And…I guess, graphene?

That seems to be outside of their wheelhouse (intentionally), and it makes me nervous.

Is RCS hosted by the carriers? If not, how to make the end run around Google?

Unless a Linux UA allows for plausible deniability.

It could happen!

Is it mostly Mali in arm devices? I’ve been away for a while.

Fascinating.

I’d like to recommend rEFInd once you figure this out.

Windows has never been able to squash it.

The specific grub command wasn’t listed in the OP, I don’t think?

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

That’s Gentoo syntax anyway, and your grub config may live elsewhere, but you should get the idea. It’s supposed to find the new kernel.

I’ve never used an initrd, so I can’t comment on that.

If the previous kernel is still available, can you boot that? That should help determine if the kernel is at fault.

Brain fart. Complete and total.

I embarrass me.

Apologies.

Was completely sincere.

Unfortunately.

Apologies.

Agreed. Complete and utter brain fart.

Boy, that helps!

I feel smart.

Can you name one? Honestly.

I can’t think of one American phone brand? Maybe some dumb phone.

Interesting point though.

Btw, do you know a dumb phone that can tether?

This is what my future probably looks like.

It’s Linux-ish under the hood really. No Android device I’m aware of is running the vanilla kernel.

I think it just locks the input.

Punisher T-shirt ought to be sufficient.

Going to echo:

Get off social media.

I’ll add: get introspective, become confident in your skin. Worry less about what you think is happening outside your head, and begin to control the things within.

When you love yourself it won’t hurt if others don’t love you, but I promise, others will.
