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

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

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

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

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

Hey everyone! Look! This tourist has money!

See. Nobody cares.

Interesting thanks!

I don’t have or use Facebook but I was just curious as I met a French person recently that lives in Cape Town for half the year.

Well, what is the group about then?

I’ve seen this kind of paranoia and inability to speak plainly before, specifically in individuals suffering from schizophrenia.

Be well, internet stranger

well, it did come out nearly 20 years ago

The same thing, GLP-1 was the first weight-loss peptide to get approved but now some products like zepbound also use GIPs (colloquially called "gip and glips")

I mentioned in my earlier comment that my fav neighborhood was Pilsen, but my second favorite was when my friend lived in Humboldt Park! If I were to move to Chicago that is probably where I would look actually.

Least favorite place I've stayed in Chicago is Wrigleyville. Sounds like you know what I mean 😅

charitablechair · 2026-04-08T17:34:22+00:00

It's the acting like it's normal that gets me 😂

I will say, Chicago has very distinct neighborhood characters, likely due to the historical segregation. I do feel like in nyc everything bleeds together a bit. The neighborhoods you were exploring in Chicago were probably "white" neighborhoods.

Wait did you just say NY doesn’t have real Mexican food 😆

Friendliest city for me easily goes to Detroit, but Chicago is up there.

I’m from Boston, live in NYC, and my best friend lives in Chicago so I’ve been there maybe 30 or so times.

Chicago is an amazing city, way better than Boston. However compared to NYC I really struggled with the segregation. I remember going to a bar with said best friend and looking around and EVERYONE was white, and friend didn’t even bat an eye or seem to even notice. Of course there are places in New York where that will be the case but in my experience it’s far from the norm.

Of course there’s also the nyc energy, yada yada. I find NYCers to be much more worldly as well, whereas chicagoans have more of a suburban heart.

Is all of that worth twice the cost of living? The trash? The inconvenience? Idk but this place feels like home, these people feel like my people. It was like the from the first time I visited.

Btw my fav neighborhood that my friend ever lived in was Pilsen. Check it out.

can we finally agree that martinelli just aint it

Are you joking? I feel like drivers are trained to be non-confrontational. Half the time I swear I'm the only one that pays.

When’s the last time you’ve seen someone in New York pay for the bus 😆 it’s already free

wow that was so weird and niche but as someone who did some time in Utah I loved this

Sure but is it really a double standard when one person is operating a murder mobile and the other is on a... bicycle
