  • This has actually been one of the biggest reasons I’ve been hesitant too. Looking at that list, my bank isn’t on it (a regional credit union), nor is my credit card provider which also has an app for management.

    Ontop of that, there’s a provincial ID app that’s recently rolled out. It’s become somewhat important for reaching certain government services and can only really be transfered from one working device to another unless you go through the whole process to have it issued again.

    I have no idea if that will work on graphine and I don’t have a second device to transfer it to while I wipe this and put a new ROM on it.

    I do want to try GraphineOS, but I think I’m going to wait for my next device and start from scratch with that.

    That does leave me with a question though. If you do install GraphineOS or another os/rom and it’s not working out for you; how hard is it to get back to factory, or at least back to a ‘standard’ android install?













  • Well there was the shift a couple years ago with Reddit seeking to dramatically increase ad revenue, so they banned the use of third party clients to force users through their monetization racket.

    Along with that, they clamped down on the API preventing search engines or other applications from indexing data unless they paid reddit for it, ontop of selling user data to AI companies regardless of what the community thinks of that practice. (afaik, there’s no opt-out either)

    And now, they’ve made a pretty big pivot in cracking down on free speach; banning users for so much as liking a comment that contains the word ‘Luigi’ (even if obviously video game related and nothing to do with politics).



  • Blackout curtains in the bedroom, with an exra throw blanket blocking off the gaps on top to ensure 0 light gets in.

    That room is usually lit with red LEDs to avoid blue light as I like to lay in bed watching YouTube for a few hours before sleep, and often wake up at night, have a smoke/joint, then go back to bed.

    Living room has regular blinds that allow some light, and even get opened on occasion. More often than not though, lit by a pair of table lamps with dimmable smart bulbs in them.






  • While logical; Much of society doesn’t see that as an acceptable option EVER, let alone due to financial hardship.

    Then there’s the dystopia that is enforcing that in any way… What are you going to do, inspect every women every 6mo? That’s not acceptable at all. Some sort of checkpoint at maternity wards? Now women are afraid of hospitals and giving birth without care at home…

    The only real solution is to provide support to those that can’t afford it, and work towards a more educated society that has the stability to plan ahead for such things.
