I do this with games. A lot of games dont even really get a demo anymore. So its gambling to buy it…
I pirate the games and if i like it i buy it. Generally ill keep playing the pirated version unless it has a multiplayer i want to play as well.

The “annoyances” filters in ublock stop the cookie popups

Im not a big crypto person, but ive owned some in the past.
Isnt any reputable wallet pretty much the same? From my understanding, especially when using something like monero, the privacy falls apart at the exchange, not the wallet.

I believe so, yes. From my understanding, google blocks custom roms from being able to use the service.

I’ve heard before that with root you can spoof it, but its not easy or convenient.

My experiences come from using Calyx for a couple years in the past and I’ve been using Graphene for a few years as well now.

You lose a couple of things. The main ones have already been mentioned by others (GPay and Android Auto). Theres some other stuff you might miss. Now Playing doesnt work, AI camera features, weather on lock screen, etc.
Most of the stuff you might miss are annoyances, and some can be worked around fully with other apps. Nothing too major. With microG or Sandboxed google play, none of the apps i want/need to use are broken. That wasnt the case even a few years ago on microG, but things have gotten a lot better.

Soulseek to get the music, Musicbrainz Picard to standardize the formatting and fix metadata if it isnt already there

Why not just go with some classic wired closed backs (ex: audio-technica ath-m50x)? They tend to keep a lot of noise out. If ANC is a must, i cant really suggest anything as i find most implementations annoying, but im sure there are wired headphones with ANC.
Seems like going wireless would limit your options A LOT with that 12h requirement

People are right on here, losing weight can make your feet skinnier.
However the fact that you walk barefoot is what caught my attention. Im a barefoot runner, and your feet’s arch becomes more pronounced as you train like that. I assume walking would lead to the same results. So yeah, being barefoot all the time does make your feet smaller, and starting to wear shoes again all the time would make that arch go away over time

Apparently people dont know that whitepapers were not invented by Satoshi 😂

Other than a dummy google account i doubt it

When exactly does it crash? Can you just not launch it? Cause i managed to launch it, create an account and login without any tweaking whatsoever on my Google profile

I dont mind testing it out. Is it the Planet Fitness Workouts app?

Im due for an upgrade and was waiting for this since they announced 7 years of security updates (makes it such a better value than a used 7).
Any of you guys have experience with black friday sales on pixels? I researched a little, and it seems i wouldnt be saving much more than by selling the free buds that come with it rn.
Also damn google theyre offering $55CAD for my 4a 5G

I mainly agree with you, i have enough of 128gb. But i know a lot of people that take a ton of pictures and struggle with storage space

Buying stuff from streamers is actually kind of big in China rn. Think of it like the old as seen on tv ads channels on cable, but now its influencers marketing products on tiktok

Florisboard also has gesture typing, however i rarely use it. I find i make a lot more mistakes than i did swipe typing with gboard

Abigail freaking rules

Used to be a bar person, but at some point it broke on the custom ROM im running for a few updates so i switched. Been using gestures ever since. I like them maybe a lil less because phones are too big, but it feels faster

In my experience, it has great defaults and is quite easy to configure. There were a couple things that annoyed me so ill be waiting a bit to use it over sway, but all in all its ready to daily drive, and its very pretty

THE essential one is ublock origin imo.
Other than that if its a PC i will browse youtube on then sponsorblock and dearrow are both really great
