I wouldn't call this a "smart workaround". I mean, I can hardly blame the opportunistic fucks for doing it this way, and certainly the original sin in Apple's licensing/certification bullshit, but it's just an amazingly stupid way of doing this all around, brought about by both Apple's and the earbud manufacturers' greed.

You don't even need root, or at least you didn't when I had mine. You just need to turn on developer mode, and then the Fire Toolkit app can do the rest.

Hey, some bots are cool. There are even whole instances devoted to bots, like botsin.space.

Spambots can go to hell though, along with their creators.

You have to keep in mind that the US started on the east coast and then expanded west. A lot of the terminology we use goes back to those days, where everything west of the original colonies was "The West".

 

In the last couple of days, none of the comments I've made to kbin.social posts seem to be making their way over to that server. Are there any known issues with federating with them?

Must be doing something right.

Nice. Mine is an opera director.

I share a name with someone who is obscure enough to not come up in many conversations, but famous enough that he monopolizes the Google results for my name.

I quite enjoy the relative anonymity.

I'm increasingly glad I got the fuck out of there.

5 years of OS updates is more than you get from any other Android manufacturer. For everyone else in the space, you are lucky to get 3.
