The government is shutdown, people are starving, flights are being cancelled, inflation is being suffocating, and people are being kidnapped at the streets. So obviously, the name of a new football stadium is DEFINITELY what he should be focusing on. Fucking hell

Isn't Lemmy technically a form of social media? 🤔

What's a backbone?

Yeah, if Android effectively kills fdroid, then it essentially becomes like iOS. Whilst you can technically still sideload, apps must get certified by Google themselves and there's no way they'll allow 90% of fdroid unless its their Google Play versions.Tbf though, I didn't know the background thing, which just goes to show that neither of them are ideal. Especially since Apple locks down their devices really hard which turns things like transferring files without a cloud service into a challenge. Therefore, in the future, I might just use a dumb phone for basic phone calls and text messages (meanly just for things like job applications or services like pharmacies) and a Linux phone for everything else. That's assuming Linux phones have evolved just enough to be usable alongside a dumb phone for what it can't do, which is SMS.

iOS would be the better alternative, if it wasn't for the hardware they run on. After all, Apple is infamous for their blatant planned obsolescence on their iPhones since the iPhone 6. Unfortunately, Google seems to be following Apple in this way as well since they launched an update that made the Pixel 6a's battery so much worse than before. Therefore, we must all have a dumb phone + Linux phone set up...or something

True, though it still makes it harder for my sister to seek asylum when they are cracking down on immigration, no? I didn't mean to imply that they are equivalent. Of course America is much, much worse.

However, since Canada also seems to be turning right, it'll more so be a move to delay the inevitable even if she is able to seek asylum. It'd be better than staying here at least, assuming America doesn't invade Canada for Lebensraum within 4 years.

Seek asylum where? Canada? They're also slowly becoming more right wing and cracking down on immigration iirc. Which is unfortunate, since I might be forced to become a criminal to support my sister's right to exist

TFW more than half of my phone's applications is getting thanos snapped and it's also carrier-locked

I've tried applying for jobs that didn't really require my degree but was adjacent to it like data entry and help desk after graduating unemployed, only to be met with more rejection and failure. It's as if my degree doesn't exist. Unless you have any suggestions for a job that only requires a non-specific degree, but I've heard having a degree in itself isn't valuable to employers at all unless it's related in some way to the job. Either way, I'm trying to stay motivated to make projects on the side to hopefully refine my programming even further, but not only do I don't have any ideas for projects that don't already exist, but I'm not fully convinced that it will be worth the time. Especially considering every other attempt that involved working and studying for many hours have blown up in my face so far.

You're so right. That's why I graduated with a degree in computer science with a 3.58 GPA whilst carrying my teams on projects and worked my ass off to apply to many jobs and internships during my education as well as learning additional skills not being taught to me on the side...only to be met with nothing but rejection after rejection without so much as an internview. Guess I should just work at Walmart for $14/hr because I'm a talentless hack that will never amount to anything. $70,000 well spent!

America is already well on its way to lose free speech as well. We have a secret police called "ICE" now, so it's only a matter of time unless the "resistance democrats" finally do their fucking job

I'm almost there. Everything I've worked hard has blown up in my face so far. It's getting harder and harder to convince myself that there's light at the end of the tunnel, especially since society is about to collapse
