I'll admit I didn't read it. I fell into the typical trap of reacting only to the headline. Doesn't change the fact that recent releases have been rather underwhelming while feeling increasingly resource hungry. Every new release seems more sluggish for very little improvement in my experience.

How about taking your time and releasing it when it's ready? Stop picking dates right after the last release and just make something good again.

Try Firefox or Mull on android with uBlock origin set to medium mode. Most of the popups and paywalls never show for me.

Do keep in mind this can break some sites and need you to change settings for those sites.

Obviously depends on just how bad your eyes are.

But, one nice thing is, as the resolution (eyesight) gets worse, everything becomes blurry and smooth rather than blurry and pixelated like videos.

At this point I'm pretty sure it's bots all the way down. And whatever isn't a bot is someone pretending to be someone else or some other BS.

None of us are (hopefully). Doesn't make the joke any less funny to our 12 year old senses of humour.

No worries, just having some fun.

Speak for yourself. I didn't get a damn thing lol

It exists, but I'm pretty sure it's not the media player you remember so fondly.

These days, I'm just using Audacious with the default Winamp skin from the Winamp Skin Museum. It scratches the itch well enough.

I've used WhatsApp on unlocked bootloaders for years. What isn't working?

Also, I think DivestOS allows locking the bootloader in some cases.

This is the correct answer. The massgravel github also has a link to a page with official ISOs.

Personally, as a noob myself, I enjoy reading about others' experiece when they switch. No idea why. Just fun to read usually.
