I used to think the same but now I want custom Roms even more now than in the past for things like GrapheneOS with the desire to lessen involvement with Google or Apple.

I don’t think there is one that has the clean old OnePlus feel. I still liked them until the custom ROM support died out for follow up devices to keep it going beyond the official OS support, since the hardware was solid.

They peaked with the OnePlus 7 pro. Loved the pop up camera to provide a true full screen experience without pinhole or notches. Beautiful design.

American brands are trying to trick consumers into thinking they aren’t buying American brands. Backlash isn’t about a trade war. It could go away and it still wouldn’t change that the US is a fascist country sending people to El Salvador without due process and even arresting their mayor while threatening annexation of other countries due to inability to comprehend the concept of consent.

Looks like they are completely clueless about brand image, since tesla is the maga brand in the eyes of many.

When I think of the tesla brand I think nazi, racism, facism, bigotry, etc. So yeah I wouldn’t want to drive one even if it was given to me for free because of the problematic association. Some sticker wouldn’t make me feel people would buy that I’m not part of the cult of new world order worship bringing about extreme expansionist ideals and discrimination.

We are all exposed to the same propaganda.

Like how people were gifted ability to have more knowledge at their hands than previous generations and rapid communication, and then came to the conclusion that the earth is flat, vaccines are poision, and facism is holy?

Humans are dumb fucks. They will inevitably fuck up even the most perfect utopia they arrive in short of some mass hive mind brain washing Equilibrium style. i don’t hold that high an opinion of human society.

Leave the world to the animals. Humans are a failed experiment and a virus to the world.

This might work for kodi

Help? Help? What happened to wanting to be a proud independent country that don’t need no allies.

Diseases say fuck your borders.

Need empress to get on this.

Fuck DRM

I wonder if someone breaking it and collecting insurance money from it would end up being the preferred option over selling it.

Sounds like attitude of wage slaves that have been brainwashed into doing everything for the corpos and being fine with getting scrap. They live to work as opposed to work to live.

Can’t change the slave mentality of some people. They were just born to be one.

I just want dumb appliances that stay dumb and don’t need no ai or app shit.

And I want OS that just launch and download programs I click without account login requirements and ai shit trying to be my dumb shit buddy.

No eat your own eggs. You don’t deserve European eggs.

I use the old.reddit.com/r/subreddit+subreddit1 bookmark approach to get a reddit feed without relying on reddit account for a subscription on desktop browser.

And on Android I use Stealth from F-Droid which is an app that lets you subscribe locally, save locally, and lets you have different profiles with different subscriptions. And it is account free with no way to log in.

Moving to primarily lurking is the route I’ve taken.

Another thing is virustotal is a good site for scanning programs before running it, since it’ll scan it with every possible virus scanner available.

Windows defender and browsing the web with something ublock origin to block ads is sufficient. And just having virustotal scan a program before running it will protect you from most stuff.

If you do insist on a third party virus scanner then eset is one I used to use for years before sticking with defender. It is from Slovakia.

Avast had privacy violations.

Windows defender is good enough if you are on Windows.
