Oh yes they are. Well, we are I should say.

Flash a stripped down rom like LineageOS with minimal google services. De-crappify it. They are well supported and documented on XDA.
Ive never used a chromecast. Can they be flashed and de-googled?
I like Android overall, but I try and avoid as much google as I possibly can.
I made the mistake of using the LG smart tv features for like 2 years. I set up a pihole to block ads and eventually WebOS just quit working because ads and trackers did t work anymore. I factory reset the tv and switched over to a Roku stick. That worked well for nearly 4 years. Now I’m on a $19 ONN 4k streaming stick from Walmart. It’s actually kinda beef for what it is. Made by Asus and flashed LineageOS on it. Audio drops out and requires a reboot every few days. I want to move to a Nvidia shield but haven’t had the funds for it because I’m in a kitchen remodel.
I really want a NSFL tag. I very much do not want to see gore. There are other buckets of things that I’d like to be tagged for ease of filtering. Yiff and Furry art. I fully support those that do want to enjoy that content, I’d just like to be able to filter easier.
We’ll add it to the list for Q2 next year. We still have a couple percentage points to meet our EBITDA goals this year.
If there was an easy answer, it would already be done.
The only thing I can say is treat everyone with as much empathy and kindness as you can. There is plenty of anger and shouting to go around and you don’t win people to your side by shaming or insulting.
Those people are still just people and we have much more in common than we have differences. We all want to provide for the people we care about and want to feel safe and stable. They are just fed a non-stop diet of lies and propaganda pushing them to be how they are.
The world has enough vitriol. It could use a lot more kindness.
I think the answer has something to do with Programming Socks
Uhhhhh. I don’t know what you are talking about with Usenet. There is no shortage of trek there lol.
Yeah. That’s what I’ve been looking into. I used to root and do roms and stuff. Back in the day I was pretty involved in the XDA community.
I hate that. One of the reasons I dislike Samsung phones. Last phone from them was a Note 8 and unless they go back to a pure Android experience, I won’t get another. We know that isn’t happening any time soon.
Honestly I’m super over all our current choices. Im on an iPhone and while I like their privacy stuff slightly better than android, there are lots of things I don’t like.
I also hate how much metadata the big G snorts up. Even just the location data they retain is out of this world.
There just aren’t any options if you want something that doesn’t keep you boxed into a closed ecosystem or track every love you make.
One reason is a specific manufacturing process known as Kaizen. Here is a quick blog I found that describes it.
Personally, I find that people are most in need of someone to listen to them and validate their feelings. Don’t have to fix it. That was always a mistake I made in the past. I’m a fixer. If I see a problem, it’s my problem and I need to fix it. Just listen and be supportive.
Depending on your relationship with the person, it’s also sometimes okay to challenge distortions or exaggerations. My partner has started doing that for me and it’s been really helpful to reframe my problems.
I knew exactly which one!!!

Can’t wait for all this yellowed epoxy bullshit to be at the thrift stores for me to disappointedly shake my head at.
