France’s “demonic” Opening Ceremony isn’t the only thing that’s riled up fans, as organisers sit accused of trashing the “spirit of the Olympics”.

The “demonic” Opening Ceremony, fleshed out with a host of pseudo-artistic dances and set pieces, left countless viewers scratching their heads at exactly what message the host city was trying to put in front of 2.4 billion eyeballs across the globe.

"A drag performance involving children, apparently reimagining The Last Supper is being widely condemned as "hyper-sexualised" and "blasphemous" by online critics."

The spirit of Olympic Games means the best athletes, best humans that have strong values and determination who dedicate their lifetime to a goal bigger than themselves!

Olympians do everything through LOVE and PASSION, they are strong characters who don't compromise!


How is such an olympic ceremony celebrating the olympians and the olympic games spirit?

Lets talk about IMEIs of our phones too... Why is it illegal to change your phone IMEI?

Exactly!

I'm using /e/ os for more than 3 years on different devices (with some customizations) and it works like a charm. An important aspect is that you can install e on any phone that has the bootloader unlock and supports GSIs - theoreticaly any device that runs Android > 9

/e/ has a gsi image which is neat!

I don't use nor promote any banking apps or other G**gle/proprietary dependendent apps.

Why nobody talks more about e.foundation /e/ OS?

Enlighten me please 🙂

Well put!

I've been saying this since they made their services available...Nobody listened to me.

Usually when I said sth. like you mentioned, people look at me like they look today:

Ohhh...You are a conspiracy theorist...

No mate, I have a better understanding of the fucking computers and technology because I do this for a few decades...

Hoping they will listen to you!

"Historically, the default name for this initial branch was master. This term came from Bitkeeper, a predecessor to Git. Bitkeeper referred to the source of truth as the "master repository" and other copies as "slave repositories". This shows how common master/slave references have been in technology, and the difficulty in knowing how the term master should be interpreted."

Nice analogy!

To complete your answer: where "UDP flooding" is caused by Propaganda machine using AI & Botnets which can only be created/handled by BIG/state actors which have access to this kind of resources...

Well said!

"Many people probably won't be bothered by these things, but I am."

You are not alone! There are still many knowledgeable people who understand what you mentioned.

Thank you for bringing up this topic!

Enjoy playing the guitar! 🙂

If one is to compare apple to apples, imho the decision to choose between Signal, Whatsapp and Telegram and other "messengers" is obvious and clear.

Signal is fully open source! You can run it on-premises, if you know your business!

Why are we not talking about it?

I hope my comment will not be discarded/removed as not being in sync with the narative... 😉
