How many Macaronis in a Handy though? I'd say 1776.

.... I'll see myself out.

I see. Sort of like what the Republicans/fascists are doing with, well, everything.

It was requested by the secret service as a countermeasure for counterfitting. More frequently it's been used to "catch other criminals", at least that's what they say.

I totally agree. My thinking is that the most that I can do about this to fix this right now is to tell you how. It ain't much but it's honest work.

That's weird then, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. It'd have to be connected to the carrier for it to be used. Maybe root the device and delete it? Alternatively, you could remove it with ADB terminal. Are you familiar with those at all?

Weird, I have project fi and don't have this app. It could be contractually required by your service provider that the app be installed on all the phones that they sell. That's a thing that they do.

Who is the carrier?

I've since tried it on a Bliss FOSS image. Still not able to get apps working.

This is how you radicalize a populace. Fuckin stupid move.

This reminds me of a recent news story where the government is unable to handle all of the new fraud claims that are originating out of Meta's services. Coincidentally (read suspiciously) the increase in fraud claims began at the same time as the layoffs.

I think it was the New York attorney general that said directly “We refuse to operate as the customer service representatives of your company,” or something to that effect. [Sauce]

Companies really love foisting the responsibility that they rightfully own onto the government in this case I would say it's the car manufacturers. They certainly have plenty of practice doing it
