  • Glance works to deliver recommendations to users like ads, news articles, and more on the lock screen.

    How do I block it?

    Glance will side with offering a subscription service where users can pay for “premium news” on their lock screens every month.

    Oh, so just don’t pay for it, right?

    Fortunately, you can disable Glance on the phone, but we found that the service would occasionally produce a full-screen prompt on the lock screen, encouraging you to re-enable the feature.

    Oh, so more bloat using resources even when disabled.

    Glance will seek to make a profit through the aforementioned subscription and if users interact with its “product of the day.”

    Its literally just a venture to capture and advertise on every visible space possible.

    It looks like I’ll be spending 2025 onward with Linux and a flip phone.




  • So much minecraft and kerbal space program. They were two of the very few games that ran naively and had cracked Linux files available on public trackers. I had to put a minimum of 1000 hours of minecraft using the clit mouse that old Dell laptops used to have. I hate that they got rid of those and now the only modern laptops with the clit mouse are Lenovos which I hate. Lenovo ruined ThinkPads.




  • I used to pick up spam calls and go along for as long as I could. For at least 5 years now my number has been blacklisted in India, I’ve never gotten a single Indian spam call since. I used to get a car warranty call every few months but I’m pretty sure they black listed me as well. I got pretty deep into the hierarchy getting names, payment details, anything. But the car they called me about doesn’t exist.
