Please, all Android developers, make a system that can fake the contact list, files and photos, location and phone ID and other information that apps usually require (but don't need).
Android only lets you disable those things, but that's not it - some apps don't work without consent.
All I could find was #xposed and #xprivacy, but it doesn't seem to be evolving much and it's definitely not for casual users. I'd love to have a system that pretended to be Android, but be based on #lineageos & #OpenGapps and include those xprivacy features by default.
To be honest, I'm completely fascinated that no one is working on this! So many developers and nobody cares about privacy?
Flying today, the TSA staff require everyone to put a face mask on to get through security.... Then immediately ask for the mask to come off for visual identification check.

How to mute advertisements at several gas stations in the US
https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/mute-button-gas-station-pump-San-Antonio-reddit-16180029.php
This suggestion is for Valero but apparently also works for similar pumps at Chevron and Circle K.

Just saw a Fast and Furious movie for the first time. One word : Shakespearean. 🤣
I'm allowed to put weight on my broken leg now. Just registered for the marathon in October. #running

Talk about going full circle with segregation.
Even though I broke my leg, I'm still hopeful and investing in #running. I was about 100 miles into my last pair when I fell. I saw a deal on them, blue and white.
They just got delivered. I don't really care about colors. But I did not expect the sparkles. They're all glittery. Glittery men's running shoes. Who knew!
Maybe they'll make my runs faster...or maybe just sparklier.

Interesting. Attempting to outlay the facts about what we have all seen.

Not Satire

As the dad of a multi racial family, I still retain my ability to think and may not fit your stereotype of what the dad of a multi racial family must think.
Replace "dad of a multi racial family" with another descriptor of me the statement remains true.
