It doesn’t actually say that if you read it word for word, but the wording in that section is definitely confusing and needs to be revised

Have you tried downloading it from a browser on desktop and installing via adb?

My brother in pedantic fuckery, may I introduce you to ART

Electrical tape + heat + time = a sticky gross mess you’ll have to deal with in a couple of years

This the same guy who made calls for child labour to be legalised and for the civil rights act to be repealed… I’m gonna go out on a limb and say this isn’t (deliberately) satire

There is an ATV LineageOS image available for the 2021 Onn for anyone who wants to go that route https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/dopinder/

I actually wonder sometimes how it’s survived this long

So I’ve been involved with the repo a little (just some basic issue triage and documentation stuff) and all I can say is that Yuliskov has made that project his life’s work. If anything happens to him, we’re all screwed!

This might not be the most helpful suggestion for apps you already have installed (I’ll leave that to others lol) but any time I have to set up Windows for a friend or family member, I do a complete minimal reinstall using an autounattend.xml script (this is an official method that sysadmins use to set up lots of machines quickly, but can also be used to avoid Microsoft’s bullshit from the very start) [you can create your own easily here] (https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/)

I then use UniGetUI to install and manage all apps, this is a graphical frontend for Winget and Chocolatey that allows you to install virtually anything with an app store-like experience, but without the locked down ecosystem. The people I’ve introduced this to actually love it but it always takes a little explaining that this is how to do things now and they shouldn’t go downloading app installers from websites.

So I’ve done a bit of research on this and I don’t think what you say here is the most accurate.

LineageOS doesn’t include any Google apps or services by default, nor does it include MicroG. (It does give an optional step to flash a GApps package in the official install guides, but this can be skipped no problem)

LineageOS does use proprietary Google BLOBs for AGPS services and wifi captive portal detection, both of which are anonymised by the nature of the protocols used. But more importantly, /e/ OS also uses these too, so /e/ shouldn’t be ranked any higher than LineageOS is

One problem is a lot of wind power is generated up north, but a large majority of electricity consumption happens further south and the grid infrastructure isn’t equipped to transmit all that power that distance

I’m sure it was Simon Clark who talked about this in a video, but I can’t find the exact one at a glance

He coerced and raped a severely autistic woman. Iirc he was wanted by London police in connection with it but he lives in… I think Iceland now (don’t quote me on that, I’m not sure if I got the country right)

Hey, don’t be sexist… They also let women stare at boobs discreetly

I’d classify it more as a syrup, but whether syrups are just a subset of “goo” is up to you

Andy Burnham: “I want to try to end rough sleeping”

The Tories: “Did you hear that? Labour wants to end homelessness so we need to the opposite! Let’s vow to make 230,000 MORE households homeless”

This is the fucking world we live in

Yes they do, it’s been that way since mid-covid. They even put ads on small channels who aren’t eligible for monetisation yet. All part of Google’s enshittification strategy. Just use uBlock origin or a third party client

It’s sad but I’m hardly surprised she went offline, her coming out video got brigaded by the most disgusting 4chan scum

I was never subscribed or watched him religiously, but sometimes I’d watch something of his that popped up if it looked interesting.

I’ve had his channel blocked since the 90mph in a school zone incident. Dude can get fucked for that and I hate that everyone seemed to forgive him and move on

A few I’ve watched got outed as creeps or predators (Wilbur Soot, Exurb1a, + a couple others I can’t remember)

There was one space news channel I watched who’s name I can’t remember now (he even showed up in one of Everyday Astronaut’s live streams at one point years ago iirc) who turned out to be MAGA and started making videos about how “nAsA iS aCtUaLlY cOmMuNiSt”

My most recent unsub was Brodie Robertson, he was apparently caught sharing loli images in a discord server or something. Apparently the guy who called him out for it is some alt-right grifter, but Brodie’s defence amounted to “it’s just drawings bro”

I’ve been watching YouTube as my main source of entertainment for 15+ years so there are countless creators who’s content I’ve just lost interest in too.

What the fuck are you talking about?

To be fair, a lot of the petitions that get uploaded are either dumb or just jokes. That doesn’t excuse the government treating the serious ones that have huge public support as if they’re also jokes, of course
