Finally, an explanation for the acronym! Thank you.

@OP, not everyone knows what TRT is.

Nope. Not reading a Techrights article.

Mystery solved. Thanks!

Thanks, friend. You too!

Thanks. I can be a literal-minded idiot sometimes.

I read about Vegas Loop a few years ago when it was, let’s call it “completed”, but… it’s somehow even worse than I remember. And the fact that Tennessee is building a new one is just mind-melting.

I consider Pepe to be a picture. How the hell is it speech in any way?

My experience as well. Fortunately, I was able to remedy this by flashing a fresh install of LineageOS. Though, I do understand that not every phone is able to do this and even if it is, the process can look intimidating for newbies.

Repairability of smartphones is such a non-issue in reality, it amazes me that people are so crazy about it.

I’m sorry, but I take issue with that statement. Here’s how many steps you need to take to remove a battery from popular phones:

• Google Pixel 9: 39 steps. Involves applying heat to the battery. If that sentence doesn’t make you wince, then I don’t know what to tell you.
• iPhone 16 Pro: 40 steps.
• Huawei Honor 10: 20 steps.
• Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: 27 steps

And I have to stress, this is the number of steps to just GET to the battery. I didn’t count the steps for battery replacement and reassembly. And all of these require some sort of specialty tools like having a gel pack to melt the glue inside the phone, or specialty screwdrivers for proprietary screws, etc. Not to mention the time and patience you need to expend.

Contrast this to the Fairphone 4:

• Fairphone 4: 4 steps

No tools needed. 2 minutes. So no, I absolutely refuse to believe that phone repairability is a non-issue.

Project Hel, a DLC for Ghostrunner. The base game was already pretty great, but the DLC added jump trajectories, making movement less ambiguous and improved the frankly wonky upgrade system of the original. It also added a new (albeit shorter) story, a new rage mechanic and you get to play as a cold, unfeeling cybernetic abomination controlled by the villain of the base game.

All of this is to say that I was floored on how much I preferred playing the DLC than the original and I loved Ghostrunner.

Good thing I didn’t, then.

Who’s the man on the bottom right?

Don’t use AI slop, please.

What do you mean? Thunderbird literally IS on Android (F-Droid, Google Store).

A filter some AI used, probably.

Yeah, it’s normal. Your body is recuperating, give it time.

Would GNU Taler be useful in this situation?

Austria, what the fuck? They’re even calling it a “Bundestrojaner” and nobody’s batting an eye?

You know, I hope it turns out good. Because if it doesn’t, it might devolve into another Ghostbusters 2016 situation and just thinking about that whole kerfuffle gives me a headache.

Much appreciated. The author’s comment for that commit does not paint the full picture.
