Modder, programmer, and all around tinkerer. Yes, I’m that New Vegas and Deus Ex guy.
You can also find me over at lemmy.sdf.org under the same username. Also kbin.social if it ever comes back from the dead.
Yeah, fair. That’s how I feel about most of my devices. If I don’t have root access at a minimum I don’t feel comfortable.
Even for the units you can’t install a CFW on though you can still get in via ADB and exercise a lot of control. You can’t run apps as root but you can disable and purge any of the even remotely undesirable apps and block any of the paths used for forced updates and the like.
Android TV boxes are the way to go IMO. Lots of replacement launchers and ways to remove all the baked-in ads and the like, even if you can’t root the device.
If you’re stateside, Walmart’s ONN brand devices are the absolute best bang for your buck you can find. They’re not locked down, so you’re able to get into the proper Android system menu and disable apps and so on (including telemetry). You can even activate ADB and tinker that way, though you don’t need to if you just want to install a more simple (read: ad-free) home screen and turn off all the tracking garbage.
The fact that Mbin doesn’t even get a mention in this question tells me a lot. T_T
Anyway, the overall activity level seems to have dropped off a bit since the initial burst during the Reddit API debacle. Activity seems to be clustered around a handful of large instances. Within that though it’s solid and steady.
Sex work is still legal in the UK.
This is like the government banning “topless nudity” and waking up to find a site has deleted any pictures showing exposed shoulders.
This. They just gradually morphed from Teabaggers into MAGA. It’s the same people.
Ballots are destroyed immediately after they’re counted.
Well that’s not suspicious or prone to encouraging nefarious actions at all.
Mail-in ballots that were postmarked by Election Day, per state law.
With the margins this close they might actually change the vote. The delay is reasonable. Frustrating, but reasonable.
That’s maybe 10% more than my current rig.
In other words I’m so ready.
If the bubble pops hard enough, the prices of those servers will drop so low they’ll become consumer electronics. Oh that RAM won’t fit in my desktop? Screw it, I’ll figure out how to put Linux on that rackmount.
(Wait, this this thing will only run FreeBSD? Eh close enough)
I’d say Iran’s leaders are correct.
How fucked are we that Iran is the sane and reasonable one in this conflict?
We’re a schizophrenic in a period of lucidity. That doesn’t mean you should trust us around the sharp objects.
Thank you for quickly establishing that you have zero inkling of what the general public actually wants, Mr. Jeffries.
It’s worth noting that Trump has claimed to have authority over a lot of things that were previously considered under the control of the Senate and Congress, or at least something that they had a say in. However, the current Senate and Congress for some reason have not stepped in to tell Trump that he doesn’t have full/any authority over those things. That will almost certainly change when the new batch of legislators is sworn in, so there will be at least some additional restrictions on Trump in the sense that some of the restrictions he should have already been subject to will finally be applied.
It’s basically all of those things, but also that a newer technology doesn’t necessarily mean the older technology has no use. People still use bicycles even though cars and motorcycles exist. People still read books even though audiobooks and TV shows exist. The number of people doing those things may have gone down, but they have a specific use case and need that the “better” technology doesn’t satisfy.
On the other side, there are technologies that get entirely replaced by the successor. because it’s just flatly better even in the same scenarios. 8-Tracks being made completely irrelevant by Cassettes, for example.
I’m sure every app and mod that insists on keeping all their setup and support information on Discord will immediately opt out of this.
Yeah, I don’t think you’re gonna get any answers OP until you give specific examples of these opinions that you were banned for.
This isn’t a meme, this is just a snapshot of a bad relationship.
The one on Jamaica Avenue?
Plenty of other great launchers mentioned (Projectivy is damn good) but I thought I’d put in a vote for FLauncher. It’s blood simple: here’s a screen listing your apps. THE END.
You can change the background wallpaper, make different sections for different apps, hide/show specific apps and sort them as you will, but that is it. Perfect if you only plan to go back to the home menu when you’re switching between apps (like me).
