I wonder if it’s going to make installing the initial f-droid apk a huge pain though. Since normally you need to just download it in your browser and install it.

running z-library

Would’ve actually gotten him a few votes

I don’t know the current status on this, but it worked by recording your phone’s mac address (or bluetooth address) when your phone scans for wifi networks. So it could track you without you even needing to join the network. AFAIK this particular tactic was countered by Android and IOS randomizing the mac address it sends out (your networking stack can simply lie about it).

Yep… might be a good idea to archive your favorite videos, tutorials, etc before it’s rolled out to everyone

Sadly this approach is very likely impossible to block. It’s much more computationally intensive for google, which is why they haven’t done this in the past, but it is essentially impossible to block if done well.

been doing this for years and at this point I’ve got such a huge backlog it’d take me years to get through it all

Basically when you “move fast and break things” eventually all those broken things catches up to you

Just changed it to 70ch and yea I think I prefer this

I think the only major things would be around the css selectors like footer > * + * {, but it wouldn’t really take too many changes. It basically already works in w3m

Incredible! That’s pretty much what I was gonna say. Might throw this dockerfile in the extras folder.

Yea the hexbear specific stuff basically boils down to the taglines, the emojis, and the header in home.tmpl. There’s quite a few things I could do to make it a lot easier to use for other lemmy instances … there’s not a lot of configuration right now, but I tried to leave a lot of comments in the code.

In general the high end “flagship” devices have unlockable bootloaders, but the devices that the vast majority of people can afford do not. I expect to see a similar thing in laptops. If you can throw down 2-3,000 USD on a new XPS or Thinkpad X1C you’ll likely get the privilege of an unlockable bootloader. For most of the non-US world that’s a huge chunk of everyone (including developers) salaries.
