Give Lemmy a chance to surge when the next league hype starts. There's a lot to be gained; switching from Reddit to Lemmy would a boon to the community the way the wiki migration from Fandom to community-run was.

Surely LineageOS and similar projects will continue to maintain their own, open source version of the dialer and whatever else gets dropped from AOSP.

LineageOS is great even without root, but I still recommend using Magisk on it for system-wide ad blocking (via e.g. AdAway) if nothing else.

A banking app may have a simple root check, or a SafetyNet check. You can use shamiko and safetynet-fix respectively to fool these, both have already been linked.

What exactly are we looking at here?

The are ways to make almost all banking apps work on a rooted, even de-googled, phone. See here: https://lemmy.world/post/683341

Kyoukai no Kanata ED drops even more powerfully in the film version.

Is the baking soda T-shirt non-canon, as in just a nod from the author/director to the reader/viewer? I don't see how it would make sense plot-wise, Kana putting it on would be a sign of wholesomeness and friendship with Ruby which really doesn't fit when Kana recently threatened to punch Ruby in the jaw, and is herself feeling down for Aquatic reasons.

poe.social sounds nice, and anything short and sweet (one word followed by TLD) will do, really.

There are good things to be said about the Ally, but I find the soon-to-be-released GPD handhelds more interesting. Both are officially stated to support SteamOS (which means plain Arch and possibly other distros should also work great) and offer something different from the Deck and Ally in that the GPD Win4 is much more compact, and the GPD Max 2 has a much larger display.

Consider emulating on a PC. Chances are the games you're interested in will run perfectly on RPCS3, and you'll have one fewer device to manage.

Try sorting by daily top as a workaround until this gets properly fixed.

My OnePlus 6 is just short of 4 full years of use, with LineageOS of course. It's been great and I'd keep it for another few years if I were able to buy a new, genuine replacement battery; all the vendors I see offering one are dubious. The OP6 has excellent hardware for the price I paid for it back in 2019, excellent software thanks to LineageOS support, all while having Dual SIM/microSD (shared slot, used for second SIM by me) and a headphone jack. Earlier, my daily driver was a OnePlus X which I was also happy with for the same reasons. Now that 4 years of battery wear are pushing me towards replacement, I will jump ship only because newer OnePlus phones have impractical display aspect ratios, way too long and narrow for my needs; I consider a phone's display to be as good as the largest 16:9 rectangle that can fit into it.

Lovely show so far, but I'll be a bit disappointed if Miyo never develops any supernatural powers. Her being talentless was an important initial plot device, but now it's been cashed in so I hope she gets a magic of her own to match her fiance and archrival.

It's mostly torrents that are dangerous without a VPN, since as a torrent user you're also redistributing the content in question, and the peer-to-peer nature of them makes you very visible to copyright trolls.

Direct download is generally much safer. Specifics vary by jurisdiction, but in many countries merely downloading (or streaming) a pirated copy of a game or film is not a criminal offense, and is not in practice vulnerable to a civil lawsuit either.

Avoid torrents, know good direct download sites (these will vary by what content you're interested in, look around using various search engines to get around DMCA delistings), use rudimentary privacy protections like private DNS and HTTPS-only mode in your browser, and you'll get far without a VPN.

Tor is also a powerful, free option, but it's generally overkill for non-torrent piracy and very hard to configure for torrents.

This show is so well-made.

Yup, it's a much welcome respite, but I'll spend all of it farming upgrades for my core units because I don't trust Hoyo to not pull another 3.7 on us soon. Won't hurt to be fully prepared.

Spy Kyoushitsu 2nd cour. First one was fun, especially in the "manor" arc that concluded it. Other than that, I have high hopes for Zom 100, since it gives off Zombieland Saga vibes and that series had no shortage of great scenes in either season.

After five years of dual booting, I ditched windows for good in 2022 and it's proven to have been an excellent decision. Managing two systems is way more of a hassle than the occasional (and increasingly rare) hiccup in running a game on Linux.

The odds stack up rapidly. 80 pulls total is pretty common, 85 could be called unlucky.

I do play with a controller (Steam Deck) often, but K&M is king for me. I can't imagine clearing the current abyss on anything but K&M. The convenience of mouse look and the responsiveness of keyboard movement are awesome. On a side note, the Steam Deck's grip buttons are very nice, enabling character switching without letting go of the left stick, and the touch screen comes in handy for menuing and actions such as gadget use.
