U.S.A. is not a democracy, it’s an oligarchy. Has been for decades, but more so now than ever before. Corporations have begun to openly ignore law and have no fear of punishment. Because they own the government they write the laws and they decide what happens everywhere.

As I said in a different comment, it’s a painful thing to hear, but the sad simple truth is, the bad guys won.

It would be nice if corporate bribery were not allowed. Giving tens of millions to them - to their “campaign” - which they all funnel and launder into their pockets - is literal and unambiguous bribery. And yet it’s the reality of our nation.

Well yes except our government is bought and owned by those corporations. That’s why we are not represented by them.

There’s a simple way to put it, but it’s painful to hear: the bad guys won.

He’s beholden to the corporations controlled by the wealthiest 1%. Anyone who gets elected is already someone who “plays ball” because they don’t get to there otherwise.

Nope. America is OWNED by rich people. It’s a corporation and they make the laws so all the laws are to help them have more power.

I have family going back several generations who lived in Israel before it was even Israel. I’ve lived there. Have you lived there? Do you have any idea what has been going on for the past 70 years? Or do you only know what the media tells you?

You have no idea at all. So you throw like a dozen strawmen into your response. Seriously your argument is nothing more than masturbation. Enjoy your rhetoric and buzzwords. You are completely fooled.

There are very few of us remaining who haven’t sucked the terrorist dick already. All these college students crying over the poor Palestinians they have nooooo idea of history. All the sob stories meanwhile on 9/11 those people were dancing in the streets celebrating.

I guess they don’t have their wealthy running the government and writing the laws.

It’s the only thing we will have left pretty soon. Capitalism is pretty close to flatlining. Then we will have a Corporate Congress and the nation will become The United Corporation of America - in name as opposed to now where that’s what it is but it’s not yet called that.

We need a kind of everybody union.

I had this conversation with lots of people if everyone saw a company is doing things or taking advantage of people imagine if on the exact same day, one million customers canceled their accounts. That kind of unity can give all the power needed to the regular people. But you can’t get people to cooperate or even to have enough self-discipline to go along with something that isn’t for their immediate and measurable benefit. And so the big players know they can abuse and exploit.

Yeah I’m kinda the same way. The problem is I want this Android device I just need to gain root and take out google’s always running always spying stuff. That’s all I need to change.

The entire mobile device market is an organized crime enterprise at this point. So it’s a matter of just getting what you need out of it as easily as you can. I definitely don’t allocate any time to this stuff for fun. I used to, but now I just want to do what I need and that’s it.

I want to own what I have that’s why I wanna root. I also want decent battery life and performance. All the hardware manufacturers seem to cram as much in there as they can, so you’ll quickly find yourself wanting something better. I got the Zenpad to be able to give me like 20 hours of battery life when using it as an e-reader. I wish rooting and super user etc. steps for this were as easy as that device was.

My phone is iPhone but this is tablet and I want more privilege on this thing. No justification for me not to be able to do absolutely anything and everything I want.

The forums are insanely difficult to navigate. Every post is a collection of abbreviations. Every instruction guide refers to steps as though you already know how to carry them out as in “pumf your giget then wink the boop then skit the yump”

I wish there was a tutorial that was step by step with detailed articulation of exactly what each thing is. Used to be they’d do that.

My product is SM-T220NZSPXAR sku SM-T220NZSPG. I’d like to root it and debloat things I don’t want running, I’d like to be able to move apps over to my sd, and I want to be able to disable automatic starting of junk.

I did this years ago on my Zenpad and it was pretty clear and easy. I guess I’m getting old.

I wrote my first program on an Apple IIe when I was like 9. This is just overwhelming me with info that isn’t really coherent at all.

I found a is this what I want?
How to unlock & root Tab A7 Lite T220/225, install LSPosed, Magisk, Mods.

It looks like Lineage actually might be available although I don’t need it.

I gotta tell you I can’t make heads or tails of the xda forums. Every post has a half dozen abbreviations and I have no idea what I want. What’s the difference between root and TWRP.

Yeah I was thinking just to root and leave it at that. I have an old old ASUS Zenpad I did that on and use it as an e-reader. It helped performance.

Thanks.

Hey, the moment it becomes less than the best, I’m out lol. I guess it’s goodbye chromium.

It’s actually not what I was using; I was using nativefier to make webapp using electron. I guess I’m just gonna ditch all these ideas and just stick to Firefox and that’s it.

Yep, it’s kinda the last straw. I don’t do ads, period.

Nice! Thanks.

I have Vivaldi installed mayhap I’ll give it a try.

Yeah clearly that’s the choice. It’s not a huge deal obviously I’m just using the sites in Firefox I was just hoping chromium was a possibility.

The thing is, we (you know, us) are very dependent upon Firefox and their management has really exhibited some stubbornness in the recent years with regard to some issues that the user-base really don’t agree with. No I’m not citing examples I just have encountered this more than once or twice in the recent years with a variety of issues.
