Hey, did y'all see this?

I saw this when running newpipe. But wait, it gets deeper. I clicked on the details buttons and it said as of today, we have 83 days left until Google rolls out this new requirement for apps inside and outside of the google play store. If any developer disagrees with their new terms and fees, they will be blocked!

I'll share some of the info below:

Looks like they're trying to nuke the remaining privacy and freedoms we have left on the internet.

What to do?

-Get your developer friends to not comply to their new guides

- Sign the open letter on the site and take action by checking out the full resources list on their website as well!

To summarize, this is all daunting especially when you feel all alone with unfair and inhumane regulations comming out faster than improvements but we got this working together!

Share the link with your friends, family and anyone who will listen!

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

Fuck ever news outlet for naming the murderer and blasting his face all over the internet, but the trans woman he murdered is never shown and only referred to as "transgender woman."

Her name was Juniper Blessing, and she was just doing her laundry.

[sharkbait-33]

was absolutely NOT expecting ryland to drop an f bomb holy shit dude. 'holy fucking shit!' cuz he sees an alien spaceship. like ! reasonable reaction ! but not one i expected from him ! im absolutely delighted though

[sharkbait-33]

ok yeah that post i saw about ryland being stratt's emotional and moral pillar is so fucking true im kinda dead over it

[sharkbait-33]

oh okay. so now i'm thinking about how all of ryland's studenrs have graduated by the time he wakes up from his coma. great. thanks andy weird. that's totally something i needed to think about. about how those kids went thirteen years wondering whats happening to their favorite fun science teacher who taught them things other teachers wouldn't. wondering why he disappeared. why he didnt say goodbye. and then the smarter of them probably wondering if hes okay, because they know hes part of the astrophage research (because theyre smart and have internet access) and probably come to the conclusion hes MAJORLY involved and he might be in space, and i imagine some of them probably hope he doesnt die or that if he does die then he dies peacefully and painlessly. yeah im now thinking about a young adult student in college having a flashback to one of their classes with mr. grace and the way he talked about science and how it was a huge inspiration for them and that they wish they knew what happened to him. ALL WHILE HES ASLEEP. HES ASLEEP.

anyway im not crying or anything. because time dilation and relativity is fucking stupid and causes horrible heartaches like that. totally not thinking about that right now.

[sharkbait-33]

AND IT GOES THE OTHER WAY TOO

GRACE HAS TO WONDER IF HIS KIDS SURVIVED !!! HE HAS TO WONDER IF THEY MADE IT TO GRADUATION OR IF THE ASTROPHAGE PROBLEM CAUSED MAJOR ISSUES IN THE TIME HES BEEN GONE !!! HES CRYING BECAUSE HE DOESNT KNOW !!!! AND HE WONT KNOW !!!!! FUCK ME DUDE

yeah im already broken up over this and its only chapter six god help me in reading the rest of the book

I think it would be funny if most of Grace's eridian students went to him and asked for earth pronoun designations instead of picking for themselves, because they think it's cool to get word-gifts from the coolest teacher in the galaxy

and grace is trying so hard to not accidentally be sexist or assign gender roles to a monogendered species, so like, trying hard not to call someone he/him just because they like sports, or she/her just because they seem caring, or whatever. and he's having a hard time about it because he's like oh man why am I assigning the pronouns I'm assigning, i hope I'm not bringing any of my biases into this. just absolutely eating himself up over it

he tries to fix this by starting to roll a die, or throw darts at a dartboard, but his students immediately throw a fit because the point of the word-gifts is that they are specific, picked deliberately for them, right? and grace tries to explain gender bias and so on, but it becomes clear these kids could genuinely not give less of a shit, they just want to know what their AGAG (assigned gender at grace) is, alright? why is this so hard for him to understand??

eventually grace comes to the conclusion that he's on a different planet, and severely overthinking this, and that his kids really just are having fun--they really don't see the grace-given pronouns as categorization, he figures they see them as something more akin to astrology. or an eridian tiktok trend. when grace learns they call the assigning a word-gift he probably cries tbh

"teacher grace!!! what my pronoun question???"

"hmm. getting big they/them vibes off you"

"HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY. THANK"

finished chapter 5. honestly i liked the movie scene more lmfaoo but reading ryland nerding out was also very cute. god hes so cute. FUUUCK hes such a cutie nerd.

[sharkbait-33]

yes im watching a bajillion ryan gosling interviews and im cackling at ryan using the '-curious' suffix in like. 'hes cgi-curious' about rocky being a mostly practical effects puppet. hes so funny dude. its like he heard the 'blank-curious' thing and it infested his brain. vocal stim. etc. hes so goofy i actually love him where have i been

[sharkbait-33]

does anyone think about carl..... anyone else think about how carl thinks about ryland....... especially after he's sent into space..... im thinking about it. i dont think carl feels guilty. i think he feels apprehension about it. would ryland forgive them for the necessities that feel cruel. cuz i know ryland forgives them but carl doesn't know that.

[sharkbait-33]

ok continuing the book and im DYING at this dialogue i fucking LOVE ryland

"Tell you what"—I pointed back to the microscope—"I'm going to get back to work now. I'll tell you anything I work out when I work it out. Until then, you can all enjoy some quiet study time."

I LITERRAAALLYYY LOVE HIM. SASSY BITCH I LOOOVE HIM I LOVE HIM SO MUCH WUAJSFJGH

[sharkbait-33]

i was thinking abt what the equivalent of 'color' would be for eridians, in the sense of how their sight works, and i think texture would be the closest. because for us, colors can indicate a lot, from temperature to texture to sound, but since eridians cant see lightwaves the very closest thing i can think of to what we consider color would be texture for them, because texture for them is indicative of a lot. all this to say the idea of grace trying to explain colors to rocky and rocky going 'ah yes. smooth color.' and grace like !?! no but maybe ? and having a small crisis over what textures he relates to what colors or what textures he can apply to what colors both in an autism way (handwave) and also a trying to help rocky understand way
