One of the good ones for many years. One of the few great rooted apps I’d paid for and would install after every fresh rom flash.

Most likely. I see many satirical or ironic jokes go over many heads here.

Linux has come a long way with gaming fortunately. I daily drive fedora and use Proton-GE/Wine-GE and can play most games with the exception of some problem ones (Assetto Corsa & Rust, I'm looking at you).

Only time I ever fool with W11 these days is when I use Studio One for music or play on of the (very few) problem games some friends want me to join them on. I'd recommend checking out the Nobara distro for games.

Not surprising OSX is a better Windows in some ways. Switched to iPhone last summer for my daily driver and don't regret it. Best mobile experience I've had since my custom ROMs days on Android. Even started out setting up app folders to copy my Nova Launcher setup. That said, I'll be excited when more privacy respecting options come around to the mobile market for my next phone.

It's almost certainly redcurrant and please don't eat random plants without certainty.

(The berries were sort of translucent, right?)

Time for musicians to protest and riot*!

It sounds like you think that you know a lot about me. Please tell me more.

It's definitely not a self report to be defensive when no one said anything specifically about you before losing your shit and taking things personally.

Whether or not I do, they won't be "raised" by slipping into a YouTube Kids coma 24/7 unsupervised.

What a hassle. Might actually have to be a present parent in your child's life. 😰

I also struggle with this often as a 'Merican expat living in another country, hopefully permanently. Occasionally I wanna catch up on US shit but most of the time I care more about what's going on in Europe and other places so I couldn't care less about the perpetually stupid shit happening back in the US.

I'm still learning the language where I moved to so English news resources that are about other places can be very valuable to me. My main resource (and advice to others with this issue) is using an RSS reader with good sources you find along the way. Not every site has RSS these days but many do. I fill in the blanks with podcasts and stories in the language of my country. Only downside is no discussion unless you post on Lemmy or other social media, but maybe that can become a thing we do. :)

Lived there for decades, have to agree.

You have very few rights as a worker. Pay is dogshit, even for better jobs. Life there sucks even if you're well off. Doesn't matter if you're rich, poor, left, right, black or white, it's gon' suck donkey balls being there.

Still made the best of my time there but now I've moved to Northern Europe and the difference is night and day.

Also editing your hosts file (rooted, android), using an adblock vpn (nonroot, android/iOS) or filtering your DNS (iOS, non jailbroken) kills basically all mobile ads. Alternatively use a Pihole on your network.
