  • For the benefit of those reacting based on the headline and one-sentence summary, yes it’s a pain, I agree with the mob that it should be the user’s choice what they install, BUT, the headline is badly written, in that it implies that the app itself has to be verified, and also many commenters seem to have also inferred that it means an Apple walled-garden style Play Store lock-in which also isn’t the case. (a better headline might have been “sideloading of Android apps from unverified publishers”)

    You can still publish and run apps from outside of the Play Store, but publishers will need to get a verified key from Google to sign them with. Google don’t have any visibility of what the app actually is, they just issue you a key and you do whatever you want with it.

    Is there any evidence that he’s ever done anything to try to hide it? I’ve only ever seen that claim as an engagement-bait caption on the photo itself, to coax people into sharing it.

    There’s never any details of exactly what steps he’s taken to erase it from the internet, and in fact when I searched it just now one of the top results shows that he literally retweeted the photo himself. I mean, fuck Musk and all, but also fuck clickbait.








  • Yeah. I know that the “Eagle Displayed” heraldry has been on the American coat of arms since before it became associated with the Nazis, but it’s still a little sinister how they seem to be leaning into it as a motif a lot more this year.

    It’s the ultimate in bulletproof dogwhistles, because literally nobody can judge you for waving an American eagle around, and yet somehow it seems disproportionately popular amongst Neo Nazis…
