Well, that won’t matter unless it’s a brand new phone or has been properly erased because you won’t be able to install lineage anyway unless one of those two conditions are met.

Okay, according to the article, this functionality will only activate after you have signed into a Google account for the first time on the device. So, at least for those of us who use custom software such as lineage OS, that won’t matter since we don’t put a Google account on the device to begin with in a lot of cases. A lot of us boot the phone for the first time, skip the entire setup wizard as fast as possible without signing in or any of that stuff, and then immediately enable OEM unlocking and flash the lineage or whatever software.

Fun

Matrix, done

I’ve found that it’s a particular size. I do not like having a phone with case that is more than about 75 centimeters from edge to edge because then it feels somewhat uncomfortable to hold in the hand.

I just got Android 14 the other day through lineage OS 21 and I’m enjoying the fact that when I pull down the notification shade now that it triggers a quick tap of the vibration motor

Just like my cell phone plan, I get to pay $15 per month for calling texting and 5 gigabytes of data because I know for a fact that I’m not going to use 5 gigabytes of data where everybody else is paying $60 or more for unlimited.

I think I remember something about that, but I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time. I feel like whatever it was, it was rather recent, though.

Hell, it’s the only App Store I will even touch.

That’s cool. Now, when something like that comes to fdroid, I will be using it. Fuck google

Personally, I don’t see a problem with this as 128 gigs of storage is fine for me on a phone. In fact, I currently have a 64 gigabyte phone and I’m not using all of it, even now.

You do have a point. Governmyth fake wars like the US invasion of Iraq are the biggest murders of recent history and i dont see Bush in jail.

Politicians are nothing but criminals whom society has given power to rule over themselves.

You can’t update between major versions without plugging it in. So if you get an Android 14 update and you are on Android 14, you can install it. But if you are on Android 13 and get an Android 14 update, you cannot install it.

I literally just got Android 14 a few days ago because I had been running Android 13 lineage OS and finally got around to actually plugging the phone in and updating it.

Things like splitting the battery into multiple cells helps with this.

I am not seeing standard F-Droid doing that

Now we just need F-Droid to do this too

The funny thing is when I saw the article title, that’s the first thing that came to my mind as well.

Can you get fixed rate mortgages there? I’m here in the United States and when I bought a house a couple of years ago, I specifically demanded to get a fixed rate mortgage, even though I knew it would cost slightly more in percentage terms. I knew that I wouldn’t be subject to the whims of the jacking around of the central banks and rates.
