Imagine having to warp reality THIS much, just to make it fit your twisted narrative?
So does this mean Google will also block services that are being used to harm other vulnerable groups, like all the ones being targeted by Snowfla- I mean ICE?
uwu they are working under very hash conditions to terrorise children and other civilians
Bet everyone keeps on using their google phones though...
Moaning online aint gonna do shit. Not buying their new phones, not using their old phones, will send the message you want to send. Get an old nokia, or a dumb phone, or two cans and piece of string, or no phone. If you think this is action by google is them cosying up to fascists, then you have a duty to harm that company by not giving them money.
They rely on convenience to trap you. Turn your phones off, dont buy the new ones, get dumb replacements if you need to. Fuck apple and fuck google for cosying up to this admins Gestapo bullshit.
Their phones don't make them that much money. Don't use the search service.
It’s just hard to drop the maps especially when car software will only pair with google maps. That’s about the only thing that does not have an easy alternative.
I'm using organic maps, and a simple phone holder does the trick in the car. No need for the on-screen navigation.
Cops will give a ticket for distracted driving if a phone is used even in navigation. The screen is a safety feature.
What? As long as I program the route before starting and don't touch my phone until I arrive, nothing happens.
Nothing to do with touching it. If it’s presently in use in any way they will ticket for distracted driving. Some people are even pstd if someone beside the driver is using their phone. The screen provided way to circumvent this issue.
In which country is that? I've used my phone for navigation for the last 10 years or so without issues.
I have too before the screen. Australia and Canada the police will go as far as grab your bag and dig out your phone and call you distracted. I’ve had one spot my phone over in my passengers seat (unused) and attempt to accuse me of being distracted by it.
Buy a map book. Plan your journey in advance. Cars were a thing for decades before map software was a thing, and everyone muddled through. You can too.
That's unrealistic and a much slower option than other map software.
It was also much more dangerous. I know, I was there.
Somethings today advanced for safety reasons for very good reason. If it comes negotiating conspiracy over safety I think it’s at that moment that it’s fair to say it is unreasonable.
One of the founders of Fairphone is working on a European alternative phone OS called Mobifree, which is also open source. Google free Android also already exists.
