I love everything about them except two things:

1. The aspect ratio. It's too damn narrow and it makes the phone look like a tv remote. They need to go a bit wider like Samsung. They do this stupid 20:9 aspect ratio. Watching YouTube sucks on it, too. Half of the video is just black bars because of the aspect ratio.
2. There nonstop chase after apple. They literally copy apple letter for letter in their phones' hardware and software and it's fucking disgusting. They are even now talking about removing the sound modes slider and replacing it with a button just like on the iPhone. They're drooling over apple all the time and it's pathetic. If I wanted an iPhone I'll just get one. There is a reason why I went android.

It tells me it is not compatible with my phone. Is it on fdroid? Can I sideload it from somewhere? I have a OnePlus 12 phone and it is running Android 15

My OnePlus 12 has that option, too. It can be rooted just as easily.

It's in the article. They want to run Linux desktop apps on Android because they're switching chromeOS to android base instead of Linux.

Then I guess the root file system has never really been locked down? It was shipped stock, but they give you the option to "OEM unlock" and root. I know samsung locks their shit, but this is google that is relevant here

You can still root pixel phones no problem, no?

They're doing this because they want to switch chrome to be android based, and they want to have desktop apps available right away since chrome doesn't have much.

Some time in June.

You're correct. Root is different from jailbreak. Root allows for a replacement of even the OS itself. Jailbreak allows you to install software that modifies low level parts of the system without replacing the system itself. This is as far as I understand it. That's why this is called a jailbreak, not root.

You're installing a launcher, KAUL, where you can do the "stuff". It's better than nothing. I would love to see actual custom ROMs to remove the whole Kindle OS.

I've never bought a Kindle a never will. I have a kobo sage and I love it. However, my friend gave me his and I jailbroke it. I have left the Amazon store disabled after the jailbreak. I just wish there is a way to remove the whole Amazon os and replace it with koreader.

Praise all the syatemd gods

I love this game. I've played it a lot on the PC. Going to install it on the deck now.

Shit, then let me stop reading this slog (the wheel of time) that has been like pulling my intestines out of my mouth by a child. I'm seriously going to stop it and start reading the expanse. That's it. I'm done. 😂

There ya go.

I don't think I've ever seen a book not get butchered as a movie. At least as far as I know.

I'm so sick of the reboots. Make it once and leave it alone

Who's the author?

Man, I have these books and I never got to read them. Are they good?

Bazzite is essentially steamOS except the base isn't Arch, it's fedora, which doesn't really matter much when you're running an immutable system. Bazzite has a "home theater" and "PC" versions.
