I actually spent time on ripping the ‘you wouldn’t steal…’ video from the first DVD that I had with it on it, just for the sheer irony. 😅

True.

First off, my apologies for the tone of my first post. I am cyclothimic and sometimes (in bad moments) shouldn’t be on social media. Hard to draw that line sometimes, though.

Secondly, in a more positive manner and admitting my error in comparing native in Android to the Play Store: I had this message popup on a full phone in the Play Store if I wanted to enable it. It is now also in my Play Store settings underneath “Google Play Feedback”.

I have Play Store v39.4.23-21 [O] [PR] 599960585

It also only sometimes does Archiving, but not often. Usually it’ll just still pop-up the uninstall-other-apps popup as usual.

Uhm. Newsflash. My Vanilla Android 9.1.0’s vanilla Play Store already does… 🙄

Edit: Apologies for the tone above. I deserve the downvotes. 😅

I just use *.loc.al as a local dns entry in my own server with local addresses using devicename.loc.al and loc.al itself going to my gateway/routerpage. 😅

I’ve always used Veracrypt since I discovered its existence.

Nice inconspicuous encrypted loop-files you can mount manually when needed (or automount at boot, but that already makes them a lot less safe) and backup to any cloud safely, as without the password they are useless.

Yeah, as said in another comment too: That’s very likely VLC’s post-processing. It doesn’t look bad on your Kodi, VLC just enhances it as it plays while Kodi actually just shows you the real quality. 😅

I use Kodi too as part of a whole automation setup (so I can use it like a free Netflix that only adds anything I watch while I only need to add filters once per series) and I have gotten used to it now as it doesn’t bother me anymore, but in the beginning I do remember noticing it more too, thus having to make that hard choice for the ease of automation over post-processing. 😅

Kodi is worth it on my Android box, though, as VLC’s magic doesn’t seem to be so effective on Android(TV)… 😜

Or worse, a link to 2 girls 1 cup or tubgirl. 😅

You shouldn’t… You should also not be on the internet with that temper against strangers with different opinions…

You do know it’s full of those, right?

Either way, I did not advocate for any such a thing. I’m only saying that the way to deal with a problem is by taking on the cause, not the results… Results will keep coming if the cause remains.

Go stick your effort into getting rid of CSAM’s creation. That way there’s no more children harmed instead of you just making yourself feel better cause you attacked someone on the internet that wouldn’t hurt anyone, but you just preassumed did cause he thinks differently on the subject. I’m not even a CSAM interested person. I hate children getting hurt as much as the next guy. I just wish we worked on a solution instead of bandaids.

And I’m just not taking part in the bandaid part. 🤷‍♂️

This comment could answer your previous… 😅 You’re not even being consistent in your attacks that have no base.

I certainly did not advocate to enable child abuse anywhere. I just advocated against going after the wrong people and outing frustrations on the ones that didn’t do it. Just like you are proving to do now with me… 🤷‍♂️

Why are you so offensively upset on a comment that did not say what you put into it as retaliation. Literally changing my point to be able to attack me with it. 😅

Like I said. Keep your anger for people actually doing wrong, not on the ones that merely think differently than the exact way you do.

Also if somebody films a murder, do we punish everybody that wants to see the video? No.

Then why are we punishing people that just watch it while not solving anything on those making them? 🤷‍♂️

Logic is a thing people apparently give up for authority. Not me though. Someone that wants to watch CSAM is not your business, just like it isn’t if they watch murder, space stuff of baby cats… (And no, I don’t think they are the same. Taking that from this would just be not wanting to think logic to make another inconsistent counter-attack, so please, don’t.)

The harm with CSAM is already done and you’re taking it out on the wrong persons with help of even worse people, wasting time on targets for what they might do instead of using it on people who actually did/do the bad things creating them.

Good job… Meanwhile I’ll continue to focus on people that actually did something wrong…

I agree, yet privacy is still more important than people watching media they didn’t make. I advocate any and all people making those should be our target, not senselessly give up rights so we can punish those that didn’t hurt anyone. And I just don’t believe in the current legal system and allowing people that unpunished do attrocities to deal with other people doing them does not form an ok with me. 🤷‍♂️

You are literally going to idiots that don’t solve the problem and are proven to do similar bad things themselves, who are using offense towards the people so attention diverts away from them, and you are arguing to ‘me’ that I don’t want to do the same stupidity…? 🤷‍♂️

Go take a better look at your own actions, dude…

Or to the existence of copyrights and how they work (against progress).

Just send out your local Karen.

Anyone can link this “app” separately? Cause I disabled my AndroidTV launcher in exchange for a customizable launcher on my box and since that not only opened the box completely to me but also got rid of all the nasty “built-in” annoyances the company providing it added, I’m definitely not switching back.

Might even eventually return the box like this to my ISP in the end, cause I didn’t do anything wrong: I didn’t need root to get the above done, just used unrooted wireless adb… 😅

Edit: nm, I’m not American, so it won’t stream here anyway. 😅

See link as comment to myself above. 😉

I made a comment to my own comment above with the link. 😜

For all those asking how or with what:

I run a full Android Emulator inside my Android since Android 8.1.1 and I have yet to find any limitation to virtualization. I run modded games there, as also sus apps or things I want to play but know has a trojan or virus inside that I can’t get out. Currently the lowest device I’m using that has it installed is still an Android 9.1.0. 😅

So, I’m guessing they either just mean better Android functionalities using it or improved access to hardware. Other than those I can’t see what they could add, cause the full functionality already exists quite some time… 😅
