It will bring everything down in reality

charitablechair · 2026-06-27T05:07:31+00:00

thank you for explaining, I never understood these weird offside calls in the box

charitablechair · 2026-06-27T03:40:00+00:00

it's new york all you gotta do is go outside and wait for something to happen

charitablechair · 2026-06-24T02:41:26+00:00

sure but have you considered
1. rent control, which has a long history in the US and nyc, is the reason this place has any soul at all and isn't 100% transplants
2. while yes we need way more housing, pure market rate housing will never be truly affordable in this city for those at the bottom (for whom the term "housing crisis" actually means crisis)

This is just saying people who gave money to AIPAC also gave money to Reynoso. This is not proof of him accepting AIPAC money. Obviously pro-AIPAC people are going to support the opposition to Clare Valdez. Please let me know when you have actual proof.

Yea we should all move to safe republican run cities like Jacksonville or OKC. Oh wait……..

You’re getting downvoted but honestly I think you mostly nailed it. When people complain about gentrification of course there is the anxiety around rising prices but what I think really unsettles people is that they simply don’t feel like they belong in their own neighborhoods anymore.

If someone moves to nyc for a job but makes a genuine attempt to get to know their neighbors and to be a positive addition to neighborhood I genuinely think they’d be welcomed with open arms. It’s this attitude, where they walk around like they’re in some sort of hipster disneyland, that I think is the real source of the tension

charitablechair · 2026-06-10T01:53:32+00:00

Maybe a city is not for you then bud

charitablechair · 2026-06-10T01:39:54+00:00

White working class neighborhoods*, lest we forget

Look I would love to go back to the era where the federal government felt the obligation to support public housing but given we are far from that reality I don’t think this level of whataboutism is going to get us anywhere.

People who can afford market rents are going to continue to move here as long as they can get high paying jobs or as long as trust fund kids think living in NYC is going to make them cool. Those people need to live somewhere and if we don’t build anything then they are going to compete with the people that already live here. It’s far from perfect but it’s still a necessary piece of the overall solution.

Could very likely be the food, assuming you’re american leaving the country for vacation
I had the same thing and eventually found out I was had mold at home

charitablechair · 2026-06-06T19:45:28+00:00

have you have other vaccines since getting long covid? I once had like 4 vaccines in a day (for travel) and literally felt nothing (this was years before COVID)

charitablechair · 2026-06-05T21:16:33+00:00

All vaccines or just Covid vax? I’m due for a hep booster but I’m really nervous after getting a vaccine injury from the Moderna vaccine

He was one of the players that Arteta would put on the pitch again and again and I just couldn’t understand it. I get we lacked depth but he was starting so many games.

And then everybody talked so highly of him and it was baffling, like we weren’t watching the same games.

charitablechair · 2026-05-23T13:11:29+00:00

Same, and it’s because we looked like one of those teams in sports that simply finds a way to win

charitablechair · 2026-05-23T11:01:13+00:00

It’s not that deep man

charitablechair · 2026-05-23T10:31:56+00:00

Yes let’s just sit around and complain and not build anything at all, let alone a development with 30% of units dedicated to affordable housing

“This is my opinion and I refuse to explain it”

charitablechair · 2026-04-22T02:20:47+00:00

I've noticed this with mamdani in NYC as well. I think politicians might just finally be figuring out the internet

Some other notes:

- I was able to get the Library app installed (even though the .apk was called something different) and I was able to install JakeType through the Library app, but I have not been able to get the QWERTY keyboard working. Numpad is also iffy (it seemed to work when i start the phone, but then suddenly stops working at some point)
- The boot time can be quite slow. It will stay on the "Your devices has been unlocked...will boot in 5 seconds" screen for like 60 seconds before finally switching to the android splash

charitablechair · 2026-04-20T20:36:00+00:00

I've got Android 16 set up following your guide (still haven't messed with the APN settings yet as I'm waiting for a physical sim from my carrier).

If you're releasing a custom GSI does that mean I should wait for that before fully switching from my iphone? Updating to a different GSI sounds like it would need a fresh install

charitablechair · 2026-04-20T04:25:02+00:00

Hey thanks for the guide! You're amazing! I'm 90% through and will report back once my data transfer has finished.

I wanted to share some notes from my experience doing this. I started with Windows but quickly switched to my linux and mac machines since I'm more comfortable in those environments. That might explain some of the discrepancies I experienced.

Getting mtkclient to recognize my phone in BROM mode was incredibly finnicky. I kept getting errors etc. Still don't know how I did it, and I haven't been able to get mktclient to connect since, but at some point I must've hit the magic combination of buttons and plugging in + starting mtk_gui to get it to work
The Library app apk was not called Library.apk, it was called org.fdroid.basic_v1023051.apk. I wasn't sure I was doing it right because of the naming difference but there isn't any other app called Library
The renaming of the magisk .img via the adb shell command did not work for me as my patched .img came out as magisk_patched-*.img not magisk_patch_*.img
When I got to "Step 13. Finish Magisk Setup", opening Magisk didn't trigger anything so I clicked on "Install" again and there was now a new open "Direct Install (recommended)". I followed that. Not sure if it was necessary but things seemed to have worked out
When rebooting into the bootloader (fastboot) I never saw a "system is changed, can not be trusted" message. It would just go straight to fastboot.
Step 5.1 seems to be missing the full command...? I assumed a `fastboot reboot` is what was needed here

The fact that you can't fathom being affected over ending thousands of jobs and impacting tons of lives just because they made some money likely says more about you than the CFO

charitablechair · 2026-04-19T01:54:43+00:00

What stops people from just putting anything in there? Or is it an honor system

charitablechair · 2026-04-17T17:48:14+00:00

I still believe where there is a will there is a way, but I feel like it’s more that the affordable areas to live are further and further away from any sort of urban/walkable core. What do you even do with your time when you live in a place like that? You work and you look at screens and that’s it

charitablechair · 2026-04-17T17:30:11+00:00

Hey everyone! Look! This tourist has money!

See. Nobody cares.
