I’m currently looking for work. If anyone has any programming contracts available, please let me know.

At this point in time, if anyone can help me by supporting me on Patreon I’d greatly appreciate it while I persue a stable income.

Android 11 Custom ROM List – Unofficially Update Your Android Phone Because Even The Old Samsung Galaxy S III Can Get The Latest Updates!

It's just not true at all that most older phones cannot be updated regularly to the latest versions of Android. Manufacturers choose not to support those devices as they want to sell a new phone to you.
But 3rd party custom ROMs do exist for older phones and often give you the choice of whether to install the Google apps or not. Apart from getting the latest features (hardware permitting) and patches, these ROMs are often include extra features that you don't see in standard Android, and you also usually have a more privacy orientated OS.
The downside is you usually have to do a manual flashing the first time, but after that most ROMs will auto update just like standard Android does.
The site below lists the phones that can install these custom ROMs.

Try opening a Microsoft e-book. It breaks because they closed the DRM servers.

The books stopped working.

PS3? Wii? Same story.

The only way to get the same freedom and privacy with digital media we had with physical media, is piracy.

We got scammed.

I'm close to a Libreboot release. I've opened port 80 on my local development web server: http://81.187.191.155/

Thoughts welcome! I'm still updating a lot of old/obsolete info on pages. Certain build docs are missing. It'll be done soon, and uploaded to libreboot.org

This is not the live version of the Libreboot site. I will close port 80 again once this is moved to the official website.
