I might try it out then. I've heard mixed things on e, something about security patches coming months later than other ROMs, but I see murena claim that they are in line with most android manufacturers, just not as quick as hardened ROMs like graphene. Maybe I'll see this week about swapping over.
It's so ridiculous because they're clearly not terrorists. The fact the police are using the law to arrest people for supporting Palestine generally, or for slogans like "Plasticine Action" just shows they're using it as a nice excuse to suppress dissent because their position on Gaza is indefensible.
I do always get a laugh when these articles talk about Sally Rooney being at risk of being arrested though, as she is an Irish woman living in Ireland who cannot be arrested under UK law unless the British decide to invade County Mayo. Her article in the Irish Times is great at pointing out how selectively the British government is enforcing the terrorism act:
The arrest of a protester in Belfast surely represents a particularly egregious example of political policing. When a storm damaged an infamous loyalist mural in north Belfast last year, rebuilding commenced immediately, and the wall is now once again emblazoned with the iconography of the Ulster Volunteer Force. No arrests were made on that basis, nor has the mural been taken down, though the UVF is a proscribed terrorist organisation responsible for the murders of hundreds of civilians. Palestine Action, proscribed under the same law, is responsible for zero deaths and has never advocated the use of violence against any human being. Why then are its supporters arrested for wearing T-shirts, while murals celebrating loyalist death squads are left untouched? Can the PSNI explain this demonstrably selective enforcement of anti-terror law?
I'm very tempted to get one, at least once there's a lineage build for it, since it will let me finally degoogle completely. Currently on an S24 and even with ADB it's still a nightmare with the phone constantly telling me there's an "issue" with my google account (which doesn't exist anymore) and google services like gemini reinstalling after updates.

I don't remember much innuendo on the sites I played as a child (club penguin, bin weevils) although I've got vague memories that the censoring was so severe you could learn swear words based off seemingly innocent words being blocked out of the chat. The bigger issue at that age was how exploitative some of those sites were with microtransactions and I can only imagine it's gotten worse with the current MMO's for kids.
There was one I briefly played as a child where one of the starting missions was growing something in a garden but if you were a free playing customer you had to plant in the public garden and wait 24 hours, so I'd come back the next day and find someone had stolen the stuff I'd grown and couldn't progress. It was a weird way to learn about wealth inequality and the privileges wealthier kids got at the age of seven.
There was another site advertised on one of the kids TV channels here when I was younger that encouraged kids to sign up and mark off the chores they'd completed and each chore you completed netted you a prize like a trip to Disneyland. What the ad didn't tell us at that young age was that your parents would have to pay for the prizes through the sites affiliate link. I think I was at least mature enough by that stage to understand we'd been had and it wasn't my parents fault but it's crazy that nearly twenty years later the internet's somehow gotten worse for exploiting kids for micro transactions.
That's true. I don't know what the answer is there, but I still think regardless of what the solution is, politicians shouldn't be promising one thing and doing another. Especially to a demographic already so cynical about politics.
The same man who pledged to abolish tuition fees, immediately abandoned that pledge to gain power, tripled them instead, and was then caught afterwards having already scrapped the plan to abolish them internally while still publicly campaigning on it?
However, leaked documents revealed that the Lib Dems had actually planned to abandon their tuition fee pledge before the election even took place.
A month before Clegg promised to get rid of the “dead weight of debt,” senior insiders said the party should “leave” the pledge before entering any negotiations to form a coalition government, saying: “Let us not cause ourselves more headaches.”
That article is an interesting read on how the big three keep lying through their teeth on tuition fees as well. And how the National Union of Students opposed tuition fees for over a decade until the now-health secretary Wes Streeting became their general secretary.
I've tried replacing them with a double hyphen instead, i.e. '--', since it has the same effect but is less likely to look like I'm a bot. It's a shame because I used to always write with them and a comma isn't a perfect substitution.

Been doing some server maintenance the past few days because I've been neglecting them and everything has broken at once, so I may as well infodump on that.
The Raspberry Pi's fan got clogged up with dust and started screaming but with a new fan it is so silent now. It was averaging 57°C for the couple of days with no fan while I waited for the spare part to arrive, 52°C when the broken fan was still in use, and now down to a nice 47°C with a fresh one. My VPN on the pi stopped working as well, but it was easily fixed with PiVPN, and the arr stack on my mini PC stopped working entirely -- it seemed to be a networking issue with the containers under gluetun. But now everything's up and running again and with a bit more storage space from clearing off old docker volumes. Then I've got a pinetime watch coming this week to give me something to tinker with until the new Pebble starts shipping.
The tech secretary is the biggest idiot in our government right now which is really saying something. He doesn't have any professional experience with technology, gets his policy ideas from asking chatgpt, accused anyone who opposes the online safety act of being a paedophile, and when a constituent sent him emails about Palestine he had the police raid her home at 4am.
