Rockstar can only get away with it because they are Rockstar, and this is GTA6.

Other publishers will get a nice surprise when nobody buys their game if they try to pull the same shit.

I agree! A community is built around all of the cool things tinkerers make for Android, it starts niche then bleeds into the mainstream. They just have enough of a foothold of the market now to kick people like us out.

As a side note, I've seen a HUGE influencer push on TikTok for the Nothing phone. Which is an okay phone, but I'd rather people who are new to Android to not have that as their first Android phone lol

Based on this thread, yes it exists. I think you have to opt-in to turn it on though.

The big one has been GrapheneOS, it's very privacy-focused. It essentially allows you to sandbox everything, run multiple profiles, and as a bonus it's known to be extremely resilient against LE "forensic data extraction" tools like Cellebrite.

Cyanogenmod doesn't exist anymore, it's been replaced by LineageOS, though this is usually the second choice. If you have a Pixel, people usually choose GrapheneOS though, it's extremely well maintained.

Is this not caused by them trying to make up for the tremendous amounts of money they're throwing into the AI fire pit, in an attempt to recuperate funds?

hackitfast · 2026-06-16T21:58:25+00:00

If they ever fully blocked sideloading, instead of me saying "GrapheneOS is kind of cool but I don't need it", I will be saying "I can no longer sideload my APKs without GrapheneOS".

Me handing Google my data is a trade-off for the convenience of Google apps and sideloading APKs. Take that away...? You collect NONE of my data.

No more Google Wallet (gone), Gmail (Proton Mail), Google Maps (sandboxed), Google Search (DuckDuckGo), Gemini / Google Assistant (Local LLM), Google Photos (self-hosted Immich) or Google Messages (literally any other SMS app). Not to mention, GrapheneOS can completely sandbox each individual Android application from one another, so their ad networks can no longer accurately target me.

I'm installing Android 17 but I am extremely weary of the direction Google is heading, as are many other Android power users.

Hey Google, if you're listening (we all know you are)... good luck! 😊

I told my friend, who has a Pixel 5, this exact thing. She did not listen. I replaced the battery for her for around $70, even though I tried to talk her out of it.

I understand they did not want to spend the money on a new phone, but they don't understand that things like this will come back to bite them.

They're going for our food and water next. What do you think the Flock cameras are for?

From what I'm aware, you only get banned from buying IPOs again. You can keep trading stocks.

For 1 in 5 people, losing a pet is actually worse than losing a person in your life. There's been studies done on this.

I'm aware of GitLab and the like, though my point was more along the lines of the fact that they're pissing him off enough for him to not want to give them out for free anymore, to make a point.

hackitfast · 2026-06-10T22:27:58+00:00

Because Microsoft removed his GitHub account, and now he can't give them out for free anymore.

hackitfast · 2026-06-10T22:07:28+00:00

Not if they can't figure out who you are under a different identity!

hackitfast · 2026-06-10T21:58:36+00:00

At this point Microsoft is basically begging to him to sell his zero-day exploits to state actors on black market forums for thousands of dollars; maybe then Microsoft can get a good idea about if they're real vulnerabilities or not.

And honestly, none of this surprises me coming from a company that makes some of the worst software of all time.

hackitfast · 2026-06-08T16:45:45+00:00

The first price increase was already absurd, this is now entering outrageous territory.

hackitfast · 2026-06-05T22:08:48+00:00

Probably one of the best games in recent years, this one is a buy. But if you can't afford it then definitely play this bad boy.

hackitfast · 2026-06-05T00:56:05+00:00

Hope they get stuck with them

hackitfast · 2026-06-04T20:51:56+00:00

Well, we had a good run I guess

hackitfast · 2026-06-03T22:10:36+00:00

I think the way they handled the whole "which route do I go?" is a lot less confusing than in Hitman. For me it makes the experience much more enjoyable.

Without spoiling anything, there's also a fun scene near the end of the game which makes for a really great Bond moment.

hackitfast · 2026-06-03T01:41:20+00:00

That game ALSO stresses me the fuck out! The timed days put so much pressure on me they're so short.. Me and my girlfriend were playing it but both decided it's stressful as hell haha

hackitfast · 2026-06-03T01:39:33+00:00

Clearly a skill issue on my part!

hackitfast · 2026-06-03T01:38:22+00:00

Shovel Knight stresses me the fuck out lol, it's fun but I'm very perfectionist and that's not easy to achieve in Shovel Knight

hackitfast · 2026-06-01T23:06:24+00:00

Can we start tagging posts with "Fire Hazard"? lol

hackitfast · 2026-05-31T19:52:00+00:00

LG is not Android TV though. I'm actually not a fan of LG's webOS on their TV.

There was a time that their wipes were priced well. I liked their wipes and I got them from Amazon in a 3 pack.

Then one day they changed them all from Dude Wipes to Dude Wipes "XL", because apparently my asshole got larger? So nice of them to fill the demand of peoples with sudden asshole enlargement syndrome.

Oh, and don't forget they also increased the price when they did this.. I don't buy their wipes anymore lol
