I'll believe it when I see it.

What normally happens is the money gets what it wants.

Oh God. What a fool I am. I am talking to somebody who is on the Fediverse since 2 weeks and working for effing law enforcement in the US.

Everything becomes so much clearer now.

Good bye, good sir. You have a lot to learn about the free internet. Please think back to this moment, when learning hits you like a stack of brick in the coming months.

I think I'll rather loop back to the beginning of our conversation: Yes, by all means, please stay in the US. Don't come to Europe.

Though I pity your fellow citizen.

> You find the exit before you can answer my question!

There was no question. But guess what: I don't owe you a conversation. Of course this applies vice versa.

And since we are free-speeching and speaking on the record: Your attitude and your beliefs make me want to puke [1]. And I suspect not only me, even some of your fellow citizens.

Thankfully not all US-Americans are like you. And not all Americans are US-Americans (this also for the record, since US-citizens seem often take it as granted that the USA equals "America").

And now simmer in your Republican filter bubble. We in Europe don't want any of your icky politics here. We might not have perfect politics, but at least it isn't this icky.

<shakes head>

[1] One of the reasons why this is so, is that you gun fetishists appear put your right "to bear arms" over children's right to physical integrity. Which should go completely counter to core US-American values, but those don't matter in the endorphin rush of firing a gun.

> 3.

You shouldn't mainline JD Vance aka The Hillbilly. It's not healthy. I seriously doubt you have seen anything personally.

For your record, nobody's trying to be cool here. Just using my freedom of speech.

Yes, LOL.

Thank God there are Americans which are a bit more self-critical than you.

BTW, you attempt at comic sarcasm doesn't translate well between our different cultures. You don't sound cool ...

I'd wish you a nice day, but you wouldn't appreciate it. Don't see ya.

But, umm yea, I couldn't care less about the World Cup. It's obvious who's intentions are behind that. £100 million clubs aren't my fancy when there are MUCH MORE important issues to address. lol

> 1. It's American slang.

Condescending slang.

> 2. The right to bear arms is a universal, inalienable right every country in the world should give it's citizens.

Nah, I think we'll pass on this. We are more for the right to arm bears.

> 3. That's your impression of me. I've seen instances where citizens in the UK and Germany have been punished for certain statements online.

This statement, with the visa situation for the World Cup being what it is, cannot avoid being ironic. Unintendedly so, in your case, of course.

I’m pretty sure that the Linux foundation cares for open source infrastructure, and now that Android is planning to make it harder to side-load apps - we need alternatives more than ever.

You want a full feature set? Go complain to Apple about it. What the EU regulation demands could've easily been done by Apple; it is not even more effort, just a slightly different way of doing things. But Apple actively decides against it; they want to monopolize the market.

You can't call a market a free market if its gatekeeped by a few major companies.

The group doesn't matter, again you're missing the point. As far as Android being a Linux distribution? The Linux Foundation doesn't agree with you. Google adds a layer to Android for its purposes, but Android is quite usable without that layer.

Cool profession, I know many just like you. Sure, Android runs on Linux kernel, just like 60-80% of everything else, from servers to printer machines

You know what I meant, the userland. Calling Android a Linux distro is a stretch and you know it.

You're not seeing the forest because of the trees. VW does not have to design a vehicle that will accept a Toyota steering wheel. VW will not sell you a new VW with a non VW steering wheel.

2. The right to bear arms is a universal, inalienable right every country in the world should give it's citizens.

3. That's your impression of me. I've seen instances where citizens in the UK and Germany have been punished for certain statements online.

Ultimately, this world is just fucked up. But, I do wonder what part the EU plays in adopting central bank roles related to fascism and propaganda?

The segment doesn't need to be comparable for the point to be accurate. I have a significant expertise in machine learning and software development. Android is a Linux distribution by the way.
