You are absolutely correct, you got both of them right!

I was disappointed they didn’t actually restrict the app for router devices.

After 3 years of using MacOS as a main OS, I am more than convinced it was indeed the intention.

Embrace freedom, change the habits, eat the rich!! /s

They actually did for some people a couple of months ago.

Which is why I prefer NixOS (I use NixOS btw)

Definitely try it, using NixOS after the “horrors” of Arch feels much more secure. Your system is basically unbreakable, not unintentionally, at least.

NixOS user spotted!

AFAIK, you can flash a de-googled version of Android TV on some devices, look up LineageOS’ website.

This might be what you are looking for.

Some dogs love cats too!

There are conditions and individual situations where the meds are crucial, but yes, I agree, the “genocide” thing was surely overblown.

And still, I can’t imagine people willing to reelect him over Biden, there is just no way…

And what do you get with Trump? Internal genocide? Once they start enforcing their anti-LGBTQ legislations you will very much be able to call it a genocide.

All I can recommend is to delete all the fingerprints and just use the PIN at this point.

It should be the same fingerprint reader across the whole lineup, so I dont know what’s happened to yours. Mine works fine, not as fast as some ultrasonic counterparts, but I have no issue with that coming from iPhone Xs.

I get it, I have a similar situation, except since I came back to Android I have been nothing but happy.

I used to be into running custom stuff on Android before my switch to an iPhone. And I, too, have found it frustrating to be forced to respect Apple’s rules.

Now, however, I have a Pixel 7 and it’s been a perfect experience so far. Running the stock OS non-rooted, it finally feels like my phone.

To put it simply, a “custom ROM” in this context means a modified version of Android. Many of these versions are based on AOSP (Android Open-Source Project), which is still maintained by Google, but is in fact open-source and doesn’t include Google services. Therefore, there is a possibility to use Android phones (given you have one with unlockable bootloader) without any Google apps or account.

Trust me, if you care about what’s happening to Google and YouTube right now, you won’t love what has been happening to Apple and it’s products for the last decade or so.

It shouldn’t have been a while

I meant to convey my thought in the context of the person above refusing to switch to Linux because of “re-buying stuff” (they’ve already clarified they were talking about games). I do agree that people of little technological literacy wouldn’t be willing to put in the work to get everything working.

My stance on it is that everything comes down to individual situations. I’ve installed Ubuntu on my mother’s laptop and she’s been nothing but happy about it. I just think we shouldn’t gatekeep FOSS and encourage others to use it. Whether to actually try it or not is always up to the end-user.
