early boot stages?

this will affect 300 people heavily, and the other 99 % will just create an account then lol

i kept using it for the few mildly high quality posts by queer people, but it feels like it almost stopped. might delete my account now

Gestures don’t work with them too nicely. Also the recents screen is still from the built-in launcher, unless with root access of course

maybe because a huge fraction of users wouldn’t understand more advanced tutorials, or it’d be just too much effort

idk tbh, SafetyNet / Play Integrity have existed for a while

Kinda makes sense. A paid app on Google Play is a license to download the .apk file(s). Then a user could make copies, and without DRM, it’d be the same situation as with copyrighted movies and whatnot.

I’m not saying I support them, it’s just that they are like this for a reason

Maybe everyone was just OK with mobile devices being locked down heavily from the start, and now it’s more or less the same level for most

no, for cross-language interoperability. ok I just noticed that this breaks other calendar systems but well

every date MUST be in RFC 3339 format. e.g. 2024-09-08, with optionally the time: 21:41:24+02:00

and hell no not ISO 8601 cause then people would use stuff like 2024W154

Is the bootloader unlocking requirement that FRP is not triggered a hard one or just because the settings screen isn’t (or shouldn’t) be reachable? Now that OEM unlocking and FRP aren’t tied together anymore, it doesn’t seem like a hard one

This could still be bypassed by flashing a new OS that deliberately messes up the userdata wipe-persisting secrets. Well idk if there’s a way to prevent that, but I guess really needy and tech-savvy people could recover lost devices that way

Looks like they “just” have to stop signing in with a Google account, and may have to enable adb and install apps using it / e.g. Shizuku

I’m not old, I just like how short the command is

jokes on you one of my not so much into linux friends had it and his setup kept breaking, now he’s about to install fedora

non-reply reply lol

niggardly

i like disabling apps I rarely use but still need from time to time, like Spotify

sd-boot or directly booting EFI stubs rocks

didn’t family guy cover this lol
