I'm trying to install MicroG on regular Android (I'd get a custom ROM but none of them work on my device).

I tried to follow this guide - I'm not sure about the recovery bit, although my important files are backed up, but I did manage to enable dev mode, USB sideloading etc. - but I'm running into a problem where the MicroG APK asks if I want to update the app, instead of install it. Trying to "update" it gives me an error message along the lines of "appears invalid".

I tried downloading it from Softonic and both downloads on github (regular and "vending") and the same thing happened in every case. I'm

I'm most likely going to be in both gaikoku (specifically the UK) and Japan within the next half-year or so, and arm to have found myself with a word scheduling problem thanks to an inexplicable Japanese law.

I'm considering learning to drive; I'm a city boy, but feel there's a decent chance I'll either need it for a future job or move to the inaka or both. I'll have plenty of time to learn when I'm in Britain, but my life will get much busier in Japan. The trouble is, the law only allows the conversion of foreign licences to JP ones if the holder stayed in gaikoku for at least three months after getting the licence. In my case, it would be a matter of weeks before moving, not months.

I have an Asus from 2019. It still works decently well (after one battery change), and I'm really not a fan of the culture of semi-automatically changing your phone every few years. However, I have real problems with distraction/procrastination, and the Digital Wellbeing tools that Android introduced with Pie/9.0 sound like they might be able to really help out.

Asus have apparently been pretty lazy with their hardware/software compatibility, and so I'm still running Android 8.0, infuriatingly one short of the update that apparently stops the whole hard/software compatibility thing being relevant at all.

Is there any way of getting access to the tools in question - whether that's an unof

I'm already in Japan, but I only have a few months left on my visa and feel pretty pessimistic about being able to find a job before then. MOFA tells me that the working holiday programme has now restarted, but I'm not sure how it would work in a situation like mine.

I meet all the other requirements (not having been involved with WHV's before, etc), and if the worst comes to the worst am probably able to for whatever reason submit my application on the other side of the planet if need be, but for reasons I'd rather not go into here, I'd need it to be a visa conversion, rather than it being treated as two separate periods of residence.

I know that, formally, it can't be done. I also know

Topic. I'm thinking of voting something along the lines of Katherine Foy > Ann Black > every other indy > most of the left slate > leave Akehurst and his lackeys unranked, but I don't want to accidentally vote for people who are actually transphobes or antisemites or anything.

Been here a few years, have done karaoke a fair few times, and I've realised that I have incredibly mixed feelings about it. When I actually know (and somewhat care about) the song, it's absolutely great, don't get me wrong. However, when I don't give enough of a damn to try and remember the tune much less actually learn the song, I'm just sitting there while everyone else has their turn hoping that nobody will mind when I hand the machine back after a bit of searching and say, actually, no, I can't find many things I can do on this list (subtext: there is an overlap I can exploit, Joysound's library is kinda impressive, but I haven't drunk enough to reveal exactly what that overlap is), you
