It'll be interesting to see how they cope. They've already set up their own chip fabrication plants so they're probably going to do the same thing as Apple and just license and fabricate CPUs and GPUs for new models, but the bigger problem will be being cut out of Google's software 'ecosystem'. Software is not China's strength, and there are few existing alternatives outside of just pouring funding into open source projects like f-droid.

Issues with payment processors has been a major blocker for many sorts of "fringe" activities. For a long time cannabis dispensaries here were either cash only or charged upward of 20% to process a card. In the crazy angry white dudes case it's kind of amusing that FIs are the second line, first the major "platforms" attempted to shut them down under the guise of run off the mill modern liberal moral outrage, and only when reorganization else started to gain just a bit of traction did financial infrastructure step up to stop them, an industry with more.... (((Obvious reasons for being hostile to this content))).
Not that I expect it to matter, but in the us at least we have a very different history of regulating and treating as public infrastructure financial services vs. internet corporations. It takes some wind out of the sails of the "the go build your own" argument when the people who are supposed to build their own are being locked out of access to the single most important thing for a successful venture in our society: capital.

This is only the third picture I've ever had taken that I've liked
Lmao I love this.
The ill fitting suit The clearly tied-then-slipped-on necktie The rough Luke Skywalker hair The scraggly chin beard The baby face The beat up leather shoes And best of all the extra erect, deliberate display of trigger discipline
What a perfect picture

Oh yeah, voting is mandatory in Australia.
I generally don't bother voting at all. I find it compromises my objectivity and gives me a false sense of investment in the system.
yeah I can't really afford to throw away the $80 or whatever the spastic fine is nowadays at the moment. I used to just draw pictures or write threats on the paper but I figured this might be a little more productive.

If it ever becomes mandatory, this is what I'll be doing

if you're doing what it sounds like, no exchange is going to allow it without establishing trust and accountability with you. if you want to bypass the exchange's fraud vetting processes they will pass the responsibility on to you, along with the regulations that go with it.

This is a permanent goodbye. Today I'm out of weed and my okaasan said she's never buying it again, so from here on out I'm going to be sober. Ahead of me is a new life, one of mystery and adventure … I'm going to buy an iMac and then go on to become a programming and music god. I might eventually live out of an RV and move to Montana where I will join a white nationalist movement and go on to live and breathe the 14 words and later help them genocide all jews and traitors. It wasn't nice knowing you and I literally used you all as a place holder, filler if you will, I was desperate for socializing and you filled the void at that moment and honestly the only reason I ever stayed is because this place reminds me a little bit of TOTSE (it's just the background and UI). It's been almost three years and I'm ready to move on, in fact I'm ready to move on from the internet entirely and open the next chapter of my life.
Let this also be a message to all of my other online communities and friends You were useful in particular periods of my life but now it's time for me to move on I don't see the past 15 years as a waste, in fact it was a great learning experience and from all of this I have evolved into the person I am today so for that I guess thanks? But I hate you all so fuck off.

Fuck Donttellem is hilarious.
She responded with person offence to a grease reference, then was accused of wearing corduroys and was extremely proud to say she's never worn them and no one can prove she ever has as a source of boastful pride and threw in a racial slur to imply the accuser is a corduroy wearing minority.
She's got like 10k posts and has never made a thread because whenever she tries to make one she sees a post attacking her personally she needs to respond to immediately
Lol. There are true & falses to that statement. I'm a Beast. ☺️
