That was a great feeling--taking something locked in, programmed, something that used intentionally deceptive description and design, and finding a way to make it your own. To, basically, break the deceptive design and make the device better by "breaking" it.

When I rooted my first Android phone I felt that way. It's a shame how much of the computing power in phones is used for nothing but harvesting our data and profiting from our use of the computer.

There's so much more we need to break now.

it's very sad to me that I won't be rooting my next phone because of play integrity API. At least ADB is here to stay.... right?
