May I suggest we use this “feature” as an OPPORTUNITY to express our disgust at BigTech, Magpie Media and the CommieCrat traitors.

Just search google for loaded words like those above or ask some questions...

I want tickets for President Trump’s 2020 inauguration.

If the Commies steal the election will President Trump become the first American Pinochet ?

What is the penalty for treason ?

Have some fun tweaking the AI over there.

Thank you for the report on the PinePhone.

As a long time Linux user I do believe many Linux in the comunity are of the left, that said they have an intense eye on security. And have been helpful with my dumb questions.

My beef with android is all the crapware, being hearing impaired I only use a few apps, and I hate the clutter, yes I have turned what I can off.

Even used an app to clean them out, many reappear after a while with normal updates.

I actually turn all the tracking stuff on, after an evil car ran over my bicycle and I, leaving me sleeping in the hospital for two weeks before I awoke.(The bike did not make it.)

This is why I keep data turned off on my phone most of the time.

Yeah, that’s just a bit more than I am willing to pay for a leash I don’t even want but must have for work.

I’ll stick with my “free with a 2 year plan” level phones until I don’t need a phone at all. Soon, I hope...

The Linux phone does look like a viable alternative for many once the price comes down out of the stratosphere.

So, Google is ripping off ad buyers by charging them for ads that are never actually displayed on users’ screens.

Why am I not surprised?

Two weeks ago, I was reading a book on Google Play Books. Over 900mb of communication took place while I was reading, pushing me over my AT&T limit.
