I am surprised that Google spends so much time tackling custom ROMs via it's Play Integrity API. If only they paid that much attention to say, curating the Play Store more, it had be much better for everyone

"This is why I in "

Didn't read the article, but I hate this style of headlines with a passion. Using custom ROMs isn't even something controversial, yet they go out of their way to make it sound like they're breaking some social taboo or something. Why not a simple and concise title like "Advantages of custom ROMs" or "Consider installing a custom ROM". It sounds like a meme speech pattern straight out of 4chan, except they're using it with zero self awareness or irony. How about an actual hot take: journos who write like this are pretentious pricks that deserve to get replaced by chatgpt.

You slammed his article with your reasoning.

Slammed/slams is my absolute least favorite headline trend of the past decade. So trash.

Randomgal BLASTS the article by pointing out that renzev SLAMMED it with reasoning

This is why I brush my teeth in 2024. This is why I still wear jeans in 2024.

So radical, man

This is why I still prefer public restroom glory holes in 2024.

for some reason rooting is a hot take.

A lot of people in the reddit rooting subreddits telling others not to root anymore.
