Is this a new thing? or am i special?

Of the largest android sellers, only samsung requires gplay. Xiaomi, vivo, oppo, realme, honor, are all chinese companies that require non-bundled google play for their domestic (and maybe other countries?) releases. Google can't alienate these sellers, and if they did, all of these companies would create their own AOSP fork (or just switch to HarmonyOS)

I recently bought a xiaomi android tablet that doesn't have google play services luckily.

Comrade dessalines, shilling chinese corpo slop instead of the standard open-source solutions.

Not very revolutionary!

While technically true, this feels malicious.

Let me swap the pedo king for shepooh!

reason: insulting

Apparently having an earnest discussion about a public figure's behavior will now be censored by Proton "mods"

https://lemmy.world/modlog/37655

Looks like they stepped up their modding recently due to unfavourable commentary on the CEOs comments regarding Trump administration

With authoritarian governments increasingly turning to censorship to silence dissent, limit information, and manipulate public opinion, Proton VPN and the anti-censorship services it provides have never been more critical.

🤡

I guess CEOs have feelings too?

Keep digging this hole Andy, clearly you don't understand who pays for your services.

mod Removed Comment Well you know how the american Jew feels about African Americans haha So much rich history there by sunzu2@thebrainbin.org

reason: What?

Hmmm.... Why did this get removed? Seems like content censorship

Why is it such big deal for some people?

Torrenting my linux ISOs and public domain contenty and it seems to work fine without port forwarding?

Alright good folk, what's your take here.

Just looking to seed the place a little a bit with some side bar discussion, maybe get into more feeds to spread the word.

When I joined fedi, privacy on ml seemed like decently robust community but I would posit that endless modding of anti China and Russia sentiment really chocked the air out of it.

Similar thing is happening on .world too

Need to expand local storage for local media streaming. Running a regular desktop on linux.

I am willing to spend money on "the best" for streaming purpose while and hopefully something I can keep reusing down the road if it lasts.
