Uh, they DO still make dumb phones. And people still buy them.

and the government would have to explain precisely why they decided to ban all Google services over a song about freedom.
They wouldn’t explain shit. This is an authoritarian government we’re talking about; they have near total control of what information gets to their populace.
More likely they’d just accuse Google of supporting terrorism, and make a show of raiding their offices and jailing their local executives.
I don’t think the people in charge would last long if that happened, considering how integral Google’s services are to many people’s lives.
This is China we’re talking about. Chinese equivalents to nearly every big tech service are more than present and accounted for, even often preferred by the local populace. Hong Kong is a little different, but the CCP still exerts near total control there.
Well, you pulled out of your ass that I’ve never been to the UK when I lived there for nearly 30 years, you pulled out of your ass that I’ve never actually seen public infrastructure being used by the homeless, which I obviously have given how long I’ve lived there.
So now that we’ve established that my accusations of you pulling stuff out of your ass is well founded, do you have anything to say that isn’t an attempt at setting up a straw man or ‘no u’?
It is literally either follow this law or cease operations here. Both would end in the song being blocked anyway.
Mind you, I wish we were that level of strict when it came to our data privacy laws.
I dunno, why don’t you ask, eg: Russia?
Because by law in certain countries, homosexuality is persona non grata, and a filter needs to be there to legally operate in such countries.
My “can” includes infrastructure that I’ve actually seen being used by the homeless and setups that can feasibly be used by the homeless.
Stop pulling things out of your ass. It doesn’t make your argument stronger.
I’ve lived up and down the UK for nearly 30 years. In both the north and the south you can basically bump into public spaces that can be used by the homeless. Just because your city ain’t got them doesn’t mean it’s the same for the rest of the UK.
Until they make the wrong call and it bites them on the ass.
Yeah but they’re called talent for a reason. The senior talent are generally better than the juniors at what they do.
Bro wtf are you on about? There’s tons of public spaces in the UK, cities included.
Slippery slope? All it does is provide an enforcement option for orgs who don’t want people begging on their property.
Yep! Such container breakouts exist even today in Citrix !
Shit like this was what got me into cybersecurity
I learned to program when I was 10 on a Commodore 64. And we would wear an onion on our belt which was the style at the time… Sorry, where was I?
Totally get that, but we live in a much more dangerous and predatory computer landscape these days. It would be foolish not to take some precautions.
Standard Ubuntu should have you covered.
One word of warning though, don’t be too egregious with the parental controls. If your kids are motivated enough, they will find a way around it.
Education really is your best weapon here. Tell them about the dangers of the modern web and computing.
What they mean is if you are a affiliated with a national government. You might also be a target if you are very very rich.
If you’re an average Joe, they probably won’t burn it on you.
Yeah, unless I was cracking it myself I just can’t justify pirating on my phone. Too much sensitive shit on it lol
Bear in mind that the Switch version of Civ6 is a port of the iOS version, not the PC version (but still quite good). If you have an iDevice, consider going that route
Yep. They even made a new 3310.
