By the way, the evolutionary reason is far more interesting. We need to wear clothes in cold weather because we don't have fur. Why did we evolve to not have fur? Because not having fur allows humans to sweat. Sweating is the most effective way to get rid of excess body heat, far better then panting that many mammals use. This allows humans to run without stopping for much longer than animals, allowing humans to hunt animals by chasing them until they tire out and stop.

Of course, other animals could not evolve sweating because they are unable to use clothes and fire to keep themselves warm without fur.

As I understand it, it is not impossible, just too much effort to register an esim without google services. However, once registered, they are not needed anymore. So one solution is to register the esim on stock android before installing a custom ROM.

GrapheneOS has an even better solution where you can temporarily install google services in userspace and give them control of the esim module to register an esim and then remove the access and optionally uninstall them.

Sure, the issue is that, with no transparency, cops will use it even if they are just courios what they friends are doing. This is already known to happen in the US, where cops used it to stalk their SOs or even in extreme cases women they were starting to date.

If they already have the technology in their hands, there is no way to stop them.

Someone may be able to just make a uBlock Origin filter list. Probably no reason for special extension.

Quite possibly not. Remember that the admins running lemmy instances have very limited revenue so paying for servers is an issue. Some instances even encourage posting links instead of images to save on cost.

Videos are in a league of their own when it comes to size and therefore the server power needed. Lemmy probably can't afford it. Its the prive we pay for no ads. You have to link videos.

Still borderline illegal that they don't allow you to delete comments from private subredits...

I don't know if CCPA specifically limits itself to residents. Generally laws like this apply to any business conducted in California, unless they limit it in the law itself. This means either the user or the company is in California. Reddit is in California.

Of course there is also the GDPR in EU so I am going to try it now.
