Are backs joints?

The official Pokémon Center shop has launched its latest plush toy - and it's for Wiglett, the long, pink-tipped worm-like creature that stands erect at 10-and-a-quarter inches.

Wiglett debuted in last year's Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and quickly became something of a f avourite.

Wigglet's design features a bulbous base, long pale shaft and then redder tip - that's its nose.

If you'd like one for your room, its measurements are 26cm in height and 12cm in girth

Thanks, Tom.

Why?

Edit: Thanks for the downvotes. I guess people don't like open-ended questions around here.

Some apps (like banking) may not work on rooted phones.

They use Google SafetyNet to check for root. There are ways to trick SafetyNet on a per-app basis

Even if you root your phone properly, you may not be able to unroot it.

With Magisk, it's as easy as flashing a single file, and if you want to be thorough, you can just wipe a few partitions and re-install your ROM

anyone can boot into that subsystem and access/alter the OS

Right. I was looking at it from a malware point of view, since OP's question "is it safe" is vague and can have one of at least three meanings. If your phone is rooted and the wrong person has physical access to it, they can bypass factory reset protection, among other things

However, most phones nowadays encrypt their user's data using the lock screen password as the encryption key. I think this would limit an attacker's access to user data, but don't quote me on that

It means getting access to parts of an operating system that you usually don't have access to. This allows you to improve the performance of your phone, increase its battery life, browse protected files, change the boot animation, customize the UI, change certain behaviors, set a battery charging limit, use v4a (an amazing equalizer app), uninstall system apps, and much more

The process of rooting is a little convoluted and depends on the phone, but you should be able to find a guide for your phone if you look for one. Things can go wrong if you don't follow the steps perfectly, but there's always a way out

Your phone will be wiped, so you need to back up your data

Your warranty will get voided in the process, but can often un-void it by unrooting

Your phone will be no less secure, as long as you use a good superuser app (everyone recommends Magisk) and only give root access to apps you trust. Think of it as "run as administrator"

Me too. I also open most posts in new tabs

And blocking someone on Lemmy doesn't block them on Reddit. What did you expect?

I'll admit I've done it to the Reddit admin that cheated on r/place last year

I'll admit that I've never made a post on XDA. I just created an account -- hopefully I can get some of my burning questions answered

That's fair, though I've found it hard to find information on these topics. I still only half-understand what I'm doing when installing a custom ROM or sideloading Magisk because I usually just blindly follow the accompanying steps

I remember when it was lemmy.ml that was burning down. I might have been partly responsible for that

Nah, that's passcursion

How can a meme be so specific yet so relatable?

Oh, so It's not just me. I'll do what I can to find the cause

I can reproduce it on Android in Firefox Nightly, but not in incognito mode (even while logged in). It happens in Chromium as well, including in incognito mode

In Firefox, I've tried disabling all add-ons and tracking protection and clearing cache and cookies, to no avail

I could test on other phones and operating systems, but I don't really want to spend more time on this. It's not that big of an issue for me

Does anyone else have an issue where the browser back button causes Lemmy to go back twice?

In other words, if you click "next" at the bottom of your feed, open a post and press the back button, does it return to the original page?

Or, if you choose a sort, open a post and press the back button, does the sort get reverted?

It started happening to me in 0.18.3, but I don't want to file a report if I'm the only one experiencing this
