LineageOS, probably. You can check devices here, don't forget to use the filters.

Well what else are they going to do, cause the Osborne effect on purpose while they're still trying to move units?

If you want even worse, I know somebody who needed a manuscript that wasn't digitized, so he had to actually fly to the UK and go to the small university that had the manuscript. As if that isn't enough of a pain in the ass on its own, the actual research consisted of carefully leafing through a moldy 700 year old book written in medieval Latin, analyzing the handwriting to decipher certain nonsense words that it turned out were actually just spelling mistakes, and shining special lights at weird angles to read faded ink. And then in the end, he found out the part wanted to cite (about a clergyman burning a granary to punish a village for their sinfulness) was was actually just a passage about tax levies that was deliberately mistranslated by one of those charlatan gentleman archaeologists from the 19th Century who wanted to discredit the Catholic Church.

Treasure your badly-scanned papers from 1980, and be thankful you didn't have to do historical research by sorting through bad scans from the 1980s of printouts of microfilm archives (yes, instead of scanning the microfilm) of photos of the original documents that were photographed in 1961 at a 45° angle by a lazy archivist who used the cheapest film he could get his hands on. And the scans have blotches that make some pages literally unreadable because the microfilms were allowed to sit exposed to moisture for 25 years before being digitized. No I'm not bitter and my collegiate education wasn't a waste, not one bit of either.

“Everyone’s focus is to keep 500 people employed,” a source told Variety, referring to the show’s large non-WGA crew.

Okay then do it, it's not like you don't have the cash.

I tried to warn people this was coming, and all I got was that the ones who didn't just say "meh, at least I see relevant ads" accused me of being a sealioning backdoor racist who wanted to harbor safe havens of hate speech. I hope the entirety of corporate social media burns to the ground, and I hope all the people who took belligerent pride in their technological ignorance and learned helplessness don't make it out.
