Many people argue you have to trade convenience in order to get privacy when it comes to cell phones in the technological world. But can we take a moment to appreciate just how much convenience you can obtain with a privacy-focused ROM I mean think about it, what makes a smartphone? The ability to make phone calls the ability to text message somehow, some way, as well as the ability to access the internet and properly GPS If your phone can do those things, it is absolutely a smart phone by all conceivable metrics.

Many people can play that a completely de-googled phone is simply too frustrating to work with. It's still a far cry away from digital minimalism or monasticism.

Apparently enough to destroy the reputation over it.

I already bought a Prius..... What more do you want from me? You can take my styrofoam plate from my cold dead hands

🤫 Quiet you. You WISH you had a omelette so perfect.

Screw the disro. Where do you buy canned tea that isn't Arizona

Ok fine.... Cubed and in Miso soup 🫣

I just did the seven-day trial, and I personally really like the VPN and the anonymous AI with the advanced models. The only downside is there are limitations. You can only upload one photo per chat, and you can't upload documents for review. But all things considered, it's pretty awesome. I really enjoy it. I probably won't pay for premium, but if I were rich enough, I definitely would.

 

So I just started messing around with the settings in my windows and account tied to it. And good Lord, this thing's just as bad as Android. 😒 ? The thing is literally saving all my inquiries and everything to my Microsoft account. I can't even turn off some of these features as far as trying to stop them. Many privacy settings are also buried all over the place. When did this happen?

No, this texture is not crunchy at all. This is a literally tofu which is simply allowed to drain and dry a little bit, either pressed or blanched for about three minutes. After which it goes into oil, which is about 385 degrees. It literally cooks within one minute, getting that beautiful golden exterior, but it is not crunchy. Crunchy tofu can be really gross the way Americans do it. They will literally dry it to beef jerky levels or put a stupid amount of corn starch on it. And so, yeah, it's crunchy, but it's nasty.

Hands down, I am absolutely convinced after years of eating tofu that deep frying it is the standard way to go. This is why any time you go to Chinese, take out, or Thai food, wherever, in order the tofu, it's been cubed and deep fried, exactly like in this photo. You then simply swap it into whatever dish you want as the protein. The texture is really nice. It's like firm meaty chunks of food. But it isn't crunchy. This way mimics actual meat in terms of texture, but it needs sauce of some kid as its essentially flavorless.

Can someone explain it to me the privacy hobbyist? Why is this a concern? What exactly am I missing out on?

 

I assume virtually everyone in this place is using some third party ROM. Many of you probably rocking Banana ROM off your Alcatel z657 bought at Boost Mobile in 2012.

But is there any simpleton here like myself who is on stock android? You know, the middle age dude who has "Privacy" as a hobby because he can't afford or have time for a real one. 😶‍🌫️
