I haven't felt a need to root a phone in years. These days you will get a usable UI and UX with basically all major brands and adblock can be done without root, so it's just not worth the hassle trying to hide the fact that you're rooted from banking apps etc. At least as far as I'm concerned, I'm sure that some people still see a benefit in rooting.

Edit: I actually just thought of a reason: updates once the phone is past its official support window but otherwise still functional (though you don't technically need root for that, just an unlocked bootloader, the new ROM doesn't need to be rooted either strictly speaking). I'd just buy a new phone, but that really just means I'm a part of the e-waste problem.

Yeah. I paid for Sync Pro and I'd gladly pay again (even though I've pretty much settled for Kbin), but I was expecting something like €4.99 not €21.99. Call me cheap but I'm not doing that.

Which is long overdue. Yeah, it's not exactly inviting "let's spend the day outside" summer weather, but we've effectively had several years of drought, the rain is desperately needed.

The justice is the imprisonment. People are not sentenced to be raped, tortured or murdered by other inmates, and the prison system should go through any and all pains necessary to prevent such things from occurring.

Jesus fucking Christ Lemmy.

Nein, es funktioniert leider tatsächlich. Die angeblich moderate Rechte gewinnt trotz (und vermutlich teilweise sogar wegen) fehlender Abgrenzung von den Faschisten.

The Russians who thought that they'd be welcome in Georgia of all places? Indeed.
