Cuba is now enduring the worst rolling blackouts in a decades due to no fuel (Oil) and diesel.

Minister Vicente de la O Levy openly stated: "Cuba is open to anyone that wants to sell us fuel," as rolling power blackouts increase.

Across Havana residents start protesting against the government by shouting: “Turn on the lights!" and then banging pots and pans and setting fire to piles of rubbish to express their misery in the face of blackouts, which can last for 24 hours or so.

The crisis has led to rare street protests, major disruptions, and travel warnings from several countries.

Mutahar (SomeOrdinaryGamers) criticizes a recent Google update.

It forces users to have Google Mobile Services (GMS/Google Play Services) installed and active on their Android device for 'smoother/required verification' challenges on websites or services.

This will affect people to start using de-Googled or custom Android ROMs (like GrapheneOS), which intentionally avoid Google’s proprietary services for privacy reasons.

Without Play Services, users may face more friction or failed verifications or be forced to use workarounds (like scanning a QR code with a different device that does have Google services).

Privacy is for a reason: to keep your life out of company and government business and never collect their data.

Google’s original corporate motto: Don't be Evil.

Well, Google is being Evil.
