I set 2 different people up with revanced over the weekend. I thought I’d typed in the wrong URL because I’m on Firefox mobile and both of them are on Chrome mobile. Literally looks like an entirely different site. On Chrome it’s got a big fancy logo at the top, ads…fucking…everywhere…
On Firefox(with various blockers and anti trackers etc etc) it’s a plain white page with a bold title and small blurb then links to the various apks. Took me a minute to even figure out where the link for the manager was…

That does ring a bell. I wouldn’t say I was a fan, I bought a few of their albums, and enjoyed them, but idk if I’d be able to name one of their albums or songs…

It’s like the AI Scientist experiment, run jointly by Sakana AI (Japan), University of Oxford, and University of British Columbia.

It recently was tasked with running experiments, and strict time frames. So it tried to rewrite it’s own code to give itself more time to work on the experiment.

I have the ghosrtery extension on Firefox, I have it set to auto reject all tracking cookies, and reject all third party “legitimate interest” cookies. I’ve heard there’s other extensions that do the same, and maybe better, but I already have it set the way I want.

Still using it, so still going right now.

Modern phone makers don’t consider you as part of their demographic.

Ouch…fair, but ouch…

Sure, on-board is stupid fast. I don’t need stupid fast to hold my photos and videos for work, or my 100+gb of music for on the go that I change up semi-regularly. What I use my sd for is pure storage, and I now don’t want to further upgrade to a new phone as I either have to pay through the nose for storage, or sacrifice some device power and build quality to be able to have expandable memory. You cannot with a straight face tell me phones don’t need expandable memory, because they really do. I can’t even count how many time my wife has had poor/no reception and was trying to show me a photo from years ago, but her iPhone couldn’t grab a high quality image from the cloud. On a road trip, her Spotify sometimes doesn’t work due to no signal/roaming. I currently don’t have that problem. Most of the music I am listening to frequently is on my sd card, I have backups of ROMs for if I wanna play an SNES or DS game or whatever, I have the important photos from the last decade. It’s all just there because I can slap a 512gb sd into my phone.

Or a headphone jack, yes, a large number of people have wireless earbuds…but the audio quality off them isn’t amazing, and goddammit I wanna plug my really nice headphones in, or connect to a stereo without needing to use a Bluetooth dongle or…or…fuck…idk…just stupid. The big players saw apple cutting all that away(barring expandable memory, they never had that as far as I know) and said fuck what people want, apple can dictate what their customers want, and we want to too! And then getting a device with enough on-board storage is hundreds of extra capitalism tokens. It’s a fuckin mess…

performs secret S9 handshake

Mine’s in a drawer with the battery removed. If I need a backup phone it’s always there. I upgraded about a year and a half ago to the S20FE as it was the most recent with expandable memory. I don’t hate it, but it’s certainly no where near as good for it’s time as the S9 was. My major gripe? The ringtone is so quiet that I often can’t hear it from my pocket in a silent room. Which is absolutely ridiculous as the speaker’s decently loud. The only way to make notification volume louder is to put a custom ROM on it. I’m perfectly happy to do that, just need to hold off until November when warranty ends, just in case something happens that isn’t my fault.

Edit: goddamn I miss the notification LED…

and both are described as SDUC UHS-I cards that are “built for tomorrow’s smartphones, gaming devices, drones, cameras, and laptops.”

Gaming devices: ✅️
Drones: ✅️
Cameras: ✅️
Smartphones: ❌️

Basically every current flagship phone, and you know that’s what they mean, has done away with expandable memory…

God…Primus is such a great band. I’ll have to dig out my albums and have a listen again.

Well…that’s kinda disappointing 😞.

I think we can workshop something out of Pud for transphobes. But it’s going to have to be tomorrow for me.

making drawing the runes for casting spells more reliable

Huh…guess I might actually be able to give it a proper go then. I couldn’t ever play more than 2-3 30min sessions every few years as I’d get so so so very frustrated with trying to draw runes.

One can only hope

Which podcast? Sounds like something I’d be interested in listening to

I’m from the west coast of Canada, a euphemism for jerking off where/when I grew up is “pulling the pud.” Moving to the UK had some funny bits…like Christmas Pud…as in pudding(dessert). Pronounced slightly different, but my inner 6 year old had a laugh anyway.

Well, only way I can figure it wouldn’t effect the foundation, is that the corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of the foundation, presumably this is to protect the foundation financially and legally from anything that might happen to the corporation.

🏅 there you go bud!

Be sexier if it was in a pair of skinny jeans, eating some beans, and listening to Ween…s…
