I see they’re looking to kill F-Droid.

They cannot celebrate his conviction because that would undermine their assertion that the trump trial was rigged.

In a twisted way, their reaction makes sense, and for me, was predictable. The cult must be constantly managed for it to remain intact.

Easily solved: use F-Droid

Elections have consequences. Also, allowing people to get away with ignoring the rules has consequences. Refusing to do their constitutional job in the supremee court appointment by Obama should have resulted in impeachment of leader McConnell and a repudiation of antidemocratic activities by those who swore an oath to uphold the constitution and our democracy.

Many many years ago I realized that there would be no social security by the time I retired. Lo and behold Social Security will only pay 70% of its dues 3 years before I retire.

The good news is I’ve been saving for retirement since the age of 25. The bad news is there’s been a plethora of problems that have restricted my ability to save.

Thankfully, I I’m in a way better place than most people. Unfortunately I am still going to fall short.

Probably a reference to how many people died because of crashes in them.

Ah, yes. The plans laid out by the ultra wealthy bear fruit. We blame and shame each othe while they pay no taxes! Mr. Burns would be proud.

Remember that just five years ago, Trumpcsigned a tax bill that gave the wealthiest amongst us a collective two trillion dollar tax cut that cost me the home interest and local tax deductions i depended upon. My crime was living in a “blue state”.

Many, unfortunately, are so deep in doublethink the won’t believe that tricky Dick initiated the whole thing with the EPA, clean water or air act, and the endangered species acts. Some came after, i think, but he set it rolling. He was still a bad dude, but he did some good stuff

Well, my own observation shows me that most people don’t know the first thing about basic finances: compounding interest, budgeting, critical thinking when seeing advertisements, and the cost of take-out vs making dinner are some examples.

For gods sakes, check your credit card and bank balances once in a while!. smh.

Your tablets are premium line. Mine is an A series - budget model - so it was getting old when it was first released. I have an S8 now, and that will last longer.

Freeing up ram helps in a few ways. First, you can fit more apps in memory, so less unloading. Second, more room for zram swap, reducing reliance on much slower static ram for swap, and prolonging the life of the sd chip, too. Finally, it means that massive spyware is no longer siphoning cpu time from user apps. It’s a win, win win!

I literally had this exact exchange with someone last year, when they tried to cast doubt on global warming by comparing it to the ozone. Another person did the same , using acid rain, and I pointed out that the northeast sued the shit out of the Midwest until they cut that shit with the coal fire power plants.

This is a muddled message. Are we caught up chasing an illusion, or are we just more acutely aware of our poor condition?

It reads like it is saying the former, but then quotes statistics that reflect real loss of buying power. On the coasts 100k is no longer a large income. People really do live paycheck to paycheck while carefully managing their spending.

I’m inclined to at least partially acknowledge the gaslighting comment as plausible.

LineageOS GSI on my Samsung Tab 2019 Has made it still usable to this day, then there’s the one with microg on my Pixel 2XL. Getting rid of play services axed about 800M of RAM usage for me. The Pixel is on Android 14 and the Tab will be the next time I update.

We are out there, we own our devices, and get value out of them well beyond their predefined expiration dates.

That particular one is done as of October 2022. However, it looks like you are doing more intensive work on your phone than I am on mine. Perhaps I just lack imagination, but I never could figure out what I could do with tasker to improve my usage, and I understand what it can do. It’s just my life apparently doesn’t demand such solutions.

I personally never experienced the issues described in Firefox. Perhaps I was just lucky. I will say that Chromite is definitely snappier than Firefox. If you haven’t tried it yet, take a look. It is chock full of privacy protecting features, too.

I’ve had over 100 tabs open on my Firefox on Pixel 6 for months now. What are you doing that you can’t keep tabs open on Firefox?

Stateside here, and I agree that price is insane. Also, I like to root my phones , and Samsung makes that hard. that said, I am writing this on my tab s8 with a stylus. people forget that Saving for real needs takes priority! retirement is not free, after all.

After some experiments, I did see that objects do work, thanks

Thanks for the advice, I will give the channel a try. As for the webs, I haven’t had luck clearing them without a wand of disintegration or fire. Objects are stopped at the web.

I have a serious question for you. If a man is looking for a woman on a dating site, why would he post a bunch of pictures with women? I mean, it seems like it would raise more issues.

Do you want to see other women in his pictures to show that he is dateable? Maybe you want to compare yourself to his past relationships? As a man, I would not post pictures of me with women when I’m looking for a woman. The whole point is to highlight me and my eligibility, not raise questions of whether I’m a womanizer looking for my next conquest.

Then again, maybe that’s what you’re looking for? Someone who’s cool, and has lots of women hanging around him? I don’t know.

However, I do agree that if all he has on the profile is fishing, he’s probably not doing much else. I’d include a whole lot more stuff.

Funny thing is, what you say you seek is what I used to seek, but somehow I always ended up broke and overworked when i was with women. Maybe you’re one of the good ones I never found. Oh, well.

I had this problem once. I eventually just left because I was getting obliterated from all sides, and found I got partial rewards based on how many I found.

Lately the game seems to have gotten much harder. I’m being ganked by pop up mobs that come from three directions at once while I’m starving on cleared levels after roaming multiple levels unable to find food.

One recent death happened because a spider somehow webbed the hall behind me while two other mobs took me out with attacks that seemed to cut through all my armor like a hot knife through butter. It’s starting to lose it’s fun, really. No matter how well you play if the mobs are non-stop, you will eventually run out of healing potions and weapons.

I had a bat kill me after I went through two healing potions to survive the combat, and I had enhanced armor. Usually they are pretty easy to kill. It’s as if there is a random “you’re fucked” generator in this game.
