    Root your android and install a firewall, rights manager (Xprivacy is the best I know), and a tool to disable services so you can kill Google ad and analytics services. That should givre you some edge.

    Mostly on pressure from jews in the US who apparently have a huge voting and bribing capacity. The same mechanism that has prevented normal relations between the US and Cuba for decades.

    This will be fixed with import tariffs if the UK wants to export to the EU.

    For exactly that reason Spain will probably veto an independent Scotland from entering the EU.

    Obama is very much a right winger compared with most politicians on the planet. The problem in the US is that you can choose between right wing (Democrats) and right wing extremists (Republicans), so it is less obvious. Sanders would be a little saner choice but the Democrats seem to be radicalizing too with Clinton.

    But at least they can keep the Poles and the niggers at Calais out.

    I doubt very much that all trade between the UK and EU would stop. The EU trades a lot with other countries, I see no reason why it wouldn't with the UK if they left.

    I'm shilling for the people who suffer from those sanctions that only serve the fascist coup junta in Kiev and some buerocrats like Verhofstad who want a collision course with Russia. I don't see why we would start pissing the Russians off while at the same time apeasing the Turkish would-be Sultan Erdogan who is clearly a much greater threat for Europe with his blackmailing with the immigrant flow.

  11. Re: All right! on Why You Should Stop Using Telegram Right Now (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, that's obvious an advertisement. However, I think "Allo" will become just as popular as Google+ or Hangouts - both have ignorable market shares in the messenger market. At lease Telegram has something of a user base. Signal is nice but their user base is too small yet. Fortunately WhatsApp uses their protocol now.

    You could always use Silence (https://github.com/SilenceIM/Silence): it is a fork of Signal that uses only sms/mms, so no gapps required or used. They forked after Signal dropped the encrypted sms option.

    Some issues in the EU can be decided by majority. Those decisions can be made very UK-unfriendly when the UK tries that.

    What economic meltdown? A few % lower stock prices and a lower off the pound? Doesn't sound like an "economic meltdown" to me. And most of the economic damage will probably be at the expense of bankers, stock traders and wealthy property owners in London. Most ordinary people don't care about that.

    The UK can now drop the stupid EU sanctions against Russia and open new trade opportunities.

    The Bremain campaign wasn't any better so blaming it on the dirtyness of the campaign won't help.

    And that is a bad thing because? BTW, since when did niggers have the same rights as humans in the US? Not much before the 1970's IIRC.

    It's not free so that reduces usage a lot.

  24. Re:I have a slightly different take on these three on Battle of the Secure Messaging Apps: Signal Triumphs Over WhatsApp, Allo (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    If you look at the installed base, WhatsApp if the biggest. After that, we get Viber, Wechat and Line. Wechat is of course unsecure and mostly used in China or by Chinese-speaking people. So for western countries, if you order by user base Whatsapp is by far the nr 1.

    SMS is falling FAR behind, even though even more people can use it, because it costs money in most countries and has far fewer functions.

    I run two: a normal IMAP client, and an Exchange client for work email.
