1. Instead of being "Google Play" or "Everything else" the user should be able to say: I trust Google Play, F-Droid, and APK Pure only.
2. All the handset makers need to provide support for Vanilla Stock Android VIA Lineage OS or Similar. Cough up Driver APKs, and stop allowing handset makers to bake Malicious software like ADUPS in the System area.
The US War on Terrorism, is really the war against Saudi funded Wahabi Sunni Aggression. Saudi Arabia is the philosophical Nazi Germany (bad analogy) of the War on Terrorism. They are behind the ideology that started all of this. What we are seeing as "The Islamic Invasion of Europe" Is more like an attempt by the Saudis to expand their colony states, to Europe and beyond. Many refugees from Syria are exactly that, Refugees. Some are Saudi Sunni Colonists.
The Saudis have made "colonies" of Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, the Maldives, and a few other places. They are indirectly funding Proxy armies, like ISIS, the Taliban, and Al'Queda. While ISIS has been pretty much defeated in Iraq and Syria, eventually, a new Sunni Proxy Army will show up, they will attack the Shia first, the west second. A vague Analogy to this is Protestant vs. Catholic conflicts during the 16th Century. Its the closest Christian Parallel I can draw.
Wahabi Islam is as incompatible with Liberal Western Democracy as Oliver Cromwell and 16th Century Protestantism would be if it existed today.
The thing is, this has the potential to threaten the very existance of the Human species circa Global Warming/Climate Change. The US Protects Saudi Arabia, despite the fact they are possibly the worst Regime on Earth except for maybe North Korea. The Saudi controlled Sunni states have no concept of Environmentalism or concept that their actions in Green House gas production could render the entire world uninhabitable. They have a Fatalistic cult like view of history and will drive the Human species into extinction if not stopped. For them, Fossil Fuels made them rich. If the cash flow due to the energy demands of the west stops, they die poor. Alternative Energy isn't even a question.
The issue is, all the US Does is make it worse and sell them Weapons. The US Representative Democracy has imploded into a Right Wing Oligarchy. Congress is filled with lunatics that are in entrenched Gerrymandered districts who have been there for decades that are impossible to remove. They have put a complete incompetent in the Presidency. They just ram-rodded a far right Corporatist into the Supreme Court.
The US Does stupid, ineffective things like Trump's Travel Ban that doesn't address the problem, and scapegoat's Minorities. I suspect that this will be how Humanity dies. Earth rendered uninhabitable because the US's Oligarchs were too addicted to Fossil Fuels and Saudi cash.
With the Intel AMT Platform, it is possible to render it "inert" such that yes its there, yes its running, but it won't accept any connections from the outside world. There is a Linux utility for checking if AMT is working or not. But Linux can't turn it on.
The problem is if you have Windows installed, Windows CAN re-activate it, and remotely. Can the AMD PSP be rendered harmless by containment, to where when Running Linux, it is non-functional because Windows utilities aren't there to re-activate it?
I'm a Junior maintainer for Mageia. I know we have people who happen to be from Russia registered in the Bugzilla system. Americans too. I'm worried this might affect Linux Distributions with an International scope resulting in US Contributors being charged with a Crime because sudo CVE-2017-1000367 gets published in Debian, Mageia Picks it up as MGASA-2017-0207, the US DOJ then says: US Maintainers of Mageia are in violation of this law because by posting the bug to be patched in sudo means the Russians know about it, and can exploit CVE-2017-1000367 in unpatched syetems.
Does this mean they can prosecute Open Source programmers and security experts for publishing Security vulnerabilities to Bugzilla, or LinuxSecurity.com?
The only way to fix this now is for America to some how, vote in a Liberal Government. There would need to be a complete removal of the right wing (I don't just mean the US Republicans) from power.
Right now, the reality is the Remnants of the old Confederacy rules America. Their votes have ALWAYS been privileged over the votes of the more liberal Union states, and now, its spread. Either there is a Political revolution in the country, or you can do what I and my wife did: Move to Canada.
What about Kyle Kullinski, Darvid Pakman, etc. They are Secular Humanist Political commentators and Journalists who report on current events and extremists in the news. They are Agnostic Atheists who are critical of religion, and want to hold Government accountable.
I've been using Unlocked BLU Handsets in Canada and the US on occasion. While I like this, for the USian audience out there: Ban CDMA. CDMA is one of the biggest carrier lock in scams out there. CDMA is only used in the US Now, and it was discontinued. I'm afraid to travel to the US Now, but when I used too more often, the proliferation of CDMA Towers meant that anywhere outside Large Metropolitan areas can you get good GSM coverage and there are many US Rural areas with NO GSM coverage - only CDMA.
CDMA should be considered unacceptable in the modern world for a first world.
CDMA is effectively a scheme to prevent users from switching carriers or bringing their own devices to networks, forcing them to finance ultra expensive Phones.
My Android Phones have MediaTek chips in them, and some have T-Mobile's Band 19 support. How will this impact my MediaTek Devices? Some only support HSPA+ while others LTE and Band 19 LTE.
Look Identical or indistinguishable to a Gasoline powered model. Just like there is a market for Android Phones that cosmetically resemble iPhones because of community shunning for the use of Android Phones as inferior to avoid the social stigma.
There seems to be a Social Stigma against people driving electric cars in the US, So, can they be camouflaged to look like their counterparts except for the label.
As someone who has been an international GSM Traveller, it makes me sick how the US Doubles down on CDMA. CDMA is severely patent encumbered, only one company can legally make CDMA Radios. CDMA is not supported outside the US.
CDMA makes getting unlocked Phones prohibitively expensive. The carriers charge more, its just a big scam. If the FCC carried about USians, they would mandate GSM for all carriers, and discontinue CDMA
Saudi Arabia falls and the Sunni Wahabi Jihadist movement is crushed.
Saudi Arabia is the "Nazi Germany" of the War on Terrorism. ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and all these terrorist groups are actually Saudi front Armies. The people suing FaceBook, Google, etc. are actually suing free speech.
Stopping what's going on would require basically every country in the world to stop fighting over fossil fuels, invest in renewable resources that do not come from the middle east, and developing weapons that make the Jihadists incapable of hurting us, such as Force fields in Vehicles, and Air craft they can't shoot down. The step after that is to tell the Saudi Royal Family that started this, its over.
Root the device, remove the App from the System Partition.
I have my Phone such that my Instant messenger Protocols connect to an ejabberd server running Spectrum 2. Spectrum 2 then connects to AIM/YIM/Skype (well, not FaceBook because I don't use FaceBook, and I am proud o fthat. but there is a FaceBook Module.) or whatever other IM Medium I like. To the unobservant person, it just looks like I am chatting via my home Internet connection.
Several of my boards support UEFI boot, or CSM Boot but the Secure Boot Portion can be turned off (or is absent in the case of one of my boards. I have one of the few early boards that has UEFI but not Secure Boot.). You can do a UEFI Boot without SecureBoot Verification like Macs do,
Can I reformat the Hard Drive and install Linux? One of the reasons that I have steered away from Chromebooks, is the whole "Developer mode Wiping out the OS" thing. I will not accept a situation where I cannot install whatever I want, or have to wait 30 seconds to boot, or if I don't press Space Bar then Enter it will wipe my OS. I would only consider this if I knew I could:
1. Disable UEFI Secure Boot, and load a Linux of my choice. 2. Nothing would trigger it to delete my Linux install and start reinstalling Windows from Elsewhere.
This is what I do with my Toshiba laptops. Windows never boots. I put the disc in, boot to the CMOS, boot from the disk, wipe hard drive, fresh install.
I think the election of Trump has shown something. That the US Democracy has finally collapsed. The US may be able to get away with electing a Democrat next term at the end of this four years or not. But:
- We will never be able to remove the Conservative Majorities from Congress. The Conservative parties will commit whatever fraud is needed to stay in power, from vote rigging to stealing voting machines. - We will see a persistent See-Saw of Corporate Democrat followed by Right Wing Republican, even if ten million Popular voters vote a left wing Populist candidate like Bernie Sanders, the DNC and RNC will do whatever they can to stop them from being nominated. - Failing that the Electoral College will put the more conservative candidate in office. Over riding how the Popular vote goes.
- Wealth inequality will expand. - Healthcare in the US will continue to get worse.

Its a vaccum cleaner. Can it be denied internet access and still function?

And I'm proud of it.
I browse the web with uBlock Origin, I use FaceBook Disconnect and GreaseMonkey. I IM from my Mobile Device through XMPP to a Spectrum 2 Server.
What I do want to know is, how can I get information on what FaceBook knows about me as a non-user.

Gave Android a bad reputation. A lady once asked me if my Blu Studio 5.0 was one of the Phone that caught fire.

Same here, I use a Pre-paid T-mobile Sim in the US.

They have that money because they robbed the public of billions. with Subsidized Phone plans, and creating debt for the public.
They are doing this to go after the Rooters. They want to close off the "Root your device and load whatever you want" hole in these devices.
