multicolorKnight@lemmy.worldto Android@lemmy.world•Is it a good idea to get the Xperia XZ1 Compact as a secondary phone and install LineageOS?English2·7 days agoI am typing this on a Samsung Galaxy Tab with the latest LineageOS. I have flashed 6 or so Android devices by now, have never bricked one. I did have to reinstall the factory firmware on one after discovering that it did *not" support VoLTE, so it was good for everything except being a phone.
That said, it is quite possible to brick your device. If you are reasonably comfortable with CLI commands (I used Linux for all, no idea if its even possible on Windows), can follow instructions, and observe small anomalies, you should be fine. The problems usually start when one step of the procedure doesn’t quite match what it says…
Also, you are probably going to forego the Google App Store. There are several FOSS app installers, F-Droid is one.
Lineage is great. I have had zero stability problems. With the officially supported devices, you get regular updates, the update process is simple and reliable. YMMV with the unofficial build.
She does not throw up much, and we don’t have a carpet, but, yes. Must be careful to only have cat safe (and not valuable) plants around, they will nibble on them.
Not putting my hand in there, that’s for sure.

multicolorKnight@lemmy.worldOPto cats@lemmy.world•Emma just came in my office to tell me she loves meEnglish12·19 days agoThat’s her sister Lizzie. When she vocalizes, it’s always an exclamation.
“There’s a strange cat outside!”
“I hate the vacuum cleaner, could you not?!”
multicolorKnight@lemmy.worldto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•It’s Friday. The Divine Keepers Have Arrived.English4·1 month agoI have two cats. They have taught me: “you do you”:
Lizzie sweeps the floor around the food bowls with her paws after eating. One can’t be too neat.
Emma collects little rugs and rags at her favorite scratching pad. I really can’t think of a motive for this.
multicolorKnight@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Pros/cons to legalize marijuana in a countryEnglish21·2 months agoBackground: I haven’t used weed in decades, I have no personal interest in its legal status.
I can’t think of a single bad thing that has happened. People are more open about smoking, you can smell it in the street sometimes. I live in a tourist destination, there are ads everywhere for dispensaries. I assume getting high is at least part of the attraction for visitors.
Also, I assume it has had a negative effect on illegal drugs - why bother? - but I wouldn’t know anyway.
Yes, I supported it at the time, have not changed my view.
She knows it, too. She usually does her best “Oh, do you like me?” look, like this, when she catches you looking at her.
She really likes boxes, too…

multicolorKnight@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Musk wants to leave politics because he’s tired of ‘attacks’ from the left: reportEnglish3·2 months agoExcellent, please do, Elon. Arguably he has never been in politics, he just bought off Trump to get a job.

multicolorKnight@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Disregarding "the American dream" what's some stuff about America that still makes you proud?English61·4 months agoI agree, the majority of Americans are decent, not racist or various forms of genophobic, and resisting as best they can. The government and media has merged into a monster. ii looks huge and scary; that’s by design. If you give up hope, they have won.
multicolorKnight@lemmy.worldOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you get through the winter?English2·5 months agoThat’s the problem, it doesn’t snow enough now… I used to be able to XC on trails in my hometown, now the snow is too thin and patchy. The ice is too thn on the lakes to be trustworthy. We get an extra 3 months of stick season, almost no snow season.
multicolorKnight@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Murena, Volla or other open source smartphones suggestions?English2·5 months agoHave you considered GrapheneOS? Not an open source phone as you say, but it is at least open source software, running on hardware with published specs. It should be capable of everything you want.
multicolorKnight@lemmy.worldOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•It's that time of year again: what are your New Year's resolutions?English3·6 months agoHow does one go about touching more turtles? We have plenty of snapping turtles in the area but I think trying to touch them would be risky.
multicolorKnight@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your work schedule like during the holidays?English4·6 months agoThe company I work for has few fixed holidays, but lots of discretionary time off, and very little direct customer service, so it’s an individual choice. Many people take the week between Christmas and New Years off. I don’t; I’d rather have extra time off when the weather is warmer and I can play outside.
Can’t be, it’s a miaonochrome printer.
