ADB tools —> remove google services and other spyware apps —> oops, you bricked your phone

I’ve gone 3 years without ordering a single thing from amazon. I never intend to give them anymore money.

This still won’t make me pay for Netflix

AI becoming much more widespread isn’t because it’s actually that interesting. It’s all manufactured. Forcibly shoved into our faces. And for the negative things AI is capable of, I have an uneasy feeling about all this.

Do Orbic devices* run anything aside from stock android?

And that’s their choice to. But some people are sick of planned obsolescence and wish to use their phones for as long as the hardware doesn’t give.

This is what makes me excited for Linux phones to finally become viable. Every major phone manufacturer is making their UX worse and expanding their hidden spyware for the sake of profits.

Graphene os is great but you can only install it on a Pixel. But they give extended support for older devices which is nice. HOWEVER, people are making Linux builds for even older devices, including the iphone 6. Getting a new phone after 7 years might not be necessary in the future.

AI. Rich people trying to change the law to get richer via shady means is a huge no from me every time.

Good, I think it should be killed.

While I am unmoved, I agree that apple has been acting greedy as per usual in this situation

Switching to Linux is the gift that keeps on giving

AI accomplishing something useful for once?!

Yet another reason not to use that awful app.

Day 11 of wondering why people don’t just use cases and screen protectors on their phones

Mars is an uninhabitable hellscape that I sincerely hope Musk and his billionaire friends colonize so that they all become one with Martian soil

I mean, you’re likely right and I probably didn’t give it a good enough shot. I just haven’t had the smoothest experience with it. It took me twice as long to make an ugly Resume on libre than the time it took for me to make a decent one on “free” word

I’ve used Libre Office, but unpopular opinion, the formatting sucks. I just pirated word, never paying for that again

Great opportunity to mention Brave is owned by a dipshit right-wing homophobe.

At the moment I just have an old laptop and connect it to my TV via hdmi and installed Parsec on both devices. It’s a nice, free method.

In the future though I do want to look into getting a mini PC and doing essentially the same thing except it could be an individual device for the most part.

I only ever tried using a Roku so I could stream my PC to my smart TV, but it turns out there’s MASSIVE latency. Of course I returned it. If I had to deal with that AND ADS, I would have set that shit on fire
