A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Pi-hole and a vpn on my phone keeps me ad free everywhere, and with extensions on firefox on pc and andriod it keeps other annoyances that aren't ads away
AdAway says it's blocked 200K advertisers since I got my new phone less than a month ago.
I don't love the Pixel 7a's size or battery life, but I can't go to a phone I can't root. Call recording and AdAway are non-negotiable.
I also needed root to get LineageOS-style "hold hardware button to activate flashlight" to work. I could live without that, but it would be very annoying not to have a flashlight instantly when I need it. I activate that all the time.
