Because a new night mode or yet another needless redesign is not an update. They seem to have a quota of "updates" to fill tbh.

Since this is LineageOS, I assume everyone is running a custom recovery. Why not use Nand backups then? I just wonder because that's all I ever used. Just straight up bypasses any BS the OS would throw... on the same device at least.

You don't have to die of cancer. If you got it, and you're sure it's terminal, there's really not much need to wait, there are ways. I'm still an alcoholic. I may drink less than before, but it's the only dru

Jesus, can't they just... be on standby? On that note, it would be hilarious if that applied to IT.

"Live miserable and alone for 364 days grandma, so we can see you one more day" Talk about gross.

You say that and then act shocked when inevitably someone stabs or shoots a bunch of people. They live among everyone else and many need help, never forget that.

"I had Covid and it was just 3 days of mild fever" This always attracts the panicky lil shits who think it's the end of the world and tell me I'm a dumb antivaxxer. There's more of them than me, so I'm an extre

This is one case where I'd happily go before you. In fact, I've been permanently banned from Reddit, never used Twatter and Fecebook, quit Imgur because it just became too fucking dumb, now HN needs to ban me and I'm free...

> because of London offering much better protection from being gunned down in broad daylight than cities in their home countries. Highly doubt it. A targeted assassination would be as easy in London as anywhere else.

Sometimes I think Russia has it right. No one can push them into stupid decisions, like the EU does with neighbouring countries. That's for Europe, of course. The US is king of pollution per capita and they don't give a flying fuc

Yeah, if they manage it like Covid, people will riot. Everyone likes to talk about reducing their carbon footprint and shit, but push come to shove, no one wants to give up their lifestyle. Especially not the middle and upper classes. In th

Introduce tax for citizens but reduce taxes for companies that would be affected by it? Does that sound idiotic only to me? You reduce taxes for these companies... so they can afford to keep polluting the same as before, and place the burde

Lol, I don't believe that, but I like to entertain the thought that malware leaves me alone just because I have had a Russian layout installed ever since I can remember.

They have a long history of turning a blind eye on criminal activities like drug trafficking as long as it's not sold in Russia. Then again, so do many other governments.

Only to the extent you can verify. Although that highly depends on your ability to control/counter your own bias. Safer and easier way: don't trust anything.

Ha, my first thought. And actually what I did when I formed my first company. I had two plastic cards designed, one for me as "CEO" and another as a press pass with me as "Chief Editor", which actually got me into some e

Tbf, I learned "hacking" as the word for illegal (cyber) activity long before I've seen it used for "hacking stuff together".

It's offline Reddit lol, you can talk about almost anything knowing that you'll never meet this person again if you don't want to.

They're also working on creating a New World Order™ so you can't easily move to another country, which, by the way, is a terribly underestimated and underused ability at the moment.

More shit to buy, more shit to read and watch, more shit to eat. More, more, more. People telling you you can get more, you should get more, you should want more. People pushing you to do more, in life, at work, push yourself to the limit a

More fragmentation and more control over their own hardware. Having general purpose PCs that you fully own was great while it lasted.

I've observed the British respect other people, society and hierarchy. Not authority per se. That's the Germans heh.

It seems to me that insurance companies are the main problem, the hospitals just take advantage of that.

Venezuela's situation is just sad. Produces less than half of the food it needs to sustain the population, the vast majority of exports are oil (which has crashed in price) and some other natural resources. A recipe for disaster. No on

Even a 40 tonne tractor+trailer isn't hard to drive. I did it with a friend on long stretches of motorways. Surprising amount of torque and braking power. Reversing and maneuvering it anywhere is the real challenge :D

Black powder won't detonate by it's nature, it just deflagrates, burns real fast. Those cartridges can hold a lot of pressure, only something with a higher explosive velocity like nitroglycerin or TNT can fragment them.
