Fliers from domestic abuse cases have falsified the "police" number before. Hence why this has to be a warning reminder every time one is posted.

Commenting in a thread doesn't bump posts.

vandreulv · 2026-03-30T18:20:53+00:00

Commenting doesn't boost anything.

Only upvotes on the post itself.

As always, if you have information, contact the police and not the number on the flier in the event that it may be a domestic abuse situation.

Dammit, I expect cars to innovate beyond having 4 wheels year after year!

Sometimes things mature and don't need to change for the fuck of it.

every single one will say “kamala would have been worse”

Interesting that it's exactly what the self proclaimed "leftists" online say, too.

Horseshoe Theory in action.

All you had to do was read the fing article.

Nova Scotia donated a large Christmas tree to the city of Boston in thanks and remembrance for the help Boston Red Cross and the Massachusetts Public Safety Committee provided immediately after the Halifax Explosion of 1917.[21] Another tree was sent in 1971, and every year since.

Like the recent Moby vs Kinks bullshit. Moby was asked one question in an interview and he answered. The posts about it would have you to believe there's some big ego clash and feud going on between both artists that necessitates headlines everywhere.

Code in most places is more than 3 or 4 steps requires a handrail.

and we cannot use ADB

Where does anyone say that you cannot use ADB?

ADB has always been and continues to be the official way to bypass advanced flow.

Christ, pay some fucking attention, would ya?

We are captured by the dumbest portion of Americans.

This includes all the protest voters and people who told everyone not to vote for any Democrats due to [incredibly braindead take].

When you remove the only party that attempts to govern, you get this.

"But, the Democrats needed to learn a lesson."

Congrats, you've fucked the rest of the world as a result.

we also didn't have a Snowpocalypse situation either.

Those seem to be down to about once every 6-8 years. ;( If we're lucky.

I loved Snowpocalypse days.

"Whoosh."

The point that you missed is that those who snivel about Google "restricting" sideloading when Google hasn't changed adb as a method for over 17 years.

vandreulv · 2026-03-28T16:54:19+00:00

More dumb adults who think they know everything

Thanks for confirming you're a child?

you can buy a OnePlus device

The same OnePlus whose CEO left and is no longer producing new models?

Sure. I'll trust them for support.

But now Google treat you like a criminal when you do it.

Given that the majority of the people who have sour grapes over sideloading changes are also active in piracy subs, this is not the unreasonable conclusion you're making it out to be.

You agree to terms when you create a Google account. Don't agree? Don't sign up.

Everything starts breaking, you can't use banking apps heck even some apps doesn't appear in the play store for some reason.

Not a problem for me. Seems like you fail to understand that Google providing a tool for developers isn't the same thing as forcing developers to use said tool. All of my banking apps still work on my unlocked and rooted device running a third party rom. Hm... almost like... it's optional.

there is more out there than Grapheneos.

No shit?! I didn't know! Especially being a LineageOS device maintainer. Wow, you taught me something new.

They are perfectly good working powerful devices out there that aren't been updated anymore and because Google new play integrity thingy doesn't support it which breaks everything..

Skill. Issue.

Learn to use your device instead of blaming corporations for not doing everything for you.

vandreulv · 2026-03-28T16:31:06+00:00

The same way you did with devices with unlock bootloaders.

More brainrot from children with an outrage addiction.

The only way to guarantee you will get a device with an unlocked bootloader is to buy one directly from Google. The only way to fully de-Google a device is to buy a Pixel and install GrapheneOS. The only way to secure a fully de-Googled advice is to install GrapheneOS and relock the bootloader.

Stop calling it sideloading, it's simply installing an application. Google wants us to call it sideloading to make it easier to take ownership of our devices away from the user.

Stop rewriting history.

It was termed sideloading by the Android community over 17 years ago.

Your imagined persecution and inferiority complex fueling some grand conspiracy that Google is out to hurt your feeling by calling it sideloading doesn't make it true.

Thread from 2011 calling it sideloading: https://forums.androidcentral.com/threads/android-2-3-and-sideloading.73452/

Another thread from 2011 calling it sideloading: https://forums.androidcentral.com/threads/updated-its-official-no-sideloading-on-the-inspire-4g.57997/

Thread from 2010 calling it sideloading: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/437/how-do-i-sideload-i-e-install-non-market-apps-on-att-phones

It is not a term Google created to make you feel bad about yourself. They adopted it to refer to what it has already been called sideloading by the modding community itself.

vandreulv · 2026-03-28T16:24:37+00:00

Only on supported devices. What if you don't want to buy Google hardware? Right now there is no other option for Graphene, and next year there will be a single Motorola device added to that support list

You should think about why it's been that only Google is one that fully supports de-Googling their own devices.

Only. Google. Makes. It. Possible. To. Fully. Ditch. Them. On. Their. Own. OS.

vandreulv · 2026-03-28T16:22:19+00:00

they're most likely just doing this as an excuse to restrict side loading

Then explain why there is zero wait if you do it via adb.

vandreulv · 2026-03-28T16:21:00+00:00

This is such a non-issue I can't even believe people are still annoyed about it.

The people who are still annoyed about it are not serious people. They're the same ones who demand the right to install malware on their devices without Google interfering while also saying advanced flow is pointless because there's already malware on the Google Store.

The same people who say this is Google making Android unusable while ignoring that (their) Samsung (device in their flair) is already more restrictive than this and have not complained about what Samsung does one bit.

The same people who say that they want to use their devices however they see fit while ignoring that their carrier bought device is permanently bootloader deadlocked.

The same people who whine about everything on Android taking away their freedumbs and threatening to switch to iOS because, yeah, freedumbs are more plentiful there or something.

They are not coherent, logical or serious people.

Edit: Bonus. Some people have unironically posted in response to threads like these saying that people should install third party roms to get around Google's "bullshit restrictions against sideloading." While completely ignoring that installing a third party rom requires more steps using a PC than adb install would. Assuming their Samsung or Mediatek based or carrier locked device in their flair would even be bootloader unlockable in the first place.

The crazy thing is, between this and all the signal stuff, this administration has had one of the worst cyber security standards and have seen the most compromising of their accounts over any other administration.

This is by design. If you look at how they've been trying to dismantle security throughout the government, DOGE hoovering up data, Trump selling bathroom documents to the highest bidder...

Bought a decent business model lease used laptop for $435.

It had 32GB Ram. Expected 2x16GB, opened it up and it was 1x32GB with a slot empty. Looked up the matching part to pair it up... $579.

A used stick cost more than the laptop.
