Like I understand that if I buy a phone from Apple, and they control everything on the phone and what I can install - well I mean I bought it from Apple, what else did I expect?

But I didn't buy my phone from Google. They should have no say in what I could or couldn't install.

Your debts will be paid.

They aren't involved in canon setting, at least yet. But there was a period of "hat set" in-universe sets when quality of art and lore of main sets dropped. Although last few were very decent.

Yes, they aren't just reprints under new names now. They are full sets of some IP without in-universe cards to match them. They are cards that likely won't be reprinted ever (because due to IP they don't even own them, can't reprint on-whim). Which means those "The One Ring" and the likes are only gonna grow in price. Heck, even playable commons like "Loriel Revealed".

They also aren't owning rights for digital distribution on some of those IP even and in Magic Arena those cards are replaced with something else in-universe-ish which doesn't exist in paper.

In Magic: the Gathering people are discussing "universe beyond" sets. Those are foreign IPs like Doctor Who, LoTR, Marvel, Fallout, Sonic etc injected into magic, which already had fucking good setting and lore.

It brings them lots of money, at least short term, while destroying the game we love.

So, downvote all the threads?

If they are looking for the ones to blame, jail Merkel. Her sabotage made the country dependent on russian resources while russian invasion was already ongoing.

Shizuku is installing via adb

Shizuku + Obtainium might still be an option.

I grew up in a ~250k pop town which had like 90% of the town in 1h walk from the center. Not something you'll do every day but it definitely simplifies getting home after night parties.

You still use youtube de-facto, just via another app. Besides, there is NewPipe.

This have never been a requirement to be a free software, as you can just fork it.

However it doesn't have a free licence https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay/-/blob/master/LICENSE.md

So yes, it's not FOSS, it's open code.
