I saw an article that said it was a 3 minute read then offered an AI summary, and I believe it may be included in an eventual epitaph for civilization.

It's important for devices to have internet connectivity so the manufacturer can patch remote exploits.
Nextcloud provides an open-source collaboration platform called Nextcloud Hub, which includes file-sharing and syncing features. The company has written a blog post explaining that Google has revoked a critical permission from the Nextcloud Files app for Android that allows it to sync files to Nextcloud Hub.
Google is stating security concerns as a reason for revoking the permission. This is hard to believe for us. Nextcloud has had this feature since its inception in 2016, and we have never heard about any security concerns from Google about it. Moreover, several Big Tech apps as well as Google's own still have this. What we think: Google owning the platform means they can and are giving themselves preferential treatment.
Despite multiple appeals since mid-2024, Google has refused to reinstate the permission, blocking automated Nextcloud file uploads for millions of users.
The Nextcloud app available via F-Droid does not have this limitation, but the post notes that that is not an option for many users.

Incorrect analogy – More like;
1) You want a pizza made from another region.
2) However, you must sell them some your ingredients before it can be made.
3) They charge a “tariff” to protect the income of their local farmer’s for other ingredients. You’re willing to pay the “tariff” because you like your ingredients better.
4) The pizza maker sells you the final pizza with a standard sales tax but no tariff
5) You paid the higher price and they made money from the tariff.
Trump is charging tariffs to increase the costs from other regions for several reasons. A) To negotiate down tariffs from other regions. B) Lower tariffs mean you pay a lower cost for your special pizza. C) To whittle down our regions deficit. D) and/or To increase local “ingredients” growth at lower cost for you.

Explains with stick figures, XKCD goes to the heart of the matter of tariffs and STILL manages to make a joke!
The line break after "The President is mad" is absolutely perfect and frankly the sentence could have ended there just fine.
