It's not that easy to steer clear of. I've bought a couple of books on other topics from Amazon and realized when they arrived that they weren't worth the cost of the paper they were printed on. It's easy enough to notice it's bullshit, it's harder to avoid spending money and time on them in the first place.

Instead of trimming it back, how about putting into a larger container? I'd bet that the roots are running out of space.

Howard Stern already did it.

Seconding sync. You can also turn off NSFW in the filters, I toggle that when I'm going to be browsing in public spaces. Alternatively you can have multiple accounts and set the filter on on one and off on the other.

Did you write this commentary? I lost count of the wrong words and other nonsense.

Does no one grammar check or edit articles before publishing anymore?

I don't believe that for a second. Some specific apps are only on one platform or the other but every app has a ton of alternatives that do the exact same thing.

I'm not sure if you are trolling, shilling, astroturfing, whatnot but either way that argument is disingenuous at best.

That wasn't an attack on you specifically. Most people don't need to know nor care if they can unlock the bootloader. We need some kind of federal mandate/law/whatever that says that they have to be unlocked and people can do what they want with the $1k+ devices they buy. It's not even a question with a pc, you can even buy prebuilt systems with no OS or with linux installed if you choose.

This is why I have been a so called Google fanboy/super fan for what feels like a couple of decades. First nexus and now pixel because I'm guaranteed to be able to install whatever flavor of android exists for whatever phone I am using (if I so choose), I haven't played with roms in years but it's an option if I feel like it and I'm considering doing it for my work phone, get that shit running as lean as possible, no need for 99% of the Google apps that come with it.

But, that wasn't your only choice for a device. Android runs on basically anything and you have plenty of options for devices that let you do what you want with it.

Basically, the bootloader being locked is a manufacturer problem and not an android problem. Buy a different phone, smartphones have fully matured at this point. Grab a pixel 7 or 7 pro for a couple of hundred bucks and make that device your biotch.

This is why I never had anything more than an original ipod classic. Android let's you do whatever the fuck you want with your own device. Don't like having Google all over your phone? You can install roms with no Google services and use other app stores.

This is the sad truth. His followers will keep sending him money regardless of what he has done or gets convicted of. It will only stop when his entire organization is shut down and everyone around him is either in jail or banned from raising funds like this.

I don't think that's what they are talking about. Police forces used to have walking beats and the officers on those beats knew the entire neighborhood. The presence of authority tends to slow down some forms of crime.
