took the contact numbers

Oh I 994 tapped out of social media ages ago and never liked FB

So much being monitored,

99%*

I may have consented
