Singer Sinéad O'Connor dies aged 56
The death has been announced of singer Sinéad O'Connor aged 56.
Whoever deleted it probably had the right idea, the source is not french and looks a sketchy as feck. I found the link again in my RSS reader and the amount of seriously dodgy adverts on it. The article is only available on these seriously sketchy so-called news sites.
That's grand for the likes of us who can easily install over adb and such but that's no good to those like my 74 year old mother.
The best resource for me has always been the XDA Developers website https://forum.xda-developers.com/
Ah she doing okay, they have her in a neck brace for next three months and doing physiotherapy to keep her mobile, she has to have a nurse accompany her to stop her toppling over that kind of thing. She is stuck in hospital for the next few weeks until she is safe to let home and has home help.
Nothing to learn it's a doddle to use, My 76 year old mother was quite happily using it occasionally on linux box up until she broke her neck two weeks ago - really (4 vertebrae).
I closed my account when I learned that the pillok-in-chief was going to shaft developers.
Personally I'm just enjoying the war.
Ahh brilliant.
Thank you @positiveWHAT for the advice
