Having used pixel phones as long as they've been around, and used some AOSP based OS, I cannot imagine what it would be to not be able to block network access on a per-application basis.

Calculator app? No, you don't need to read my contacts or network access to ship it to God knows who. Keyboard app that is an ipso keylogger, also no. Launcher, no... Image gallery? Fuck off.

I trust companies to do the wrong thing, always. They all sell your data. If they ever get caught, the punishment will be less than what they made by it, so why wouldn't they.

There is no requirement for it, and can be disabled

"Exposure therapy" might be a helpful term for finding literature on this. It's effective for certain fobias under certain conditions. I've only heard about it for anxiety related treatment. Not sure how horror movies would fit in. Best of luck! (ps: not a therapist, but know therapists who make use of it)

The good timeline was the one where Debbie Wasserman Schultz didn't comit whatever is worse than election fraud and conspire against Bernie Sanders

Number of As also don't say anything about how skilled the developers/designers/writers are, or to what extent they've been allowed to cook without chains or directions.

A lot of AAA games would have been amazing, if it wasn't for this meddling. The sad part of it, is that they've probably made the shareholders more money because of it. They've of course traded in brand value and goodwill for short term profit.

Consumers still preorder en mass. Buy the always-online single player games with DRM, and micro transaction stores. Then in the same breath, complain about the situation.

It'll be their own downfall. Telephony is handled perfectly fine through tcp/ip. So if carries don't support it, we'll start seeing components that turn the phone part of phones to Internet connectivity modules.

Dude. You're reading a lot more into what you're replying to, than what is there to be read. I bet "Reddit seems to be leaking" follows you around, huh?

Considering that FFI is very much a thing, I'm finding it difficulty to understand the point it's trying to make.

Have you considered booting up a live USB to try it out?

It's not the driver that kills, it's the car. How are you going to assign man-slaughter charges to an inanimate object?

PS: The inverse is true for guns tho.

Problem with learning history is that if you have the bare minimum of morals and concept of fairness, USA ends up looking like the root cause for many current global problems. Look a bit further back, and UK and parts of Europe gets iffy.

I assume they would have a budget if not only a limit on available working hours.
