Everyone else getting more adds including a ribbon add?

Not only am I getting more ads, but the annoying malware redirect to "You're a winner!" has resurfaced.

I got a new phone yesterday (for the given value of "new"). I bought it to be an up-to-date device to run the other-than-other-than-Android-or-iOS OS that I have a shine one. I voided the warranty by flashing it, happily avoided making it a brick in the process, and now after having set it up to my ways it's kind of boring already because now it's pretty much like my old phone, only more powerful and robust.

Only a couple of Android apps aren't working in lack of the Google Services. Sadly The Athletic is one of them.

Yeah but look at what you win. So worth it.

I mean, I'd rather have a Steak and Lobster dinner with a lingerie model but that's just me.

Check out Pihole. It's a great way to block ads on all your devices.

I used to do a lot of rooting, unlocking, ROMing, etc. The early versions of Android were pretty rough around the edges and you really had to do a lot of that to finish what the developers had started.

Now I'm almost 2 1/2 years into my Pixel. I've never rooted or unlocked it, and it still runs like a champ (aside from the battery being totally shot). A microSD slot would have been nice, but it's still far and away the best phone I've ever had. Each successive iteration of the OS has left me with less reason to want to tinker, and eventually it got to the point where I didn't bother. I'm sure I'd still enjoy making it do cool stuff, but I don't feel like I need to anymore to get the phone I want. It's kinda nice.

Not having to would be my preferred option too, but I took a shine on the damn Sailfish OS by Jolla.

I got their first self-manufactured Jolla phone in 2015, and also ordered the OS-licensed-by-an-Indian-operator device Intex Aqua Fish. First one failed recently, and though Aqua Fish is kicking nicely and gets all OS updates, the Android compatibility layer allowing the usage of Android apps is becoming pretty obsolete (4.4 Kitkat).

Alas, they got burned in the manufacturing front, and nowadays they only license the Sailfish OS for others. For private customers they got official ports for a number of devices of Sony Xperia variety through the Sony Open Devices thingy, which are pretty much the only game in town for people like me.

Did you know that Warren Buffett founded Facebook, and it started in Russland?

I was in charlotte all of last week and it rained every single day. I couldn’t believe it. Was still better than the ice and snow at my place.

I hope none of you have to deal with dating apps. I imagine it’s exponentially worse for women but good lord I feel like I’d have better luck if I sat on a corner with a sign asking for pity dates.
