I've been watching #trailers for TWO FUCKING HOURS and I still haven't seen even one movie or show that I want to see. Either everything today is crap or my taste has become too esoteric, but I don't think see because I enjoy Jason Statham #movies. #tv #streaming

Due to decades of wealth consolidation at the top and trillions spent on imperialist wars, capitalism is in crisis and failing to meet people’s needs. That is why millions of students and workers are rising up. They realize the system is a lie and that a better world is possible!

Norway has removed all of its $2tn Investment Fund from Israel linked banks, as it continues its policy of BDS against Israel.
Well done Norway.

A Utah woman peacefully protesting the Utah County Planning Commission’s approval of a data center ordinance was violently slammed to the ground by a sheriff’s officer. The state is always violent whether we are peaceful or not. This is not democracy. This is a dictatorship of capital.

Greece has joined the European protests in France, Spain, Italy and Albania.
We are sick and tired of billionaires and their blatant theft.

Two critical PHP vulns incoming. Patch lands 14:00 UTC. Our Addon site and forum have been taken offline. Proactively.
Reminder: SuperTuxKart doesn't need our servers to run.
Internally we also have sped up our efforts to move away from PHP for the addons website to re-implement it into a modern language.

The crisis grows worse for the Government in Albania as all the University staff across the country have walked out and joined the protests.
Here an Albanian student emphatically explains the problems, crippling costs and terrible services.
The same as in many other countries.

Do banking apps specifically target GrapheneOS to block it?
The most common argument that discourages newcomers from installing GrapheneOS is the fear that their banking app might not work. In reality, most banking apps used worldwide work perfectly well, as you can see in the link below.
However, some apps actively block GrapheneOS users. For example, Revolut had a script specifically checking whether the OS running the app was GrapheneOS, and if so, blocking it purely for being GrapheneOS, not for being insecure or outdated. Revolut runs perfectly well on ancient, unsafe devices.
Banned for being GrapheneOS - just because you want a privacy-focused device. While Revolut is a specific case, most other banking apps that don't work fail because they enforce Google Play Integrity checks. But that is GOOGLE'S FAULT.
It is only because Google specifically targets GrapheneOS (which is the safest OS available) with their Play Integrity hardware attestation that we can't have every banking app possible on GrapheneOS.
Google is just mad that you are de-Googling and taking your privacy back.
Don't let them stop you.
De-Google, get GOS.
