They want access to everyone’s phones. This is about the fact that this government is having such a difficult time controlling their narrative and they want more access to be able to control it. Yes, I’m talking about the genocide in Gaza. It’s making clear to everyone the myth that the US as global peacekeeper is just that when the reality is that we are still colonizing the world and we’re the global bullies. 

Israel may have committed war crimes, but not genocide.

You are likely unaware of how much the U.S. Military, and our allies, facilitate global trade via maintaining freedom navigation; see Yemen current events as an example.

You are probably unaware that France failed at creating a canal thru the Isthmus of Panama, likely due to Malaria, that the U.S. was able to complete later. That was more inline with our take on the Monroe Doctrine. The U.S. maintained its presence, including military, in the Canal Zone up until the very end of 1999, where it became Panamanian again. I would agree that the U.S. peacekeeping has been a mixed bag, as peacekeeping often is.

France completed the Suez Canal in 1869. It, and the Panama Canal, are the two premier shortcuts for shipping in the world. Neither France nor the U.S. are "colonizing the world", and they haven't for very many decades.

You know who is still colonizing the world? That would be Russia and the PRC, and interestingly enough, there are plenty of people as yourself that are fine with that, just as they were fine with Assad murdering Syrians.

Put your efforts into actually stopping colonization by those two parties, and I will no longer consider you a "tankie", or a "useful idiot".

 

Not true currently indigenous people around the world are currently getting the boot as usual the Mapuche in Chile or the islanders on the Indonesia western side of New Guinea, West China, or the Nordic Far North, do America Indians still exist in the eastern US I notice that when they raise their hands in mild protest like union organizers they seem to get crushed? Colonization is still on going worldwide it's just more quiet it is more than a Two Body Problem in fact it's a collective Human problem.

And the surviving (people) leftovers will be gaslighted out of existence do the Netanyahu.

Native Americans, as they prefer to be called, still exist in the Eastern U.S.

It's a long list;

I apologize for not recognizing all of the colonization going on around the world, if that is what is going on with your examples, but I completely agree that indigenous people are facing pressure from larger populations of other ethnicities within their own countries.

I stand by my statement that the U.S. is not currently colonizing the world, and hasn't since the end of WWII, when the Philippines was granted its full independence.

There are a few vestiges of the Spanish colonization that the U.S. acquired in the Spanish American War, that are still maintained today. Guam, a few other islands in the Pacific, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

 The United States assumed territorial control over the southern portion of Guantánamo Bay under the 1903 Lease. The United States exercises jurisdiction and control over this territory as the home of the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, while recognizing that Cuba retains ultimate sovereignty.

Your statement with regard to the U.S. being a colonizer is false.

The latest that I have read is that Apple will not be allowed to notarize any app from an alternative app store. Hands off completely? Call me crazy but that sounds like the EU commission will take some responsibility for app safety. I would think, if this is true, that Apple will need to change the warranty on iPhones, to exclude coverage on phones that have installed malware that have damaged the phone or caused any security issues. Of course iPhones can be reset (in most cases if not bricked) but you would really need to trust the developer and the alternate app store. No thanks for me.

Where did you hear that? Currently Apple does the notarization (and check for malware) for alternative app stores.

Interesting detail: the EC told Apple that they aren't allowed to notarize apps to protect users. So "government authorities are the ones that are going to have to step up to protect" app developers and users from the risks of these 3rd-party apps.

He called it an “aberration to democracy that a company, as innovative as it may be, believes itself to be more of a custodian of public interest than democratically elected governments.” https://pro.politico.eu/news/150294 Full interview out soon.

People forget that if you store photos in iCloud you have to still keep them on the phone. If you delete them they’ll also delete from iCloud. I have always purchased the 256 GB phone and only recently have I found it going above half-full. I have Apple One for the family so its 2 TB of storage means no-one will lose their photos. If the family helps pay it’s worth it. 

There is File App for iCloud Drive that can be used for storage, should you want to delete photos, or other files, as an example, from the iPhone.

I just tried it on my obsolete 7+ and it works, but it isn't very intuitive.
