They could just align the text bottom right, where there’s less gun poking into the area

But the prices being so low is exactly what makes people care less about things like privacy, so not great either

You can use AdAway to block unwanted connections, so yeah

Tracker Control is an app that basically acts a DNS based blocker. Recognizes what your apps connect to, groups it into necessary and unnecessary domains and so on. It does set up a local VPN though, so you can’t use it alongside an actual VPN.

The Duckduckgo app does pretty much the same thing, no need to explain more.

There’s more that do the same DNS-based blocking, Netguard being another popular one.

Another option would be to have a blocker running network-wide, a pihole for example. But again, won’t do anything in case you’re using a VPN, obviously.

And then some apps will straight up refuse to run if you block their trackers. If this happens, it should be the last straw when deciding whether to actually keep the app or not.

Ist das in der EU überhaupt rechtens?

Better than nothing, that’s for sure.

Ah, the Exynos variant. It’s not even listed as being supported at all, so good to hear that it worked anyway

Only 14.1? Now granted, there’s so many different models that it might not apply to all of them, but the european/and qualcomm jfltexx for instance runs 18.1 just fine
(well, it’s showing its age with Android 11, but still very usable)

so tun als wären alle Verkehrsteilnehmer inkl. mir selbst richtig dumm

Das ist in jeder Hinsicht eine gute Einstellung. Nach einer Weile wird man sogar richtig gut darin, den Verlauf des Verkehrsflusses vorherzusagen.

Wenn es eine Sache gibt, die mein Fahrlehrer uns immer wieder eingeprügelt hat, dann das vorausschauende Fahren.

which is something matrix bridge based iMessage solutions like Beeper don’t do

Which is precisely what makes Matrix the better option for this, albeit still not great

Why even do this in the first place, when Matrix Bridges have been a thing for ages now?

(Note: I don’t like Matrix Bridges either, they’re problematic in their own right)

Well that was short-lived, but not unexpected

460ppi low-res? You got some proper eagle eyes, dang

Edit: Just saw your other comment, didn’t know you could bump down the resolution on a Pixel 7. But scaling down to 1080 on a 1440 display won’t look as good as native 1080, I reckon

I mean, you can do it with a single gpu, it’s just that the host won’t have it anymore

Surely it lets you choose what parts to disable, right?

And/or set up something like Obtainium for those apps you can pull directly from their source.

Gets you updates a lot faster, too

Great browser, though having proper uBlock Origin is something I just value a lot more.

And not wanting to be a part of the Chromium monopoly out of principle.

on mobile Brave is better for privacy

Better than default Firefox, though something like Mull is on par, if not better in some areas.

Where Chromium browsers on Android still have the edge though is security. Process/tab/site isolation, stuff like that.

Oh, you can absolutely uninstall them. The files needed for installation will stay, but that’s the case with any app you remove like that.

Which is rather helpful, because it makes it easier to reinstall something in case you de-bloated a little too hard.

Ah well, good old adb shell can do a lot of de-bloating, if all else fails
