... to patch more images, hurray!
And then I read about some tool that may be able to do it and that is a magisk module, possibly, and I have no fucking clue what it is their are talking about in their instructions. Probably download another hundred tools and patch images and it sounds like this whole mess may still not work in the end.

No, I really don't want to get a Doctor in Android. I just want this shit to work. #fuckandroid

@ScottMortimer And to put that front and centre, the headline is:

"How to Disable Ad ID Tracking on iOS and Android, and Why You Should Do It Now"

Further disclaimers: the feature discussed only exists as of Android 12, which vanishingly few Android devices are actually equipped with.

And one full factory reset later, it crashes as soon as it's finished pulling me through the setup screens.

OK.

Time for a new phone.

@temporal Solved.

So ... one might think that the way to keep a keyboard from trying to choose from amongst several possible language options would be to assign it one and only one option.

One would be wrong.

Solution for a Samsung Android v 5 device

(Given that no two Android device interfaces are the same, Your Mileage Will Fucking Vary. This works for me, for now.)

Settings -> Language and Input -> Physical Keyboard (select your keyboard's description) > Set Keyboard Type

Ensure that NO LANGUAGES ARE SELECTED. Then back out of settings.

Typing <shift>+<space> no longer pops up the language toggle nor eats spaces.

For some reason, Google Chrome/Android sets the text colour to (nearly) the same as the background.

Note that that text appears TWICE in the image, once in white-on-black. I'm referring to the other instance.

In related news, I've discovered how to unlock screenshotting from Incognito Mode.

@vik I've been using Termux installed via F-Droid on my latest least-abysmally-bad-option Android device (Onyx BOOX). Given I can't seem to get Google Play running, and really see no reason I should, I've relied on F-Droid for the few apps that are installed.

Termux remains the One Thing on Android Which Does Not Precisely Suck.

It'd be even better if Android didn't insist on killing off processes / apps randomly. Until there's a truly viable Linux-based e-ink tablet device (and yes, I'm aware of Kobo, Nook, and reMarkable), this remains the best option of which I'm aware.

F-Droid is pretty amazeballs.

How apps on Android share data with Facebook...

At least 61 % of apps automatically transfer data to Facebook the moment people open the app, whether they have a Facebook account or not, or whether they are logged into Facebook or not.
