   Thinking about something.
   I wonder what the percentage of women running adblock is.
   I'll bet you it's close to 0%

     @0 thinking about all this ad injection stuff with youtube and the reason normies put up with it. One reason being is that if you have a family/gf whatever, they are generally not indignant about stuff like that. If you are, or go out of your way to block them, it "gives them the ick" so localized social pressure ends up making you just accept it.
     
     That got me thinking, I don't think I've ever seen a woman running adblocker period, even though doing so is incredibly easy.

     @pyrate @RustyCrab @0 @The_Almighty_Kek "Sideloading" as a term has the same implications as "wrongspeak", implying that there should be a single approved way of getting code to run on your computing device.
     luithe repeated this.

     It's actually less neutered. The only thing that sucks is if you need a ZOGware compliant app (something that requires Google Play or an account). People are moving away from releasing apps on GPlay though. Since people have been sideloading a new ROM onto their phone, there has been a demand for independent app stores.
     
     Fortunately there are not many of those I care to run.
     
     All of the apps I use or care to keep serve some kind of purpose.

     I had to settle for the PIxel 8 and install GrapheneOS.
     
     It's the most normie tier decoy compatible with my niche needs.

     How is GrapheneOS? How neutered is your phone without the jewgle tentacles?

     I just want to carry the latest iPhone, except trash iOS and use something else.
     
     I now enjoy subtle autism experience.
     
     People will simply notice no ads and I just say "Yea I can afford to pay for it."

     @pyrate @0 I considered getting a "decoy iPhone" to look like a normie but then I decided I don't care

     I sort of agree, but you probably do need some term to describe getting apps from unofficial sources.

     @childrapist1488 @0 @The_Almighty_Kek @pyrate @mint I've never had a particular issue with the term side loading, since it's effectively describing a workaround that you're doing to get around Google's bullshit.
     
     I DO have an issue with the term "alt tech". Jared Taylor put it best with "being healthy is not an alternative to being sick"

     @RustyCrab @childrapist1488 @0 @The_Almighty_Kek @pyrate To be completely fair, the "workaround" has been to just check a single box in settings since 2008 and it hasn't changed much, at least yet. Apple does a whole lot more bullshit.

     @childrapist1488 @RustyCrab @0 @The_Almighty_Kek @pyrate AOSP is a base for everything, not just custom roms. Developers can mark a package installer as privileged, be it Play or some Huawei store, but that's their pejorative.

     Yes, if you bought the device in full from the manufacturer, they have to provide the OEM unlocking codes.
     
     It voids certain warranties and puts a stain on your baseband modem. Meaning if you're going to do this, hook your phone up to a carrier before unlocking it. This way your access to that carrier isn't blocked when you do the unlocking. Otherwise they can just not accept your phone, and you're left with a wifi-only burner phone.

     Also, any phone you purchase through a carrier can't be unlocked because now they are certified models. Meaning that if you try to go to the prompt and enter the token it will fire back "Your device is not elligible" or something to this effect.
     
     Because it was resold by the carrier or worse, rolled into a "lease to own" ToS with your service plan.

     @pyrate @RustyCrab @childrapist1488 @0 @The_Almighty_Kek Carrier locks never caught up here, lately majority of phones are even sold exclusively in dual-SIM variant. Some can be unlocked, some (mostly chinkshit like Oppo and Honor) can't.

     Indeed, I loved the term jail breaking for the time it was still relevant.
     
     In a way it is kind of what I have to deal with. Even though vendors are now legally required to hand over the unlock codes for their products when prompted.

     I hate carrier phones. I had a Verizon one once, and I hated having their "flavor" baked into the OS. I just buy phones from the manufacturer. Most of the time, if you can't afford the full price all at once and still want to make payments, you can get a simple line of credit from Google or Apple and get 0% interest for a year or two. Doesn't cost you a dime more and you're still not in a contract with a carrier.

     Yea, I'd do this with an iPhone if I could flush iOS.
