I haven't used Soulseek in 2 decades. IMO, this sort of behaviour is not legit.

Google had a privacy chief?

What exactly was he doing? Jacking off Pichai?

Android OS updates have been somewhat lackluster since Android 8/9. The OS and smartphones in general are increasingly becoming mature products with little true differentiation.

They will try to leverage "AI" to accelerate upgrade cycles, but we'll see how that goes.

Yeah, I can't imagine using a smartphone without a custom launcher and file explorer.

Yeah, the employees definitely don't give a shit about ethical AI or any of those PR talking points. They only care about their vested shares.

I agree with your general idea, but a16z is almost as well known as "Andreessen Horowitz", it's by this point their brand name.

Not just backing crypto, but actually taking part in crypto pump and dumps (they deny this, but that doesn't mean anything).

It's been a while since I used custom android kernels or even LineageOS (last used it on my Mi A1), but regarding this point:

However, I am unsure if I build LineageOS 21 with one of these custom kernels if I will be required to build each update with the custom kernel, or if the updater would update my build.

I believe you will need to stick to the kernel branch that you are on (i.e. wait for the maintainer to push out a new kernel), I don't think there will be any automatic patching that would account for kernel customization.

Apologies if I behind times and I made a mistake regarding the point above. :)

GSMArena | Sony Xperia 10 VI review ( www.gsmarena.com )

Got to agree with the conclusion of the review, while this seems like a decent offering (and I personally like the "retro" look), for Є400, you might as well get a A55 with a much better screen and probably longer security support (Android OS updates aren't that important these days).

While I am a big supporter of having the headphone jack (I see no reason to have another device requiring charging), I feel like this is one smartphone feature that unfortunately doesn't stand a chance to survive in the future (I think SD card support has a somewhat better chance, but I could be wrong).

But yes, the headphone jack is a good differentiator relative to the A55.

I am also betting they will bounce back; hopefully this is indeed a good opportunity to buy the stock for cheap.

Why the /s though? :)

I wonder how this compares to the Protonmail app. I use Thunderbird on desktop, might check this out if I have time.

On Windows, Thunderbird requires the Protonmail Bridge application, it's pretty easy to setup. I wonder if this is even possible on Android.
