The Not-So-Pretty Side of Big Tech

Most of us grow up thinking that the things we buy and store online are ours. Games, apps, files, even the email addresses tied to our names. But big tech companies like Microsoft remind us that nothing in their ecosystem really belongs to us. Recently, Microsoft suspended my Outlook account. They claimed that my OneDrive contained “child porn.”  Let me be clear: I download adult videos from the open web. I am not a pedophile. Yet Microsoft’s algorithms, terms of service, and opaque enforcement systems flagged my content as illegal, locked me out of my account, and informed me that I cannot appeal for six months. When you use Microsoft services, you’re not really buying a product; you’re renting access.

Lygisk - A magisk alternative for Lineage Os

"Lygisk is a Magisk fork correcting one of the few mistakes legendary @topjohnwu did not fix (yet).

Lygisk fixes the needed /data access in addon.d, which fails to reinstall Magisk during OTA if the device does not support FBE decryption in recovery" 





The process involves sideload with adb. Download the canary Lygisk from the link above and rename it from app-debug.apk to app-debug.zip

Reboot the phone to lineage os recovery with the power button

Tip: enable advanced reboot in settings > system > buttons > power menu 

Start a command prompt in the platform tools folder

Assuming the Lygisk zip is on the desktop of your PC copy as path



In Lineage os recovery tap on apply update > apply update from adb 

In the terminal type 

adb sideload "app-debug.zip" 

Once it's done tap 'reboot system' 


You may need to install the Lygisk canary apk file after the device boots up. Tap on the Lygisk app and let the phone automatically reboot
