The dress, it's power grows.

This means a lot to me and other crab people. 🦀 ❤️

Shh! Don't give them ideas.

Just disabled that through Canta with Shizuku rather than adb on a Samsung Note 20 and rebooted. Should be fine to disable.

It says it has an update for itself. So you click your notification and it opens Obtainium. It downloads a newer version of its source, builds it for your phone, changes its path to the new one and exits abruptly. When you restart Obtainium it's the new version with all the same settings. Magic!

Yes, but if you are freezing the apps then no notifications. I personally can't live without some google apps yet, such as food, banking and job-related apps. When using shelter you clone these apps into the work area. They then are completely separate new apps that can't see the rest of your phone. So that's what I use it for keeping invasive apps like Doordash (Location Whore) or Google Photos (Every Permission Known to Mankind) completely isolated from the files on my phone. I don't know how much of that is possible for stock Android. But if you put a messaging app in there and it's set to freeze you won't hear responses. My understanding is it still works for stock.

Have you heard of Shizuku or Canta? These together allow you to disable some of the bloatware on stock phones.

Thanks! Love finding new stuff.

Shelter is an app that allows you to isolate other apps based on work policy (made by you). Don't trust an app? Throw it in jail. This allows a separate installation and user account for apps. You also can freeze the apps in the shelter preventing then from doin' stuff. All with no root.

What kind of phone? If you don't wanna be specific. I ask because Pixels can get GrapheneOS which I am obsessed with.

Obtainium is a favorite of mine. It installs apps from source. So you find apps you like from izzy or fdroid and copy their source link. Now all your FOSS apps (including Obtainium itself, mhmm, add Obtainium to itself) are now cutting edge. Updated fast to pseudo-versions. There's a page for hard to add apps here.

"Raspberry Jam Delta V" everyone gets inside "Resurrection Creches". Which just hold your goo for later reassembly.

Silfen Paths from Judas Unchained. Aliens called Silfen walked from planet to planet directly via actual forest paths. Everything gets wonky time wise when your on one so you might emerge 100 years later. The technology itself is sentient and not maintained. The Silfen who lost interest long ago are asked how they manage the paths. They say they just let them do what they want. At least one path exists to/from Earth. But humans are boring and make things boring, so the aliens avoid Earth.

So if you're on a walk and you get lost you may be walking to another planet.

The Good Place. The end makes me cry.
