Plain AOSP is already pretty brutal. An alternate OS is practically a non-starter. Phones aren't just web browsers and SMS.

  • Tap-to-pay
    • Including transit fares
  • Bank apps
  • RCS messaging
  • MFA and security apps
  • Work profiles
  • Streaming media that's not 480p

Not to mention that the camera is going to suuuuuuuuck.

Forking or improving AOSP is more viable but none of the more mainstream ROMs want to piss off Google. That's why most LineageOS forums forbid talking about defeating Play Integrity.

I believe F-Droid signs the packages it distributes so that creates a painful choke point. Revoke F-Droid's key and it will break all of F-Droid instantaneously. The only exception for F-Droid's signing is if the build is reproducible, which is a high bar for a lot of projects, and then F-Droid will use the upstream signature.

Also, they're trying to close the ADB loophole.

trunk was the common name before git anyway. Why the move away? I've heard it's because git is more of a weird graph than the trunk+branch model of CVS. But if that's the reasoning, master is still a stupid name because it implies the same primacy as trunk. Why not just default or start or something?

It's awesome until you want to put the cursor in a specific spot of a previous command.

$ rm -f delete-me.txt
ctrl-r "me", ctrl-b, ctrl-k
$ rm -f delete

But I still use fzf because while I used to do the above, fzf offered more advantage that made switching worth it.

Obviously the first step is an equal doxxing site targeting Truth Social, etc.

Pretty soon all that will be left are the apathetic centrists.

The insane MAGA cult is Trump; they're inseparable. After he dies, Trump's gonna be pickled and put on display like Lenin on the National Mall. They can't let him go.

Wouldn't it be nice if MAGA followed the same rules? Wouldn't it be nice if everyone acted like civilized human beings? Let me know when that happens.

What I would wish for right now is for my state to not speak for me. I do not want my state's flag lowered for someone who promoted hate and violence. I will not celebrate his death, that's kinda sick, but I will definitely not celebrate his life either.

If you think this is actually about antisemitism, you're crazy. It's about attacking and weakening left leaning universities, which are seen as a real threat to MAGA (grads loyal to alma mater, lawyers, respected institutions, etc). Throwing a bone to fellow authoritarians like Netanyahu is a huge bonus.

Kirk's body wasn't even cold before people knew the death penalty was locked in. Your Dad might recognize you but what sick fuck says "yeah, go ahead and execute my kid; here ya go" ?

Doubtful. Mormons aren't going to support murder and Kirk had that veneer of reasonableness that made him the wolf in sheep's clothing that he was. Despite quotes being thrown around, Kirk's fascism was more subtle because otherwise he wouldn't have attracted the uninitiated the way he did.

Mormons will disown him and MAGA will keep their hold on Utah. It might even increase since everyone loves a martyr.

Shallow content comes from trying to manipulate the recommendations algorithm and "go viral". Without a recommendations algorithm, the incentive disappears.
