Well, right, it doesn’t have to be a specific OS. I haven’t done much research because I’m my current situation, it’s not a good option for me as (for instance) some of my required 2FA apps won’t validate on a rooted phone.

If that changes, I’d do more research, obviously.

I rooted my phone years ago and it was a chore. Once it finally worked, hardly any of my apps would run and nothing important worked because suddenly a rooted phone isn’t “safe”. It was such a pain in the ass to do updates and fight programs to run that I stopped. I didn’t want to spend hours fixing a device that I really didn’t want to think about.

I would love to install GrapheneOS and have it mostly just work. I hate having my phone locked down like it’s not mine, and it’s one of the reasons I won’t use it for anything important over my desktop.

BFG Division from DOOM 2016 or Darude - Sandstorm for the parallels of Run Lola, Run.

But in reality, silence. I’d need to form a plan and amping up on adrenaline wouldn’t help with that.

This could be a case of them cutting multiple covers at once.

I had the same problem with jeans. I order the exact same style and size, but they don’t all fit the same. When I spoke to a Levi customer service person, they said they have multiple layers of fabric piled on top. Then the cutting blade presses down, and the fabric bends. As the top one is to short on measurements, the bottom most one is to long. So you want one in the middle.

I know paper isn’t fabric, but it could be something similar. It’s speed and efficiency over accuracy.

Interesting, because the inability of people to understand basic concepts continues to disappoint me.

Shoplifting is actually stealing. You’re taking something away from the vendor. Piracy doesn’t actually take anything physically from the vendor.

Besides, if I can’t actually buy it (only a license to use it), then it’s not possible to steal it.

Additionally, most of Oklahoma is still various reservation lands. That was a recent court ruling, so I suspect this is a few years old.

I saw a theory that Charlie was reading “Pepe Silva” from “Pennsylvania” and it would make sense that a lot of the mail would say that.

They do, but Google reduced their utility. Ads from YouTube get through my uBlock Origin, and I see ads in my search results. This was a fairly recent development, as maybe a year ago I didn’t see any ads at all on Chrome. The day I got ads punched through my blockers, is the day I quit being lazy and migrated back to Firefox.

Google has no incentive to block ads when that’s part of their revenue stream, so they nerfed third party extension’s ability to actually work at intended.

Correct, but Chrome recently allowed ads through that weren’t block-able by uBlock Origin or any other blocker at the time. That’s when I switched back to Firefox, so I don’t know if anyone figured out a way around it.

Speed almost doesn’t matter for me, since Chrome allows ads and Firefox actually lets me use adblockers and privacy badger. The time wasted on ads are way larger than the time spent loading a page.
