Any of them rich enough to vacation in the Maldives are rich enough to have left and divested of the place
What???
What free healthcare? And even if they have that, that doesn’t pay for food, shelter, etc…
Okay can we at least get him out of jail? Why bother answering if your answer will be so stupid.
Just don’t take the boxes with you. You came over with all that capiche?
Easy enough to do for personal electronics. Just don’t bring the box with you… Unbox it there, if asked about it say you’ve always had it.
Wait why do people want escape there???
I like the backspace there like Colemak has. I can do Fn-Backspace(capslock) to activate Caps Lock but that’s something I added to my Keyboard separately.

They were never defending anything. Their victims just decided to fight back.
Sure. Looks like on Ubuntu Touch the only thing not working is the fingerprint reader

The OS in general isn’t ready for daily use though. It’s maybe doable if all you need is text, calls, camera, and a browser. And the calls only work in some countries. But it’s fun to play with.
Do you live in the US or Europe? There are some possibilities out there, but it’s kinda region dependent.
It seems like Linux-compatible android handsets stopped around 2021. Except a few bespoke models that are hard to get your hands on outside of Europe.
I have a OnePlus Nord N10 flashed with Ubuntu Touch as a tinker device, unfortunately in the US it’s not daily-able because we shut down 3g and 2g networks and they still haven’t managed to get VoLTE working on Ubuntu Touch yet (though it may be coming in the next year!) so phone calls don’t work.
There’s also the Pixel 3a/3a XL which are plentiful and cheap but I like the N10 a bit more because of the additional RAM. Makes it feel a little less old compared to the Pixel.
If you can get your hands on a Fairphone, Pinephone or Volla those are great but hard to get outside the EU.
In here absolutely everyone knows this stuff and it’s all just common knowledge.
Absolutely not. Not even close.
Incredible game. If you ever get the chance I 10000% recommend playing it.
Google gets to control the source code, what additions are added, and what features don’t get into it.
Yes technically some organization could fork it and then maintain a fork themselves. But it’s a huge undertaking that almost nobody has the money to fund. Browsers are free so there’s really not a lot of monetization schemes for browsers.
So nobody as far as I know has really been able to maintain a hard fork of chromium for very long. Remember, every change you make then has to be maintained by you and then you have to keep it up to date with the chromium master tree while also keeping all of your changes compatible. It is a big undertaking almost as big as modern operating systems. Browsers are just too complicated so Google in this position does still have a monopoly that’s very hard to fight.
Almost all browsers other than Safari and Firefox are based on Chromium, which gives Google a ton of control.
Modern Android TV box with a custom launcher. Apparently Projectivity launcher is decent.
But if you already have a Shield that’s cool keep it until it stops working. I’m just not gonna tell anyone to go buy one.
Because it’s end of lifespan and you should spend your money on something that will at least get a few years of support and updates
Yeah but I wouldn’t recommend anyone go and buy one at this point.
Use a separate, not ad-riddled device plugged in via HDMI. If you have a game console it can do this.
I don’t know what’s good for Android TV boxes it used to be the NVIDIA Shield was a well regarded streaming device but it’s really old now. Google makes one (Google TV Streamer) and you can install a custom launcher if you’re a bit technical and the “suggested content” of the stock launcher bothers you. Same for other Android TV boxes.
Apple, like them or not, makes a really decent TV box with no system level ads and an interface that mostly stays out of the way.
Yeah but it’s way easier and less tinkery than what’s described in the OP
