Bloo (they/them)

Yeah, i just run a very heavily modified android now. Hard to find good phones (with features that i want and need) with enough software support. Couldn’t get lineage os working on my zenfone, it was a horribly buggy experience and I couldn’t get mobile networks working. I needed more reliability and stability, so i manually debloated and stripped almost all telemetry. Rooted this thing and blocked anything that isn’t whitelisted.

Not OP, but when i was running custom ROMs on my main device I carried 2 devices, i had my main phone in my pocket and my secondary in my purse. The secondary ran “Android” so i could use tap pay and the like.

Not sure if trolling or genuinely curious, but it’s Debian.

I’ll do ya one better, the Simon Tatham’s puzzle collection. http://chris.boyle.name/projects/android-puzzles/

Not with that Amtrak station in Chicago giving direct access to the state.

I seriously hope you mean this as a joke.

Hottest temp I’ve ever been in was over 50. it was painful just walking outside.

Use after free is a form of programming vulnerability.

Still more than some of the covid era driver exams had… (Cousin in a small town spent less than 15 mins with the proctor)

Another thing worth mentioning if you are trying to do an offline install, some apps have a license verification check that won’t let you run the app unless the account on the device has a valid license for it.

There’s a few apps out there that can copy the apk, however it won’t copy user data, so unless the app you’re backing up has a way to export/import (or if you have root access) you will only be able to copy the app itself. If that is what you need, Link2SD has been quite reliable for me for about a decade for managing and backing up apps so i recommend it.

I do quite appreciate the updates stardew had gotten to improve longevity (esp for modding)

Either AI or AI upscaling gone horribly.

Freeze the Samsung keyboard app is the route i would take

IMEI’s can be changed. (Which is highly illegal in many jurisdictions) It’s not really worth the effort, I use it for when i need a new phone number for something and don’t want it immediately tied to me commercially. If hiding from the authorities, don’t use unencrypted comms.

I keep one on my key ring, never know when you need to pop in a burner sim.

My dad had a Knoppix boot CD in a case with all the games, of course I messed with it as a curious child, I have no idea how old I was, but it was my first foray into the wonderful world of not Windows.

Did the latter hoping for the former </3

Similar to how certain mods like RSV and the like behave?

I learned my lesson the hard way too. After suffering, I bought the cheapest washer and dryer at the local appliance store, it has an end of cycle alarm that was a simple unplug in the back panel.
