With all that free money, it looks like Nintendo will be just fine if I never purchase another one of their games. Hell, I may even offer to hack some of my friends' systems just to spite Nintendo.

I've been using this app for a while. Very handy for quickly getting a definition without leaving an app.

This is a scam, the website has no home page.

This mother fucker REALLY wants the machine uprising ending.

In Jellyfin, if you add the Star Wars movies to a collection named Star Wars, then do the same to the TV Shows, and then open the Star Wars collection, it will show you the movies and the shows. You could probably do the same for the books after you install the book library plugin, though I don't think Jellyfin is the ideal way to read ebooks.

What do you mean? This IS the testing!

Thanks for posting this a fourth time. I really needed that extra dopamine.

I was meming on OP for deleting and re-posting this multiple times because they were frustrated by the amount of downvotes.

Could you please delete this post and post it again so we can all dislike it a fourth time? I need more dopamine.

Something something anti-trust?

And not a single penny will be paid to affected parties.

The Dynasty reboot.

No, it doesn't. I use 95% FOSS software, so anything that might have ads just gets denied network permission entirely. As for AppOps, I just looked it up, and that would be something I'd like to see developed as a feature of Graphene. It seems like a genuinely useful, and at the very least privacy-protecting, app. I don't use copy/paste via keyboard, and despite it not having network permissions, I'd still deny it clipboard access simply because it doesn't need it.

It looks like the verified boot security feature of Graphene effectively prevents rooting the OS. I understand wanting root access, it does provide some nice features, but I don't have any need for it. I don't have any bloatware embedded to remove, and I don't need to mod any system apps, so I haven't looked into it much. I know the dev says it isn't planned because it massively increases attack surface, which I personally agree with, but it would be nice to have the option via a separate version of the OS or something. If you need root access, I would suggest looking into LineageOS. It's similar in privacy to Graphene and last I knew could be rooted. Graphene is very focused on security as well as privacy, and for me is a best of both worlds, but if you want to modify the system for various power-user type features, it might not be for you.

I'm not sure what the GrapheneOS stock camera app does under the hood, but if it's not enough for you, you have the option of installing Google's Pixel Camera app from the Play/Aurora store if you want to compare. I don't imagine it would require Google Play Services to run on devices older than 8 since they don't have the AI integration, but I could be wrong. You can easily deny the app network permissions to ensure that the app isn't sending your photos to Google. As far as the AI features go on newer devices, I could see those requiring Google Services installed to work, but again, they're available through a Graphene mirror, run sandboxed for privacy, and can be denied network permissions. I'm satisfied with how my pictures turn out (7 Pro), but I may try Pixel Camera out just to see what the difference is.

The only recommendation I can provide is a Google Pixel device with GrapheneOS. Graphene is only designed to work on Pixels because they are (allegedly) the most secure mobile phone hardware-wise. Once you flash Graphene, it's up to you to install any apps beyond the basic browser (Vanadium), gallery, camera, caller, SMS, PDF viewer, contacts, file manager, and security/system apps. No Google involved without your permission, though you will have to install Google services, available via a Graphene mirror and sandboxed for privacy, IF you want to install an eSIM after flashing Graphene. If you're interested in further information, please let me know. I use it, love it, and am happy to provide any information you may need to decide if it's a good fit for you or not.

Microsoft is doing a really good job convincing me to switch to Linux. Hopefully soon that will be a realistic possibility for me. Fuck Microsoft.
