That makes much more sense, I appreciate the explanation.

Suspicious to Google sure, but I don’t see how the authorities would get involved.

Investigators were alerted to his accounts after finding an unusually high number of log-ins and failed log-ins from an unfamiliar devices, locations, or networks

I really don’t get that part. How did they make the connection?

That’s odd, I’ve got a Pixel myself and Aurora just worked right out of the box on GrapheneOS. First time I’m hearing about Aptoide though, I’ll check it out.

Since you’ve already gotten some solid answers, I just want to point out that you can use Aurora to download and update apps from the PlayStore without the need for a Google account or PlayServices on your device.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced…

I think the chances that he’s just flat out lying are higher.

Russia has alienated China already by being an unstable and unpredictable mess of a country.

At this point it seems much more likely that the US sides with Russia than China. The EU is their largest trading partner, they’d never risk losing that market.

It’s pretty impressive how consistently he picks the wrong side in every single situation.

No need for that, you can export your subscriptions and settings on your profile page.

I’d bet that Ukraine is banking on Russia not agreeing to the ceasefire. This way they can utilize the US support a little longer while also shopping for alternatives. The US will not be a reliable partner in any case, but it might still be enough to hold on for now.

When our opponents say: “Yes, we used to grant you freedom of opinion”, yes. You did, that is no reason why we should do the same to you! Your stupidity need not be contagious to us! [Laughter.] That you have given this to us - that is proof of how stupid you are! [Laughter.]

It gets substantially easier with every level. I’m almost maxed out and opening even the hardest locks is a piece of cake.

The lock picking is still the exact same system.

Funny, isn’t that the exact amount of the stimulus checks he handed out during his first presidency?

I agree. The US is nothing more than a stumbling zombie at this point.

Kids are growing up and watching their President behave this way on TV, not knowing any other. The US are cooked for generations.
