  • Well, on my phone that back in stock could only do up to Android 10, Lineage gives me Android 11 (maybe 12, haven't checked) so it's still a serious win.

    Now, if you insist that I shall have an up-to-date device from the official manufacturer with all the bloatware, same planned obsolescence and zero control, or even worse a 4× overpriced Pixel, maybe you are so assured of this superiority that you'd be willing to fund it?

  • Security-wise you’re better off using whatever OS comes with your device

    So, Android 9 / 10?

    I'm sure not as heck going to spend zillions on a new phone (or a hard-to-find used one) when the one I have still works perfectly.

  • (IIRC) it’s even worse than stock because you can’t lock the bootloader after installation.

    That's a problem with the phone manufacturer, not with Lineage.

  • An used Pixel, assuming I can find one in my country, still costs four (4) times what I need to shell out for a in-market Lineage compatible phone.

    Theoretical security is cute, but it has to be adjusted to practical feasibility. The most secure computer in the world is useless to you if you can't boot it up.

  • Nothing too hypothetical nor an "insane" level of work. Didn't Israel do just that with some beepers to blow up children?

  • What are you waiting for??? He/she's ready to go.

  • that is not required to access the internet

    Tell that to the 12345678x captchas and "unblock challenge" notices I get whenever I try to browse common sites on the internet!

  • I mean, if you have a better incentive to discourage class traitors, go ahead. I'm hoping for what little we have.

  • Feel free to not condonde the murder of an innocent all you want, but that's another case, not this one.

  • You’re arguing that people don’t have free will

    [citation needed]

    I'm arguing that free will has limits in reality. Blaming people for stuff that is literally above their paygrade (not to mention designed and programmed against them) is some ruling-class schmuck.

  • I wouldn't say it'd be "in their favor". To be honest, I don't think even the ruling class has a way to make this smply "go away" in the "make sure polices and judges do not pursue this case" sense, and even if they did that'd just spark more animosity towards them that they have this power (i mean, we know they do, it's just now it'd be visible) and they're using it.

  • Where is mke_geek when I need some (un)fun meme bot responses?

  • Someone should twice as wide en passant meme this.

  • Theoretically: no.

    In practice, in the world we're living in? Hell no.

    Any attempt to prosecute the killer would simply add to the advantage the ruling class already have, and be basically an injustice by definition no matter how "by the book" could it have been approached in the otherwise wondrful and illusory world of theory.

  • Protip: knowing how to type while holding SHIFT does not make you CORRECT.

  • But those who don’t have a lot of money, choosing alcohol over food – then complain about not having enough food – that’s on them.

    Even when, by making the world hell, you nudge, inspire or promote them to turn to alcohol?

    Are you saying people are not responsible for influencing or coercing other people or their environment?

  • So if I mug three people, scam other five, misplace three livers to be transplanted to children, and share my Netflix password, I'm innocent.

    Excellent! I'll let the judge know your opinion on those matters when I'm asked.

  • Finally, some American (I assume here he is) shows they know how to use a gun!

    Now, where was he for the Olympics...

    (hopefully, training for this masterful moment)

  • Escusé moi, nothing says all of humanity has to be on a contiguous spectrum when it comes to respect.

    For one, farm animals do you no evil, and you don't owe them any authority, so they "start" with a higher default respect than what some humans can ever earn with their actions.
