When I plugged it in to my computer, it didn't show up in the list of connected devices. I can try using fastboot but I have no idea what that is, can I use Linux or would I have to use Windows?

I acutally tried that and it will boot into the droidboot menu but it wont go into the recovery menu. So yeah, it's probably dead. But it's fine, there wasn't anything important.

I tried it and it just takes me back to the USB logo. It's fine if I can't recover the files, I wont lose much.

I just tried it and there is something called "droidboot". There are four options "reboot droidboot", "reboot", "recovery" and "power off". Should I try the recovery option?

Kind of an indirect answer, but I've heard people state that they vote against their own personal beliefs because they think that there needs to be a balance between "good and bad". Obviously, this is complete bullshit. Even if there should be a "balance", we already have enough problems as is, we don't need the government making it worse.

According to Wikipedia, it's still based on Gentoo, it just uses Debian for running Linux applications in Crostini.

If this happens, I'd be interested in seeing how this effects ChromeOS. I don't use it but my mom does.

Also, if you're confused as to why ChromeOS would be effected, while it's based on Gentoo Linux, ChromeOS uses a modified version of Chrome as it's Desktop Environment.

Just looked into it, according to this post account scores were removed from Lemmy. I'll have to edit my comment.

They must have changed it because Boost was the only app I ever used.

It does, it's just disabled by default. Some third party clients, like Boost for Lemmy, have it enabled (or at least it did, it's been a while since I've used it).

Edit: as it turns out, the Karma count was removed from Lemmy in version 0.19.

I'm gonna be honest, I don't like the amount of power big corporations have. Nintendo is currently abusing their power to stifle their competition and potentially harm the future of gaming. Google recently proved that they have pretty much full control over the internet. Microsoft is ruining the entire PC market. I could name more but these are the first few that came to mind.

I would consider doing that but I'd rather not have to go through the process of re-downloading all my apps and re-customizing my phone just because I disabled a potentially important app.

I forgot to mention these in my previous comment but I've added some information about the app in my post. As for that app that you mentioned, I've never used ADB commands before and I don't want to risk bricking my phone, so I don't know if I'm going to use it.

It's not the account that I'm worried about. It's hard for me to explain what I'm actually concerned about. I guess an example would be that the SIM card becomes invalid or something. One of the phones where I disabled Mobile Services has an effectively permanent error at the top of the screen that says "invalid SIM card".

Yes but it's still possible and I have yet to see someone mention that they were able to disable it and still use their phone service.

I would try but I don't want to disable something if I don't know for sure that it's safe to disable.

I'd try that but I don't want to end up finding out that disabling it permanently disables my phone's service. My phone's service is through Tracfone and they are the developers of the app.

Ok I figured out that you don't actually have to setup Shizuku to use Canta. The only problem is that Canta doesn't provide a description for Mobile Services. It just provides the package name, which I searched for online, but the only thing I can find is that it's specific to Tracfone devices.

I actually can't uninstall it but I just using my phone's settings app and either remove or disable it depending on what that phone allows me to do. Canta seems pretty complicated to use but I'll try it and see what it tells me.

I've been using Fennec F-Droid, which is based on Firefox. I mostly use it because I want a non-chromium based browser and Firefox and it's derivatives have browser extensions on android. I chose Fennec F-Droid because, while I could be wrong, it seems to be slightly smaller and run slightly faster than Firefox.
