Dear #Apple #AppleNews, what the hell?
Apple telling me they decide what I see. My preferences can go fuck themselves.

I had disabled their pushed Pocket stories on the home/new-tab page. So to force them at me, they now pushed out a new section “Thought provoking stories” or some bullshit, which are all just ads. Meaning clickbait headlines linked to sites that say “start a trial subscription for free!”
Next week, “Return of Though Provocations” that I again have to manually disable, I bet.
“Nose cone of NIST glide bomb showing the three-pigeon guidance system.”
The winner of this year’s Ig Nobel Peace Prize. I like the solid triple redundancy. Otherwise it might be bad if your pigeon gets distracted while flying your nuke.

A #mobile #linux question for the linuxerati.
I have a working Pixel 3XL phone. It is currently on stock android. If I don’t sell it, what non-google operating system / distribution should I try and use on it, and please explain a little why, if you don’t mind.
I won’t need google tools, afaik.
I don’t necessarily need to even use it as a phone, but as a pocketable linux device.
What’s out there?
