No, I exactly mean rooting, and it is a hard requirement for me when choosing phones.

If you know what you're doing, there is no security risk involved, since every app requesting for root access needs to be granted individually, and you can opt to do so for a limited time or permanently. Or not grant it at all, obviously.

Tools like AppOps (advanced permission management), Storage Isolation (prevent access to certain folders even if "file access" permission is granted to some app), Ice Box (keep certain apps in a permanent state of hibernation unless you explicitly launch them) are absolute core essentials.

Other apps that enable you to fully remove system apps, system level adblockers, VPN sharing etc. might be optional, and there are no-root workarounds, but they all come with serious limitations.

And people wonder why I keep rooting my Android phones.

Without advanced permission denial and file access restrictions, phones will spy on anything and anyone.

There was a withdrawal of almost 1M in 2023, and the company's entire equity is basically cash. What you don't find in the balance sheet are salaries paid, which would be to himself alone. The 22k in earnings from investments is merely interest on top.

Sync for reddit grossed over 2 million British pounds - and that's current account balances, I didn't check withdrawals over time. See for yourself, company filings for UK Ltd.'s are public.

So you might consider sync for Lemmy a passion project since it's not exactly cashing in on the same level, no doubt, but it's a far cry from a lone nerd trying to make ends meet.

She absolutely is able to consent. That's what the OP means with 'puritanical', I guess. In the majority of countries worldwide the age of consent is 16; the US are one of the minority countries where it's 18.

Hmm... Clockwork and fluorescent arms?

Incorrect, according to German legislation, weapons may be used to protect life and prevent harm. Courts have recurrently ruled that an attacker with a knife approaching the police or innocent bystanders are considered beyond stoppable if they are in immediate reach of a potential victim (which has been said to be in a range of 6 meters and below).

What needs to be established now is whether the cop used unnecessary lethal force, since the guy has been hit 4 times (3 direct hits, once grazed), and at least one shot was from behind.

Drill a hole and get an analogue clockwork, done.

Yeah, there's a reason the orange overlord is targeting universities now. He knows that election wins come from the uneducated and poor. They either truly don't know, or don't care enough since they have no investments worth mentioning.

What's OAN? Never heard of that.

They aren't useless at all, just not in the sense you expect. Those icons are hosted on the respective website and therefore serve as a giant tracking pixel. Better block them altogether.

You could use LibreWolf on Linux, it's a Firefox fork that removes all DRM, telemetry and other privacy-disrespecting crap from the og Firefox. All native addons/plugins are fully supported.

Got the occasional mouse, but I usually only notice after my cats got to them first.

Or they hunt them outside and bring the corpse back, really couldn't tell.

Unfortunately they use some random font to display the temperature in the toolbar that is not the system font and can't be changed. Whatever they are using is larger than the clock font and distorts the appearance.

Here it's side by side with Today Weather.

The original app (geometric weather) as much better, but they stopped updating it, hence the breezy fork came to be. If only they didn't mess with the fonts, I would have loved to use it.

That looks useless on a catastrophic scale.

It's also quite awkward requiring others to spell the country with letters that don't exist in most alphabets, and therefore not on commonly used keyboards.

Sure you can make use of ü and others with some international layouts, but for laypeople it's rather cumbersome.

Imagine China would suddenly require everyone spelling it as 中国， nobody would even be able pronounce it, let alone write.

Post it on reddit, and that will end up as a google AI recommendation next week.

Mullvad are Swedish and the most privacy respecting out there, so that's an excellent choice.

The vegan alternative tastes terrible.

And the meatballs are a blend of beef and pork in most countries. In Muslim places it's beef with chicken, in Sweden you sometimes get moose variants for special occasions.

Horse is not typically used for meatballs since the meat is too lean, you need fat as a binding agent and to prevent it from drying out.

There is no c in Frikadelle.
