  • Yes, play services can be installed and used on Graphene, I have it installed currently and it meets the version requirements set forth in the FAQ.

    That being said, there’s speculation in the groups that Google will eventually go the same way with this as they did for locking out privacy users from the Google Pay system, saying it’s not a trusted OS. This could very well end the same way. I can see a ton of people dipping their toes in the waters of privacy-based operating systems on their phones to go back to Google’s Android because they don’t want to lose access to every single site that uses ReCAPTCHA in far greater numbers than were persuaded by locking them out of pay services.







  • Legislating against a hostile market takeover like this isn’t a bad thing.

    I understand your point but your analogy would only work if Amazon were trying to convince the country that diapers were a sham, destroying the earth and inferior to swaddling your baby in poison ivy leaves.

    I hope China continues to subsidize the fuck out of the cars and I hope the world starts buying them, Tesla goes under and my government is left trying to explain to their constituents how, exactly, petroleum fuel is still the only logical answer and then explains why we can’t have a Chinese-made EV like the rest of the world.

    in an attempt to take over global clean energy tech.

    Don’t look now, but that ship has sailed. They are the global leaders in that tech. We could have competed if the dolts that put our current administration didn’t lack the critical thought to realize they were being lied to about solar, wind and electric. Now, the only card the US can play is to try to block the smarter countries from competing.












  • It’s dimensional lumber so it’s not actual size but before they started shorting them for profit, they were called 2x4s because they measured 2 inches x 4 inches. 4x4s, 6x6, 1x8, 2x12, etc. They all represented actual dimension of the lumber but you’ll notice that today, they are basically 1/2 inch short in every dimension so a 2x4s actual measurement is 1 1/2" x 3 1/2".

    If you tear apart the walls or look in the attic of a home built in the first half of the 20th century, you’ll see lumber that actually measures their stated size.
