A pardon can't even be considered until 5 years after any criminal sentence is completed. The talk of changing the Georgia Constitution to allow the governor to pardon Trump would required Democratic support and is not going to happen.

Grand jury identities are public information in Georgia.

The purpose of my first Oneplus phone purchase years ago was that OxygenOS worked just fine without dealing with custom ROMs, but ColorOS's bugs are so severe I'll end up having to load Lineage or an AOSP distribution. Hopefully Google will sort out enough of the bugs by the next version to make a Pixel a good choice.

I have a 9Pro that was really great on Oxygen OS 11. Then ~~Oneplus~~ Oppo dumped ColorOS 12 and 13 crapware on us and T-Mobile forced upgrades.

The bugs in ColorOS often make the phone unusable. ALL my program icons regularly are just missing from the screen when the phone's unlocked and it only shows the wallpaper. The display either won't shut off or shuts off while I'm using it. The fingerprint reader icon randomly disappears when trying to use it or just doesn't show up at all. I hope I never have to dial 911 with this POS because there's a good chance I won't be able to.

The hardware's fine but that makes no difference at all without a usable OS, and there is no way Oppo is going fix anything. Last Oneplus phone I buy.

Yep. I was on Reddit for more than 10 years and provided content regularly. Paying $5 or so a month to access the site using Sync would have been OK, but there's no way I'm going to use their crappy app and be inundated by ads while they suck up data from my phone.

IMO Reddit has lost a big stream of easy income from people like me who would have been long-term subscribers. Instead the BS they've pulled in the last couple of months have pushed me to delete all my posts and comments and leave the site completely.

I use Linux wherever I can and after spending years trying different distros I've always come back to Mint. Although I enjoy tinkering with new user interfaces, spending time fixing problems instead of actually using the OS eventually got old. Once set up Mint works for years without a hiccup.

Microsoft's telemetry, increasing invasiveness pushing ads, and general dumbing down of their OS so it's usable for people who don't know what to do when they reach the edge of the mouse pad has gotten ridiculous.

Microsoft's intent to move Windows to the cloud should make more people question using it. Despite having to pay for Windows it seems Microsoft has decided that we're what's actually for sale, not the operating system.
