  • And how much of the Soviet Union did you actually experience?

    Being born in the USSR means nothing if it was dissolved the next day and your only material experience is of post-soviet Russia undergoing shock-therapy.

    The vast majority of that “debt”, you claim she had, was only acquired after it’s dissolusion when it was forced to take on excessive IMF loans to pay for necessities that it used to produce self-sustainably, but was now restricted by arbitrary borders after being carved up.





  • The problem I have with UBI is say I get a hundred bucks a week from it, there’s not a single thing stopping my landlord, or my utility companies, or local supermarkets, or anyone in this godforsaken system from just raising their prices to siphon it all away.

    We don’t need universal income, we need universal services. Garaunteed housing, food, public transport, healthcare, everything needed to sustain atleast a basic standard of living so we’re not constantly in fear of whether the last month of 70 hour work weeks is going to be enough to keep of the streets and keep food on the table.











  • You can get Google play working by sideloading it with adb, and enabling graphene’s microG service in the apps menu.

    Any further apps installed with Google play, and Google itself, will still be under the default restrictions imposed by graphene, instead of having full access like with stock android.

    It can be a little clunky starting out, but once you get used to it, the only major downside I could find was that I couldn’t verify my bank details to enable nfc payments, because Google hasn’t whitelisted Graphene in their API for “security reasons”
