What?

How to scare the adults Americans too

FTFY, I love that in my third world country nobody loses their shit if you don’t tip.

Fair, but I still want something on the left.

Pretty much the only thing you can do nowadays with root is install tweaks that hide the fact that you have root from other apps lol.

While it is true that you can install those modules to hide it, I wouldn’t say they are the only reason to stick rooting lol, a lot of apps work way better with root permissions, Battery Guru, FKM and AdAway are 3 good examples that I can think of right away.

With root?

1. Having a superior backup and restore method, Swiftbackup rooted is way better than Google’s solution.

2. Hassle free ad-less YouTube (and YT music) the root apps (Magisk or KSU) come with a way to auto update, so, from the user side I just hit update and I am good to go, no need to waste time patching the apks myself.

3. I can replace the Google news from the side/left menu with whatever app I like, in my case, the Feeder app.

I can go on, but you just asked for 3.

I moved to Android for the 1st time ever in 2020 from an iPhone 6s.

The device I decided to go with is a Poco F2 Pro which lost official support years ago, it has decent hardware and even the battery still holds up (with a good custom ROM, I still achieve 8 hrs of SOT).

It just took me about a year, or perhaps less to move to the custom ROM scene, and for me I can’t ever go back to stock Android ever, even when it is a big step regarding iOS features (except for LS customization) the amount of stuff you can do with rooted android device is no joke.

My only regret is that I was never in the prime days of rooting… At least Telegram communities are super active, not that it is better… But personally I prefer it to discord lol.

I was in the prime days of jailbreaking though, too bad that they seem to be doing worse nowadays.

Only the Bitwarden back-end uses proprietary code

So this was what it changed then?

I also self-host Vaultwarden because it is stupidly simple…

In my environment alone they will be loosing upwards of 3,500 dollars yearly, 700,000 if I can convince my boss to dump them for the company as well.

And move to what?

Do you know if I need to reconfigure my folders?

I guess if the transition is not smooth there is still time for them to adapt something until the very end…

On another hand, it seems like we all deposited all our eggs in one basket huh?

I really can’t think of many Synching replacements… Even when I know there are a few.

Do people really use VLC to listen to music?

I can take that argument but also, how is that people is that unaware of how to do these kinds of process, many of those people study or work in something that relates with tech, are you telling me it is just because they didn’t learn of use it in their earlier days?

Also, it is way easier to pirate nowadays than before, that evolved too you know?

I’d say the biggest culprit is laziness… Or entitlement.

DNS challenge? It is the 1st time I read about it.

I suppose in your LAN you need no VPNs then?

Hmm, interesting, how would I start doing this?

I use a Synology NAS BTW, so it already gives me a Synology subdomain to mess around.

A VPN? you still need a reverse proxy/domain to use it don’t you?

Yeah, I agree using Bitwarden in Android can be a mess, but I find it works pretty well with Firefox, now that I mention it, why do people get the Bitwarden extension if the app already works well?

I have access to an iOS device (girlfriend’s) and I see it works well and I have never heard her complaining…

Oh, I am aware of that “hack” as well.

Can you see NSFW content too?

I am not really updated with how Reddit handled that after the APIcalypse.

Yeah, but I chose the iOS and Android clients every day (Apollo and Sync IMHO).

What I find crazy is that they decided to pay for the API to keep using it with the few clients that operate that way, they are effectively paying for using Reddit SMFH.

Why would one even conceive that idea if you can have an ad-less experience of Reddit in desktop (Ublock Origin), iOS and Android (sideload) still.

Yep I can confirm, I lived in my tiny reddit bubble a lot of time to care about trending shit and bots stuff.

I use Trakt, MAL and HLTB to achieve what you are looking for (I don’t know what else gamefaqs delivers than HLTB, I just use the latter for adding shit to my backlog).
