I promise I’ll acquire some bucks to donate too 😇

Greetings!

Surprised it took this long for someone to say something 😅

Thank you, I completely missed that.

You don’t need religion to be authoritarian, tyrannical and self-centred.

Iran Protest Death Toll Could Top 30,000, According to Local Health Officials

EDIT: I’m not just gonna potentially do the propaganda work of a nation state. So I’ll add my personal opinion here. It is very possible both these sources are influenced to pushing regime change, and not for the people, but their own self-interests. The numbers are extremely high, and many adjacent information don’t line up with this narrative. Please use your own critical thinking.

A lot of relevant discussion in this thread: PieFed vs Lemmy. What say you?

Personally, cross-posting and feeds in browser without any apps is a big plus.

Nobody can live their life with zero connections to deadly violence, so trying to change minds by force is coercive. And they hate that, so they want a pejorative word for it, so they came up with calling it “terrorism.”

Ehhh…
I feel like you are generalising a lot of variance into “anti terror” crowd. There are layers to non-violence and people have different beliefs.

Also, in the Healthcare case, the target was MUCH more directly connected to the harm that is acted against, as well as in intent and severity, than the victims in 9/11. He was the target, and I don’t see anything like intent to invoke fear in the general public.

Explains the issue of google locking out non-playstore apps, etc. and also explains these links. That’s pretty much it.

Some more information:

I looked at four different Samsung phones today (physically in the region). 2x phones bought in Europe. 2x phones bought in the region.

All non-rooted, stock android.

None of the phones had Aura installed. Two of them had AppCloud installed (one EU phone, one phone from the region) and it couldn’t be disabled as easily as the other phone. (I haven’t tried ADB, etc. yet, just the standard uninstallation procedure).

I don’t think domination is actually intelligent or smart.

The app’s privacy settings claim that users can disable this data collection by turning off “AppCloud” in the app list. But, according to SMEX, deletion requires the user to submit a form that does not exist, making it impossible to fully remove, at least without advanced technical expertise.

Hm, I just uninstall AppCloud no problem in a non-rooted, stock android in and from the region.
It also showed the URI or whatever of com.something.aura.

However, can’t find any Aura app.

Looks like Aura app gets installed by AppCloud. I’m a bit frustrated I can’t find a list of apps known to be installed by AppCloud, or that include this *.aura.* URI. I mean this should be relevant for a shit ton of people and could be easily crowdsourced.
