| IsambardPrince | We earned $2,000 more this year than we did last year, and out of that $2,000, it managed to cause us to owe 3 times to the IRS what we paid in total for FY 2024. | Apr 16 00:08 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR: Long post for the blog maybe. | Apr 16 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | "Among the other problems with Firefox that Librewolf compiles out or disables, is all the AI crap. | Apr 16 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Like all the other junk in Firefox that's showed up primarily over the past six years or so, the AI crap can also be turned off with a "master" switch. | Apr 16 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Web browsers are generally abysmal lately. My Chromebook with was otherwise okay has been taken over with "AI" features I do not want. | Apr 16 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Windows 11's notepad.exe apparently moved "copy" and "paste" out of the way to make way for "AI" crap. | Apr 16 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | It's sad to see that useful features like Linux support (crostini) are being gradually sidelined or downgraded (baguette) to make way for garbage that absolutely nobody wanted. | Apr 16 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Google appears to be lagging on porting Crostini Guest Tools to Debian Trixie, so the VM is not as well-integrated with Baguette as it was. It has also made it even harder to enable real hardware graphics acceleration support by requiring the user to not only flip a toggle in Chrome Flags, but add their user account to the render and video groups and saying they won't fix it if it breaks, and also managing to break support for | Apr 16 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | launching graphical Linux applications from clicking on file types in Files, or without manually starting the VM. | Apr 16 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | They also killed Steam for Chromebooks. | Apr 16 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | The Chromebook is quickly returning to something that's essentially a brick without internet access and just runs a web browser, only now it's worse because of "AI" clutter that they want to trick you into using. | Apr 16 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | In one case, they deliberately broke GMail sorting things into "Promotions" folders because for some reason a feature that never required "AI" before needs it to be turned on. | Apr 16 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Corporate solution to the generation they've raised that's barely able to think is to just have some halfassed software do everything, including fake music on streaming apps. | Apr 16 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | But it's even more depressing because even Linus Torvalds has been given his marching orders, and now not only is Rust in the Linux kernel, requiring a mess of compilers to build the stupid thing, but apparently it's okay to paste AI slop into the kernel and sign off saying you wrote it. | Apr 16 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Allegedly there will be consequences if it screws something up, but that remains to be seen." | Apr 16 02:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Ooops, typo. with should be which. | Apr 16 02:23 |
| MinceR | i loved it when i pressed ctrl+b in brave without realizing that it doesn't work the way i want it to in a browser, so it brought up the LLM in a sidebar, and by the time i managed to get it to close the sidebar again, the whole browser crashed | Apr 16 02:24 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: If Pale Moon didn't have much else going for it, the compile process is still very simple. | Apr 16 02:24 |
| MinceR | later it crashed when i tried to save a web page to disk | Apr 16 02:24 |
| IsambardPrince | They're adding web standards support to the engine, but it still has major problems rendering many websites. | Apr 16 02:24 |
| IsambardPrince | It's not completely dead like SeaMonkey seems to be. | Apr 16 02:25 |
| MinceR | while firecocks eats RAM with the big spoon | Apr 16 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | SeaMonkey says they're aware that most websites no longer work right, and they say that the code to deal with some of that is on a "development branch". | Apr 16 02:25 |
| MinceR | now every embeddable map decided they just gotta have fucking WebGL, which is a security mess | Apr 16 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | I wonder if this is the branch 2.57 that never gets released or backported into 2.53.x | Apr 16 02:25 |
| MinceR | so i guess i'll need a separate PC with a live system to use those maps on | Apr 16 02:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Most of the patches seem to be cherry picks to fix very minor issues when the browser itself is still essentially useless. | Apr 16 02:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Or related to ChatZilla. | Apr 16 02:26 |
| admfubar | whooda thunk? ... https://www.darkreading.com/cyber-risk/audit-big-tech-ignores-data-collection-requests | Apr 16 02:26 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR: SeaMonkey passed on collaborating with Pale Moon and sharing a rendering engine years ago. | Apr 16 02:29 |
| MinceR | :> | Apr 16 02:30 |
| IsambardPrince | So the two codebases have separated, and out of the two, Pale Moon's is less horrific and more capable. | Apr 16 02:30 |
| MinceR | too bad fail moon blocks extensions manchild doesn't like | Apr 16 02:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, the old version of NoScript. | Apr 16 02:30 |
| IsambardPrince | He complained that it broke his startup page which he has monetized. | Apr 16 02:30 |
| MinceR | and something that automatically clicks on some ads or something | Apr 16 02:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Then they said that NoScript manages to fuck the browser profile, even after you uninstall it. | Apr 16 02:31 |
| IsambardPrince | But not explaining exactly how this occurs, of course. | Apr 16 02:31 |
| MinceR | i see they still haven't removed the relevant lie ("Your Browser, Your Way") from their website | Apr 16 02:31 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-forum.palemoon.org | Making sure you're not a bot! | Apr 16 02:32 | |
| MinceR | they also have a cancerous attitude, which is why failmoon is not in openbsd ports or alienbob's repository | Apr 16 02:33 |
| IsambardPrince | You can recompile it but you have to call it something else and remove their logo. | Apr 16 02:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Which is the same deal you get with Firefox, btw. | Apr 16 02:34 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm not sure why the Firefox logo and branding is "valuable". | Apr 16 02:35 |
| MinceR | it isn't | Apr 16 02:35 |
| MinceR | mozilla made sure of that | Apr 16 02:35 |
| MinceR | they've done many things to make sure their browser is as bad as possible | Apr 16 02:35 |
| IsambardPrince | It tells people that there will be at leat 100 antifeatures and pieces of malware they have to turn off, one by one, when it's easier to install Librewolf and just enable Firefox Sync and persistent History/Cookies if they want this behavior. | Apr 16 02:36 |
| MinceR | failmoon wanted the openbsd port to use separate copies of dependencies, which is insane | Apr 16 02:36 |
| IsambardPrince | Then Mozilla created an apt repo even though there's already an Ubuntu PPA that's better integrated with Ubuntu. | Apr 16 02:36 |
| Sompi | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12YONf1Wl0I another law proposal from people who probably think that writing your own operating system is "illegal hacking"... | Apr 16 02:42 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights- ( status 418 @ https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=12YONf1Wl0I ) | Apr 16 02:42 | |
| MinceR | ironically, one of the things mozilla did to make the firecocks brand less valuable was to make it nonfree with their idiotic trademark policy | Apr 16 02:42 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I still have h264ify installed in my Firefox browsers. | Apr 16 02:43 |
| IsambardPrince | This laptop has no hardware acceleration for VPx or WebM. | Apr 16 02:43 |
| MinceR | i see there's bipartisan support for this age verification idiocy in nazi america now | Apr 16 02:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Or AV1. | Apr 16 02:43 |
| Sompi | Most Finnish public sector and banking websites don't work anymore on SeaMonkey, PaleMoon or even Webkit. The situation is completely ridiculous and somehow people don't even take anyone seriously who says something about it | Apr 16 02:44 |
| Sompi | I tried to use Konqueror as my daily browser but it is just about as useless as SeaMonkey or PaleMoon | Apr 16 02:44 |

| Sompi | serial ports are one of the basic ways of moving bits in and out from a computer, but I don't see why a web browser should have a serial port API... | Apr 16 02:55 |
| MinceR | serial ports are rare on computers nowadays and i suspect most users aren't even aware of usb serial adapters, let alone possess one | Apr 16 02:58 |
| Sompi | Serial ports are rare on shitty consumer-grade computers because stupid people think that they are "obsolete" | Apr 16 02:59 |
| MinceR | :> | Apr 16 02:59 |
| Sompi | Obviously serial communication will never be obsolete, for reasons which are clear to anyone who actually understands what they are doing | Apr 16 03:01 |

| IsambardPrince | "Form 4473 from the ATF also contains a lot of questions that are difficult to answer for many people because they take a specific part of the law, and make it unclear what that question means, but you are answering it with the possibility of up to 10 years in federal prison. | Apr 16 03:04 |
| IsambardPrince | These questions ask things like are you addicted to marijuana, but ignores state laws that legalize marijuana, which violates states' rights (federalism), and even worse, there's no definition in federal law as to what "addicted to marijuana" means. If you use it once a year or once in ten years, you're in as much danger as a person who uses it every day, because the case can be made that any use of marijuana makes you an addict to | Apr 16 03:04 |
| IsambardPrince | marijuana. | Apr 16 03:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Then it asks if you've ever been declared mentally incompetent or if you've been committed, but it doesn't mention that voluntary committal doesn't count and neither does "an observation period" that's a lot like forcible committal (observation might be the cops take you to a mental institution and you're there for a month, but you might not have been committed), so people who have had inpatient mental health care may not know how to | Apr 16 03:05 |
| IsambardPrince | answer even if it was an episodic thing that happened 40 years ago. | Apr 16 03:05 |
| IsambardPrince | The Obama Administration tried to make "declared incompetent" mean "Anyone who has applied for Social Security Disability on the basis of mental illness.", even though Social Security isn't a court of law. For his credit, Trump did sign a Congressional Resolution of Disapproval, so we don't have to worry about that coming back. | Apr 16 03:05 |
| IsambardPrince | It also asks if you've ever renounced your citizenship. If you have, you don't get to purchase a firearm even if you later came back, applied for citizenship, and got approved. | Apr 16 03:05 |
| IsambardPrince | So this question revokes a constitutional right from a person who did nothing wrong and is a citizen in good standing! | Apr 16 03:05 |
| IsambardPrince | Form 4473 is one of the most dangerous forms you can fill out, and yet you have to fill one out every time you transact with a Federally Licensed Firearms Dealer." | Apr 16 03:05 |

| IsambardPrince | JD vance decided this week that the best use of his time as Vice President was to stand in a practically empty arena, tickets free and nobody bothering to show up, and publicly tell the Pope to brush up on his theology. Speaking at a Turning Point USA event in Athens, Georgia, vance lectured Pope Leo XIV, a man who holds a doctorate in theology, that he needs to "be careful when he talks about matters of theology." This is the same | Apr 16 03:11 |
| IsambardPrince | vance who only converted to Catholicism in 2019, calls himself a "baby Catholic," and just announced a memoir about his faith journey featuring a stock photo of a Methodist church on the cover he has no connection to. | Apr 16 03:11 |
| IsambardPrince | So picture this: vance standing in the Akins Ford Arena, an 8,000 seat venue, tickets completely free, event heavily promoted by Turning Point USA, delivering his papal theology lecture to roughly a quarter of a filled house, with cameras carefully avoiding the vast stretches of empty seats behind him. Nobody showed up. Not even for free. And yet there he was, in front of a room that was more empty than full, confidently explaining to | Apr 16 03:11 |
| IsambardPrince | one of the most credentialed theologians on earth that he needs to be more careful about theology. It bears repeating that this is not even his first papal rebuke. He has now been personally corrected by two sitting popes, both Francis and Leo XIV, over his use of the faith to justify the administration's immigration crackdowns and its posture toward war. The National Catholic Reporter called his Catholicism "little more than a | Apr 16 03:11 |
| IsambardPrince | political prop." | Apr 16 03:11 |
| IsambardPrince | Then, right there in that half empty arena, a voice cut through the room and shouted that Jesus does not support genocide. vance tried to pivot: "I agree, Jesus Christ certainly does not support genocide." Then came the follow up: "You're killing children! You're bombing children!" No spin fixes that moment. A man who has been corrected on Catholic theology by two popes, cannot identify a Methodist church on the cover of his own book, | Apr 16 03:12 |
| IsambardPrince | and couldn't fill a free arena on a Tuesday, still felt qualified to lecture the head of the entire Catholic Church. Rough day. | Apr 16 03:12 |

| MinceR | maybe they should look for a calling more suited to their abilities? | Apr 16 03:15 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: It's amazing that Vance could be so stupid that he even had a book ghostwritten about himself and couldn't bother to check to see what sort of church was on the cover. | Apr 16 03:17 |
| MinceR | is he even able to tell them apart? | Apr 16 03:18 |

| IsambardPrince | Bloatzilla has put more crap into FailFox, and it's AI Slop this time, with a master switch to turn it all off. You have to turn off more than 100 things now to make Firefox usable, and that counts as four because it's four toggles with a master switch. | Apr 16 05:09 |
| IsambardPrince | Five if you count the "AI" "decision engine" to delete from the search engines. | Apr 16 05:09 |
| IsambardPrince | I can't believe that they're managing to squander what little their name is still worth considering the hundreds or thousands of websites that nobody tests in Firefox anymore, which are somewhat to utterly broken, including Facebook video calls. | Apr 16 05:09 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't bother to fix their stinking browser, just weight it down with more garbage and ads as it becomes irrelevant. | Apr 16 05:09 |
| IsambardPrince | If Pale Moon has nothing else going for it, at least it skipped the "Quantum" phase. | Apr 16 05:09 |
| IsambardPrince | Did you know there's still one actively developed web browser that works on Windows 7? It's Pale Moon. And there's several that still work on XP, including Pale Moon derivatives. | Apr 16 05:09 |
| IsambardPrince | Can you move those old computers over to Linux? Yeah, and you should if you can, but not all of them can even run most Linux distros now that the "cool kids" have taken over and started demanding things like x86-64v3, which adds some useless Intel marketing instruction sets that have little real world value, and then make 10 years worth of computers obsolete. | Apr 16 05:09 |

| IsambardPrince | I call it Security Theater Boot because they're always plugging holes after the fact, endlessly. | Apr 16 05:20 |
| IsambardPrince | And even that doesn't really make much progress towards a locked down system. | Apr 16 05:20 |
| techrights-news | "I’m pondering about self hosting a small gopher hole on my raspberry pi.

| IsambardPrince | Because there's no rules in Microsoft's sticker program that say the OEM can't add their own certificates, and many of them do. | Apr 16 05:21 |
| IsambardPrince | And the programs that it allows to run are often exploitable because they're so poorly written and the OEM has no incentive to fix them. | Apr 16 05:21 |
| IsambardPrince | But it does more or less lock the user out, because distributions are not going to resort to looking for exploits to help the user install them, so the user is harmed with no real security being added to the system. | Apr 16 05:22 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR3]: You know, Indiana is lucky. | Apr 16 05:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Back in the 1960s, the Army would have come in and built a flood control reservoir if there was flooding like what's going on in Michigan and Wisconsin now. | Apr 16 05:25 |
| IsambardPrince | In fact, several recent years had so much rainfall that the flood control reservoirs the Army built in Indiana couldn't take on much more water and they're lucky that it stopped when it did. | Apr 16 05:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Now we have so many environmental stufies and the attitude in Washington is against spending a small amount on a flood control dam vs. repeatedly spending large amounts on FEMA after a disaster wipes away everything in an area. | Apr 16 05:27 |
| IsambardPrince | *studies | Apr 16 05:27 |
| IsambardPrince | I've seen things get pretty weird in Indiana with those reservoirs since 2012. | Apr 16 05:27 |
| IsambardPrince | In 2012, we had an extreme heat wave and drought. It got up over 100 degrees for 18 days in a row, it was horrible. | Apr 16 05:28 |
| IsambardPrince | And the reservoirs shrank to a small stream. | Apr 16 05:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Then in 2013 and I think 2015 there was so much rain that it almost went over the dam and the surrounding recreational areas got flooded out. | Apr 16 05:28 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR3]: I have been telling people who ask what to do about the end of support of Windows 10 to decline the update (look for some sneaky thing that says "opt out" or "not right now" that Microsoft hides somewhere and may not even look like a button. | Apr 16 18:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Then turn on the extra year of security updates. | Apr 16 18:43 |
| IsambardPrince | And use the time to back up important data, disable "Secure Boot" in the UEFI setup program, and pick a Linux distribution. | Apr 16 18:43 |
| IsambardPrince | In many cases it won't automatically install Windows 11 because Microsoft has put in fake compatibility checks. | Apr 16 18:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Millions of PCs are technically capable of running Windows 11, but unless the user intervenes and turns off the checks for TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, then it just won't work. | Apr 16 18:44 |
| IsambardPrince | But being able to run it does not mean that it will work very well. | Apr 16 18:44 |
| IsambardPrince | As an experiment, I bypassed the compatibility checks for my 2016 Lenovo with a Core i7-6560U, Iris 540 graphics, 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB NVME SSD. | Apr 16 18:45 |
| IsambardPrince | It was a very expensive laptop at the time and it runs Kubuntu 26.04 LTS perfectly fine. | Apr 16 18:45 |
| IsambardPrince | The only major limitation I hit is that I have to force YouTube to use h264 for hardware acceleration reasons because AV1 did not exist in 2016. | Apr 16 18:46 |
| IsambardPrince | When I ran Windows 11, the laptop was noticeably slower than Windows 10, even doing simple things like "launch a web browser and pull down a context menu". | Apr 16 18:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Instead of fixing performance problems and making the OS more efficient, Microsoft hid it and refused to say it needed a faster computer. | Apr 16 18:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Instead, they put in checks that had nothing to do with CPU speed. | Apr 16 18:47 |
| IsambardPrince | That way it ensures it does not end up running on something that handled Windows 10 okay and embarrassing them. | Apr 16 18:47 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR3]: I saw a graph the other day on Facebook (I know), that showed the value of $100,000 annual salary from the year 2000 onward, using government inflation figures. | Apr 16 19:05 |
| IsambardPrince | By 2020, it was worth $80,000 vs. 2000 purchasing power. That's a 20% loss, but it took 20 years, according to the government, so that's not horrific, right? | Apr 16 19:05 |
| IsambardPrince | But then between 2020 and 2025, it lost so much purchasing power, that it was only what $58,000 would have bought in 2000. | Apr 16 19:06 |
| IsambardPrince | It only took <5 years to lose about much purchasing power as the previous 20 years. | Apr 16 19:07 |
| IsambardPrince | It's in total free fall, and you see it everywhere you look. | Apr 16 19:07 |
| IsambardPrince | I mentioned that I just bought a very basic coffee maker from Walmart. | Apr 16 19:07 |
| IsambardPrince | It's the most basic 12 cup model they make, you can't even program it, there's no auto shutoff, you have to turn it off or it'll boil dry and just stay on. | Apr 16 19:08 |
| IsambardPrince | It's a very basic coffee maker. | Apr 16 19:08 |
| IsambardPrince | In 2014, my mother was buying these because her third husband, Dave, was just putting city tap water in and ruining coffee makers. The water is so hard where they live that it will ruin a coffee maker in about 4-5 months if ou aren't descaling it about every couple weeks. | Apr 16 19:09 |
| IsambardPrince | They had a water softener and it was still doing this. | Apr 16 19:09 |
| IsambardPrince | There was an in-line filter in the refrigerator, but he was too lazy to go over there and get water out of that for the coffee maker, so they just kept getting ruined. | Apr 16 19:09 |
| IsambardPrince | But this coffee maker was only $9.88. | Apr 16 19:09 |
| IsambardPrince | So my mom figured if Dave is going to ruin all the coffee makers, get one that's under $10. | Apr 16 19:10 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | good | Apr 16 19:10 |
| IsambardPrince | Then if he ruins it, there's no big deal. | Apr 16 19:10 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | i make a lot of coffee | Apr 16 19:10 |
| IsambardPrince | By 2021, this coffee maker was $12.98. | Apr 16 19:10 |
| IsambardPrince | When I bought one this week, it was $16.88. | Apr 16 19:10 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | ours worked for years | Apr 16 19:10 |
| IsambardPrince | Between 2021 and 2025, Walmart did not raise the price. | Apr 16 19:10 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | i think 2017 to present | Apr 16 19:10 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | heavy use since 2021 | Apr 16 19:11 |
| IsambardPrince | But after Trump's April tariffs, they raised the price $4 all at once. | Apr 16 19:11 |
| IsambardPrince | Which was a 25% price increase. | Apr 16 19:11 |
| IsambardPrince | And there are still people out there like my dad, who has three college degrees, and has to be seeing this shit, that says "China pays the tariffs." | Apr 16 19:11 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | we left 18% | Apr 16 19:31 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | not 15% | Apr 16 19:31 |
| IsambardPrince | The food costs more which means a 15% tip is still more than it was 5 years ago. | Apr 16 19:31 |
| IsambardPrince | That's how percentages work. | Apr 16 19:32 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | they also let you tip drivers | Apr 16 19:32 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | which is odd | Apr 16 19:32 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | not taxis | Apr 16 19:32 |
| *TechrightsBot-tr has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Apr 16 19:32 | |
| IsambardPrince | If it cost you $40 to eat out in 2020 and you left 15%, that's $6. If it costs $70 now that's $10.50. | Apr 16 19:32 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | this wayy they pay lower saalaries | Apr 16 19:32 |
| IsambardPrince | So food inflation increases the tip. | Apr 16 19:32 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | and say "pls tip, lol" | Apr 16 19:32 |
| IsambardPrince | You don't have to leave a higher percent. | Apr 16 19:32 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR3]: Then there's those tricky iPad things. | Apr 16 19:33 |
| IsambardPrince | They apply the tip AFTER taxes. | Apr 16 19:33 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | "ma pizza is cold" | Apr 16 19:33 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | "no tip" | Apr 16 19:33 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | pizza = young male | Apr 16 19:33 |
| IsambardPrince | So they try to trick people to add 15% of the 10% tax on restaurants. | Apr 16 19:33 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | tip= ask peter | Apr 16 19:33 |
| IsambardPrince | So the tax adds another $7 and 15% of that is $1.05. | Apr 16 19:34 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | we saw one place where they charged 19.90 for chicken kiev | Apr 16 19:34 |
| IsambardPrince | You get another $1.05 out of 100 tables that shift, the tip pool went up $105 that evening because you're tipping on a tax. | Apr 16 19:34 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | and all the other things were also priced like 3-4 higher than most places | Apr 16 19:35 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | one charged 29.90 for chicken kiev | Apr 16 19:35 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | for the "ambiance" | Apr 16 19:35 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR3]: I always cross those out and correct it and say "15% of the subtotal. I can do math." | Apr 16 19:35 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | don't take ipad to the table | Apr 16 19:36 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR3]: Google will be refusing to let users run programs on Android later this year, unless the developer creates a Google account, gives them government ID, and has Google sign the package. | Apr 16 22:54 |
| IsambardPrince | So there goes F-Droid. | Apr 16 22:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Most applications from F-Droid now have a library that warns about this and says the developer won't do that. | Apr 16 22:55 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR3]: I suppose one thing will come from age verification. | Apr 16 22:56 |
| IsambardPrince | It will get rid of the underage boys that get on Grindr and just tell it they're 18. | Apr 16 22:56 |
| IsambardPrince | So after "age verification" if anyone on Grindr tells you they're under 18, 100% chance it's the police. :P | Apr 16 22:56 |

| MinceR | even grapheneos runs on pixel | Apr 16 22:59 |

| IsambardPrince | Long term I guess I just need to buy a phone that does't have Android from the beginning. | Apr 16 23:02 |
| MinceR | i think fairphone offers phones that have /e/OS preinstalled | Apr 16 23:03 |
| MinceR | so does murena | Apr 16 23:03 |
| MinceR | i got a fairphone 5 with android and installed /e/OS myself, but if i wanted /e/OS on my insecure phone (to run banking bullshit apps), i'd buy one that has it preinstalled | Apr 16 23:04 |
