Interesting. I've only had Steam since 2017 but currently it's the slowest it's ever been.

It takes 20s to start and 5s to shut down on fast hardware. This is 6x slower than the electron-based open source Heroic launcher. It's also 20x slower than opening a web browser, considerably slower than opening Word, LibreOffice, unmodded Factorio, Kdenlive (a full-featured video editor), Cities Skylines 2 (known for poor optimization lol), or even the 11GB Quartus Prime (used for programming FPGAs) It's not far off from Windows itself.

The only apps slower to open than Steam are large games, some pro-level software, and the absolutely horrific MS Teams desktop app and Epic Games Store.

You mean rent premium (it's a subscription of course)

I get what you mean, and I agree with you. But locked bootloaders can be good for security, but as long as they're unlockable they are good for freedom. You mean to say un-unlockable bootloaders should be banned.

Over-ear for me (both for wired and wireless). In-ear devices will fall off my ears every 5 minutes.

For a specific recommendation, I'd recommend the Monoprice BT600-ANC. It has really good ANC for just $100-$150, good battery life, and the sound quality of it is on par with my $70 wired headphones. You can also use it with a wire (albeit without ANC) if the battery dies.

How does a country of 1.4 billion have 6 billion people with less than 1000 RMB/mo of disposable income?

I'm being as safe as I can. I'm ATGATT and I started on a beginner bike without much power.

They still allow sideloading through F droid and the like, as long as the app is specifically made for a newer Android version. There is a prompt to confirm (as with the Google Play Store), but this is good because it makes the user aware that they are installing an app.

When I pay for a copy of a video game, pirating it is ethical imo. I already paid the devs for a copy of my game, so why should they care that I also play it on my phone on an emulator?

FX File manager. Super fast even on weak hardware, customizable, and feature rich, with virtually no bugs. It's not only the best file manager I've found on Android, it's the best file manager I've found on any platform.

I'm 19-20 and I'm from the eastern part of the US.

In a car, I have about 8 hours of experience and could do it in a pinch, although I'd feel unconfident with it.

On a motorcycle, I have about 20 hours of more recent experience and I feel fairly comfortable with it.

JavaScript if done right can transform a website into something greater, like a game for instance. But excessive JavaScript on an article website can go to hell.
