    1. Yes, android is technically Linux
    2. There are forks (Graphene, e, etc) but none approach the popularity of traditional Android so you’ll never find them on phones sold by major retailers/carriers
    3. Theres not a huge market (or rather, it’s not a huge moneymaker) to develop an android fork that focuses on things like privacy and security. There’s a reason phones come preloaded with Facebook and Candy Crush.


  • Get off the apps and go do classes at places. Gym, cooking class, whatever. Or go sign up for one of those programs that specifically gets a bunch of single people together to go do activities.

    The dating apps don’t work unless you’re a mega hottie. You’ll be spending a lot of money monthly to not be buried by their algorithms. You can use them to cast a net, but don’t expect anything immediate to happen.

    If you’re using anything other than Tinder, Hinge, or Bumble you’re shooting yourself in the foot big time if you expect any success.

    I am assuming you’re male. When Ashley Madison got hacked, stats came out that 5.5 million of the 37 million accounts were female. Gizmodo did an independent review and thinks it’s actually closer to 12 THOUSAND of those female accounts were actually real. While the vibe of Ashley Madison is very different from something like Hinge or Tinder, if those apps even remotely resemble the user base of AM that means the numbers are well, well stacked against you.


  • One PC community, which I’m pretty sure died because I haven’t noticed any content from it in a few months, was using a bot to copy posts from Reddit but it made no sense because 50% of the posts were asking for tech support. Every post had 0 replies because, obviously, who would waste time replying when the OP who needed answers was on a different platform entirely.
