i use revanced extended. Also mind, after about every 6 months, videos start acting weirdly. Only thing you have to do is update it.

no. they do get money to put google as one of default search engine. but IMO that’s fine for now, as they need money somehow. And librewolf, for those who take it seriously.

samsung does so for long time

maybe browsers that obfuscate that information

not when it comes to server software. In that regard, linux is infront.

then they will start downloading new apps that you might be interested in automatically

you can guarantee it, by feeding it only information without weapon information. The information they use, is just scraping every single piece of data from the internet.

nu. The people decide in this. We cant keep making new rules for the shit they come up with. I care. Thus i use firefox on linux with an open search. The people are stupid. Thats the problem. They want this comfort, they pay for it.

*windows users trying to navigate in three different styled setting layouts

What your talking about is rate limiting. And pretty much every social media already does that. The issue with adding requirements like phone number etc, is that it also makes it more difficult and annoying for regular users. Besides, bot account owners litteraly have large amounts of fake valid mobile phone numbers they can use to “verify” their bot accounts. Then they also use change their ip addresses, so rate limiting can’t be enforced. Instagram also has a massive bot issue, but its just an endless amount of bot accounts, not just one that is spamming all over the place.

Adding a fake 10 second delay would stop absolutely nothing and make the experience even worse for regular users.

what would an artificial delay do? Litteraly nothing. Also they can scan posts after they have been uploaded. And a scan shouldnt take even a second.

There needs to be more laws and regulations. In this system, companies will use every legal way to make as much money as possible. This is especially true for public companies.

naw. You mean all the secretaries would loose their office job

well kinda feel sorry for ya that your job requires excel or any of that office trash. Obviously doesnt work out for you then.

I run mint for some years on desktop and about a year on laptop now. I dont have any issues on either and it just feels good booting into them. I never once had the urge or need to go back to windows. And i think this is true for many people.

And the terminal is just sth thats at its core. If you dont want to learn it then a system like that isnt for you. In all reality, if one learns its, it is much easier than using three different windows setting interfaces with bloat popping up everywhere. Installing software in linux easy. In windows navigate through twenty ads or visit a poor store.

Or windows having a mix of consoles/powershells and more shit nowadays with different command namings. In Linux. Its just sinple terminal. Not to mention command prompt and its siblings taking four+ seconds to open on a new decent windows pc. Wtf?

imo windows bloat makes it unusable. The skill required to learn terminal basics is far smaller than learning all that windows shit.

Linux mint still going fresh as every day.

Can’t beat samsung’s implementation with sound assistant. It lets you put individual volumes for each app. You can even allow two or more music apps to play at the same time. For example a game and music. It also allows you to customize the volume panel as far as you want, such as position, theme etc. Not to mention you can also output to two bluetooth headphones at the same time.

I dont like samsung much. But i would totally miss this on most other phones. This android 15 panel just seems lame in comparison.

thats ok with me. Wouldnt buy a ios device anyways. Exactly, because they dont allow third party apps.

okay. if they had never done it maybe. but its in Google maps already. So they already have all the data available. Making the code to show transit, with having access to their internal API’s is probably very easy.

Just look up a local bus provider API. Very easy to just make a request. Google probably has their own API already that bundles all transits from over the world.

it’s such an easy thing to code. They take ages for basic features.
