I've been sitting on this for a while waiting until it was topical but I'm kind of running out of time now that it's Gawr Gurover so it's time to just hit send

I once met John Waters at a videostore in California in 2002. My coworker was a huge fangirl and he treated us like we were some celebrity talk show hosts. John if you lurk here and happened to find our weird little corner of the internet I love you man.

We recently launched HopeToken (YAMB), a community crypto project built on the BNB Smart Chain. The goal is simple: use crypto to help people in crisis — war victims, children in extreme poverty, people in disaster zones.

What makes us different? We don’t ask for wallet connections, logins, or complicated steps. Donations go directly to a transparent wallet address. From there, we send aid through trusted local contacts on the ground — in places like Africa and some parts of Asia — where even $5 can make a big difference.

We’re not a massive organization. We’re a small group who’ve seen these crises firsthand. That’s why every donation counts and goes directly to food, clean water, school supplies, or emergency health help.

We’re just getting started and need support from people who believe crypto can do more than just pump coins. If you want to help, follow the project or donate at hopeyamb.help

Let’s show the world what crypto can do for real people.

I recently bought an HMD Skyline because it is supposed to be a European brand and I tried to degoogle it as far as possible. I am not logged in on my Google account and use alternatives for all applicable apps.

Fact is, that some Google services are impossible to get rid of, such as file manager, photos etc...

Besides this the HMD Skyline's software really sucks. It constantly crashes or my navigation bar stops working. Throwing it out feels like a step too far as it is a relatively new phone and it is just creating more e-waste.

To hopefully strike two birds with 1 stone, I would like to install a custom non-google-ROM.

I believe the bootloader for the HMD skyline is unlockable these days, so that would remove the first obstacle. But my question is: are there any custom ROMs available for the Skyline? And to make the question a bit broader: can any device be flashed with a custom ROM or should a ROM be developed specifically per device type?

Any insights are appreciated!

This Short from [ProShorts 101] shows us how to make an incandescent light bulb from a jar, a pencil lead, two bolts, and a candle.

Prepare the lid of the jar by melting in two holes to contain the bolts, you can do this with your soldering iron, but make sure your workspace is well ventilated and don’t breathe the fumes. Install the two bolts into the lid. Take a pencil lead and secure it between the two bolts. Chop off the tip of a candle and glue it inside the lid. Light the candle and while it’s burning cover it with the jar and screw on the lid. Apply power and your light bulb will glow.

The incandescent light bulb was invented by Thomas Edison and patented in patent US223898 in 1879. It’s important to remove the oxygen from the bulb so that the filament doesn’t burn up when it gets hot. That’s what the candle is for, to burn out all the oxygen in the jar before it’s sealed.

Of course if you want something that is energy efficient you’re going to want an LED light bulb.

A campaign started in 2018 by Safeguard Defenders, a human rights organization focused on China, revealed how the Chinese police use threats and fear to coerce scripted confessions for television. In 2021, it led to a ban on broadcasts of the international arms of China’s state TV (CGTN and CCTV-4) in several countries, including the UK, Australia and a number of European nations.

After 2020 China's forced televised confessions of foreigners ceased, except for those of Taiwanese citizens.

But now, it appears they’re back at it again.

[...]

On April 3, domestic channel CCTV-13 and the international Chinese-language channel CCTV-4 broadcast the forced confessions of three Filipino expats living in China.

The two young men and one young woman are accused of espionage, something which the Philippine government vehemently denies.

The CCTV-4 broadcast (which includes one of the confessions) was aired internationally, including in Canada, where our long-term regulatory complaint on the use of such forced televised confessions remains pending before the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). The renewed airing of forced confessions, abusive and harmful content, is yet another clear violation of the terms and conditions of CCTV-4’s continued broadcasting license in Canada.

Now, Filipino authorities and TV providers face the same issue, as the illegal forced televised confessions of their compatriots were broadcast on their own soil.

[...]

CCTV-4 is broadcast in the Philippines through SKY Cable Corporation. In its public values statement, the pay television and broadband arm of ABS-CBN highlights its commitment to “serving the Filipino”. It claims to uphold a customer service that drives the company “to treat Filipinos as our Kapamilyas (e.g. ‘family’) whose interest is put above all”.
