My Xiaomi phone for $400 supports up to 1 TB SD cards, so that’s pretty sweet.

Here’s a few things that are cheaper!

• Soulseek/Nicotine+
• Usenet Groups
• Libraries (only if your local one has CDs, and often is popular music and no indie stuff) And if you want some album art: MusicBrainz Picard

If you want it on your phone, SD cards are cheaper than ever for big space. Unless you’re on iPhone.

From the article we’re commenting on:

There is no law requiring AT&T to store decades’ worth of Americans’ call records for law enforcement purposes. Documents reviewed by WIRED show that AT&T officials have attended law enforcement conferences in Texas as recently as 2018 to train police officials on how best to utilize AT&T’s voluntary, albeit revenue-generating, assistance.

And I have voted, I voted for Biden to “not be Trump” and he’s doing okay at that. I’m personally still waiting on protections for queer people, major laws against police brutality, higher minimum wages, healthcare reform, decriminalizing cannabis, codifying Roe v. Wade, or anything else that was planned to win over voters but still don’t have the time to do anything about.

But i guess we have the political capital to:

Violate 26 federal laws to continue building the wall that Trump wanted

Have bipartisan support to enstate a formal dress code because a Senator wore a hoodie

And I don’t recall ever voting to support Israel’s bombing of Palestine, not in 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022, or any other election year. There isn’t some referendum of “Hey maybe don’t play geopolitical chess that gets hundreds killed” that I can vote on. Joe “Nothing WIll Fundamentally Change” Biden said to Congress in the State of the Union, to a nation filled with people protesting police brutality We need to Fund the Police to a roaring clap from both parties.

Please tell me more to vote harder to stop the genocide of Ukrainians, Palestinians, Yemenis, and everyone other oppressed people. Please tell me to vote harder for milquetoast candidates who pay lip service while they allow fascism to grow openly and easily, because “they need to reach across the isles and compromise”.

I can’t wait until some liberal tells me I should have voted harder for something that is continued endlessly under all forms of politics.

I can’t vote harder to a CEO who has no legal requirements to store this data, but does so anyways.

I can’t vote harder to the police of my area or state, or the FBI.

I can’t vote harder to a president who does not give a shit about any citizens, just “slightly not as racist or as horrible of a rapist, but blue”. Especially when “constitutional lawyer” Obama started the DAS, didn’t do anything when exposed via Snowden but want him arrested for exposing the truth, and Trump and Biden did nothing.

Lol

Please do not suggest people to use Manjaro.

https://github.com/arindas/manjarno

https://www.hadet.dev/Manjaro-Bad

https://rentry.co/manjaro-controversies

Manjaro’s maintainers have repeatedly:

• Let SSL certs expire, asking end users to turn back their system clock until they fixed it.

• Told users to make partial updates which often causes packages to break, including mandatory rollbacks on critical packages such as systemd

• Held back packages for ~1-2 weeks to improve stablity, but does not do this for all packages, including the AUR, which causes dependency hell and breakage.

• Rolled out an edit to a AUR package that repeatedly sent requests to aur.archlinux.org which made the servers experience a DDOS attack, impacting all users.

I am not saying this to hate on Manjaro, but to inform OP and others. If they want a stable yet fresher distro, they should choose something more like Fedora or Ubuntu. If they want something rolling, Arch includes an installer in its iso that is really simple to understand.

Edit: I guess I hate Manjaro for pointing out they run their packages horribly. I’m such a bad guy for that. Woes Manjaro.

Also, please explain how you want people to question the government, but support that very same government banning ways to find info to question it?

Oh yeah a nation that spies on everything and arrests anyone who disagrees with Putin sure is gonna revolt.

Blaming a nation of people who are unable to change their government with voting or revolution doesn’t help them. It makes you look like someone who’d blame all Japanese in America for Pearl Harbor.

Their options are not express free thought to a nation that kills its state officials when they are done being useful, or be buried near those officials in an unmarked grave.

The same logic applies to Americans in 2004. Not every american agreed with the Iraq invasion, but I guess Bush did all Americans must be removed from the Great equalizer of the Internet.
