I had to be burned twice before learning this lesson - instances went down and I had to switch.

We don’t have bears here, only lions…

I heard about the avast thing, but how are isp’s modifying web pages, that shouldn’t be possible with with https, right?

That’s the plan.

Thanks, I’m going to look at a rom soon, it’s my main device though and I don’t have a good track record when it comes to not bricking phones 🤣

Also there is the bit about unlocking the bootloader, I heard it’s not straightforward.

Yeah I’m going with they’re innocent. Just the UI with the install button and no explanation is not cool.

Putting in my vote for Librera reader here. Also on f-droid

Fun meme but corporate job listings in my town contradict the premise.

Let them C# I’m sticking to C++ and Python.

I was about 19, a magician friend told me I was good enough at juggling to do busking but I was too shy. Decided to give it a go anyway and remember shaking so hard while lighting the fire torches I was using. Made R30 ($2) so not a lot but I did it. I remember thinking to myself, “I’ll never have to work again!”

That was over 20 years ago, and since then - with the exception of that stupid pandemic we had recently - I have made a decent living as a circus performer and magician.

I won’t tell you it wasn’t a bumpy ride at first, but that first show was the turning point for me I will never forget.

It’s in South Africa. You can’t legally buy a TV without showing your TV license here.

Luckily this does not apply to computer monitors although there are some in our government who want it to be an obligatory national tax instead - due to widespread non-compliance. The fees support a bloated and corrupt nationalised public broadcaster.

Can we do this after they shut down their server please

In my country you are charged a license fee for the privilege of owning a tv. That’s why I always only had a PC attached to a monitor instead.

Nowadays that is replaced with a dirt cheap orange pi running libreelec (Kodi) which also runs pi-hole in the background for all of the other devices on the network.

The setup is a bit of a hassle but it’s a vast improvement on the interface and functionality of friends “Smart TV” experiences in my opinion. I even set it up to work with an old TV remote as the pi has IR built in, although there are phone apps to do remote control also.

Same experience here! It’s the mods not us

Same. Hopefully this instance doesn’t go down like the last ones.
