I could live with this. I like the gnome "workflow" but I hate how restrictive it is. Not to mention that it runs worse on my laptop compared to KDE. Thanks for the inspiration! I might just try something like this.
Aw man, every midrange phone that would be interesting comes with MediaTek SOCs. I should check if the custom rom scene is still dead for phones with MT chips... Do they still withold the sources needed for rom developement?
Hey, I use LOS with Magisk as well.
There is a separate safetynet fix module for magisk you can install. No idea if the module is deprecated or not. Will have to check.
You can use the deny list in magisk to "hide" root access from your banking app.
There is also the option to hide the Magisk app itself. For some reason my banks app was checking for this specifically, and this solved my issues.
Edit: Safetynet fix: https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix
This is what I have. Not sure if the project is dead, last update was a year ago it seems.
Very interesting! It's tempting, but I can already see the "Major Change ticket" coming in for "Divorce" if I asked for tickets at home :D
I don't plan to neglect backups. Currently I use Syncthing as well, but only between non-redundant storage locations, so I have duplicates. Like phone pushes photos to pc or laptop, those sync them between each other. Important docs that I can't lose are also on all 3 devices.
And I plan to keep the local storage of mission critical data around on some clients at least. I just want to have a central, more robust, redundant system where one or 2 disks can fail without my data being gone or corrupted.
The noise is only an issue because of how small my appartment is. I can't really isolate noise in here. I would think it also depends on which drives I get. I read that some are louder than others.
I'm not too keen on chosing names so I'm happy that I could
redmi note 9 pro user here. Now on LOS. The default OS is full of telemetry. Even the calculator wants you to agree to personal data being used. Would avoid unless you only want the hardware and the model you want has active community rom support.
Also the Bootloader unlocking process is a PITA. You need a xiaomi account logged in to the phone for it for 2 weeks, then they may allow unlocking the BL but only through their unlocker app that frankly sucks. You may have to sit through the wait period twice if something goes wrong. Ask me how I know.
Hey, I like the thing you linked as much as the next guy, but posting a bare link isn't going to start any conversations around the topic.
And I hate to see a link post with no comments in my feed personally.
How about you share some of what you think or ask your question so it is something worth interacting with?
Cheers
Sadly the voting with wallet approach is only a short term solution imo.
One big player makes the contraversial move, gets some flack then most people forgets. Other players later make the same moves saying this is industry standard now, since the big players are doing it.
Playing the system by workarounds, root hiding, sandboxing tools etc. Will probably work temporarily also until they figure out what people are doing to circumvent the locks.
I also use open source options whenever they fulfills my needs. I am not changing to linux yet because of gaming.
I grew up relatively poor, so burning cd-s for each other and trading games was the jam when I was in school. Games I usually still pirate and even when I buy them I have already tried them to an extent, or finished them 5 times. Steam sales are a godsend for multiplayer only titles tho. I have nothing against supporting devs. But ubi, ea and those responsible for games with 0 content and giant day1 patches, season passes and all that crap can get fucked.
I rather spend that money on zero knowledge mail and vpn, maybe a donation to foss devs for things that I can't live without anymore. I need to get into the habit of donating some at least. Now that I am out of the financial danger zone.
So Beta 1.6.4 was when?
