It isn't fixed on my phone, and we've already suffered through years of it.
The quickest solution to your years of suffering would be getting an iPhone.
I'd prefer a Free software OS that gives me root access.

root your phone and install a permission manager. or use cyanogenmod and enable the built-in.
I would like to do that, but I don't want to risk turning my phone into a brick just to get basic root permissions.

Well, fortune favours the bold. You can take that risk or you can be cattle for all the apps that want you to actually watch the ads they support themselves with. Make your choice.

The way you described it sounded like you just randomly wake up in the middle of the night, which _can_ be related to sleep apnea. If you're waking up that easily it _could_ also mean that you're not going into deep and REM sleep because your brain needs to keep you at a certain level to wake you in case you can't breathe. Edit: or you're just a light sleeper, but generally waking up several times a night is not comm…

#195Please don't use Netflix and other paid streaming services. By doing this you support Digital Restrictions Management development and finance copyright lobby. https://stallman.org/netflix.html If you want to watch their shows too much, download them illegally via file sharing services. They can arrest a very limited number of people, and by engaging in such activity you lower other people's chances to be persecuted.
I hate DRM, but I'd personally rather legally pay for something with DRM than illegally torrent.
My position is that I don't really care that much about DRM on something that I'm not buying in the first place. With Netflix, I'm not purchasing TV shows or movies, I'm just paying a flat monthly fee to have access to view their entire catalog whenever I want. So to me it doesn't really matter if there's DRM, because it works, and when I want to watch it again, I can do so for no additional cost. I just have to pay the monthly subscription fee.
For something I buy, it's another matter altogether. I don't want something that I own to be limited in how I use it, like only playing on certain devices, or a certain number of times. So as a result, I'm not real wild about spending any money on Blu-Ray discs, which had strong DRM and can only be played on certain players or with certain software. (AFAIK, you still can't watch Blu-Ray movies on Linux, which to me is pretty much a deal-breaker since I use my laptop for things like that constantly, including watching Netflix.) Worse, because of DRM, these limitations could change in the future, which is entirely unacceptable.
I know it's a bit of a gray line, but I just don't see subscription services the same way, because I don't actually own anything there, I'm just buying access to a store of online content.
