The algorithm can recogbize those "censored" words just fine. But the post does get more exposure because people commenting on the shitty censoring creates engagement that the algorithm values.

Definetely in the top 10 billion worst types of people.

Where do you think he got his evidences from?

Im sure the us uses its tech dominance to sway political opinions one way or another in my country (brazil). And spying on people is a requirement for that. It seems like an attitude in line with the history of the relations between the us and brazil (and countless other countries). China probably tries that too, although i dont have a strong historical evidence for that disposition from china.

Soon aurora store may stop working. They could add some crap to the apks in the play store that checks whether the phone has google services. So either the devs put their apks somewhere available (like on fdroid, which most wont do), or theyll just put their binaries on the play store, which will just be a useless blob for those that dont have play services. Then we get another shitty cat an mouse game about spoofing play services, them catching up, on repeat.

Linux handheld with a 4g usb modem, doing calls over the internet. Just an idea, im not doing this, nor do i know how practical it actually is.

A public health system can focus on the prevention of health problems, which saves a lot of money... and lives. The private sector has no interest in that.

Good idea. I dont know why that didnt occur to me, i actually have a tablet that i could use for that.

A pocket linux pc would be great. Why do you want to keep the sim in the normie phone? Or is that just in case you get a handheld that doesnt have a sim slot?

Whats the issue with taking (1) and/or (3) in international trips? Is it about those countries that want to search you phone at the airport?

Yea, maybe not a bad idea, depending on the price and how many years of updates it still has.

Ive used Insular, that creates a "work" profile, mainly because the apps become somewhat hidden and it allows for a different password than the main profile. So I can share my main pin for other people to use my phone while still keeping the banking apps out of reach. But some apps just wont work if they detect a custom rom or even unlocked bootloader, even in insular.
