Circling back to tech, I’ve been playing around with Android since December 2008 and rooted my first device (the HTC Dream a.k.a. T-Mobile G1) that next month. I've recently stopped rooting Android because Google's been locking down the OS more and more over the years. I miss being able to hack apart a ROM, take out framework-res.apk, redo the icons, slap it back together, and have an OS that _looks_ like my own.

And speaking of Linux, I've been using that off and on from 2010 until Microslop first announced Recall in June 2024, when I moved off of Windon't and used Linux full-time since then. I was REALLY amused when the whole "Crowdstrike" thing happened a month after that. My main machine is a ThinkPad T480 and my backup/experimental one is a T450. Both machines currently run Arch due to slop approved in most distros. long thread/9
