Sunshine (she/her)YouTube has started age restricting Balatro videos for alleged gambling-related content, and creator LocalThunk is clearly getting sick of this sort of thing <a href="https://lemmy.ca/post/41884063" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://lemmy.ca/post/41884063</a>

Lisa KalayjiLol I got a cheap Android to house the apps that my employer forces me to use (I'm not putting them on my real phone, obviously), and after powering on the device for the first time and spending like an hour stripping all the permissions, Google won't let me turn it off without signing into a Google account. The power button just brings up a sign-in screen - you can back out of it, but there's no way to turn the phone off.Interacting with Google makes me feel the same way interacting with abusive family members and partners has. What fucking creepy, coercively controlling stalkers Googlers are.I love GrapheneOS so much 💖<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DeGoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeGoogle</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GrapheneOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GrapheneOS</a>
