    I have a Pixel and LineageOS is the best by far. Freedom to root, which I absolutely want… I want full control over my devices. I’m extremely picky about how every little thing runs and works in my phone and I can only get it with root. You can’t get root with GraphenOS without a huge pain in the ass with updates.

    It’s hilarious people install GrapheneOS and think they are better off because Google services are installed as user apps instead of system. You lose as soon as you install them either way. They are getting the data they are after no matter if it’s installed as a user app or system app.

    But anyway, I’ve been running LineagOS since it used to be Cynogenmod over 10 years ago. It’s the most established and reliable while remaining open to customization by far.




  • Have had prime for the last 8 years but it’s too much now. And the constant nagging to get me back on it is annoying enough that I don’t even want to shop there any longer. Not that it’s much better of a company but I’ve switched to ordering shit on Walmart, their online store has mostly the same exact shit that Amazon has on it. If you live close enough to one then you get same day delivery on certain things too with thier Walmart Plus which is their version of prime.

    I unsubscribed after their video on Android TV boxes having malware because it was full of holes. But that was just the straw that broke the camel’s back. Their Linux coverage was atrocious. There were so much flat out wrong with their Linux challenge and much other Linux content. Their stuff on servers and selfhosting was ALWAYS fucking amateur hour. They ran a line between buildings and tested throughput with Windows file manager for fuck’s sake… god forbid they use a real tool like iperf or something.

    I unsubbed a few weeks before the gn video dropped and that was just reaffirmation… and then some. Because I had thought they were at least getting the gamer bro stuff and benchmarks right but apparently they weren’t even doing that correctly. And that’s on top of all the other shit like the anti-union and sexual harassment. That entire channel is a joke, it’s a shame he has so many subs and misleads so many people with misinformation.

    It’s their insecurities dripping through because they deem themselves power users and learn that they don’t actually know shit so they usually very ignorantly and incorrectly put it down. It’s a hard pill to swallow when they realize they are just LTT gamer bro Windows users that struggle to use something my grandma runs.
