Shameless plug for my own GBC game, it's very kid friendly https://blue-dog-games.itch.io/bouncy-bouncy

I had an NC100. I used to write BASIC games on it. Fun device, very limited obviously but super cute with a nice keyboard. Good times

I wonder if there is some benefit from the clients interpretation of the reading, even though the reading itself is nonsense. In the same way someone can flip a coin to help you make a decision, and you realise from your gut reaction what you actually wanted to do all along, but weren't consciously aware of

Honestly I'm not technically knowledgeable enough to answer, you can have a read of their FAQs. But my understanding is that the sandbox allows some google services to be used, but without privileged access to the rest of the system. As opposed to blocking them entirely, which would mean you couldn't use those services at all. https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play

I use GrapheneOS and NextDNS. And NoScript. There's some overkill there but I figure why not.

To your question, GrapheneOS has put a lot of thought into features like sandboxing Google Play services so you can choose to use none/some/all depending on your preference. I would think that's probably a smoother experience than trying to block google services selectively via NextDNS. GrapeheneOS also makes it easier to manage per-app permissions and security features.

My old phone was a redmi note 10 pro with power button sensor and I did find it more accurate than my current pixel 7a under screen sensor. But it hasn't been a deal breaker for me

The Mirror website is cancer. I use NoScript and it won't load without allowing about 50 fuckkng scripts. MSN too. I avoid both but occasionally click on a link from elsewhere

There were 103 murders in Greater London last year, which also has a population of just under 10 million and of course is a dense urban environment with a lot of inequality. Of those, 67 were stabbed and only 8 were shot.

Bomb/grenade attacks are almost unheard of in the UK, outside of terrorist incidents.

I don't mean to attack Sweden which is an admirable country in many ways, and I wish the UK would adopt many of its policies. It's precisely because it's such a well run country that the increase in violent crime is so shocking
