L3ft_F13ld!

I’ll admit I didn’t read it. I fell into the typical trap of reacting only to the headline. Doesn’t change the fact that recent releases have been rather underwhelming while feeling increasingly resource hungry. Every new release seems more sluggish for very little improvement in my experience.

How about taking your time and releasing it when it’s ready? Stop picking dates right after the last release and just make something good again.

I’ve used WhatsApp on unlocked bootloaders for years. What isn’t working?

Also, I think DivestOS allows locking the bootloader in some cases.

Sorry to hear about that. I’ve been using Neo for a while and never had issues like that. Might be because your Android version is a bit older maybe. Hopefully it works on your future devices then.

Also maybe report the bug to the developer in whichever way they use for this project.

That sucks. But I think this is specifically about their open source licensing.

Thanks for that. Looks like I’ll be keeping an eye out for replacements just in case.

This seems great and all, but if you’re on Windows this doesn’t seem viable. Not really a one size fits all solution like Bitwarden is for many people who use multiple OSs.

Got any links to the bitwarden drama? I missed it.

Miru that uses torrents vs. the other Miru.

Thought I’d add this for anyone curious. Been using the Miru with torrents and loving it. It’s even better if you use it with an AniList account to keep track of what you’re watching.

This seems to be the reply on another thread from the person running the site.

Which is perfectly fair. I just tend to be stingy about paying for apps when there’s a free one that does what I need.

Nothing wrong with paying for something that’s worth it, though.

I’ve heard of Swift Backup but never tried it because I think it was paid or automatic backups were a paid feature or something. But for my simple needs Neo Backup has been perfect.

Hope it works for you, since other comments also mentioned Titanium having issues and being unmaintained.

Last time I used Titanium Bckup it was losing compatibility and I moved on to Neo Backup. Did Titanium get updated again ad some point or something?

I’m pretty sure Adguard is more than just a browser extension. They have an app for many different OSs, which I think makes setting up their DNS ad blocking on your devices easier and simpler. There’s also Adguard Home, which is similar to pi-hole, if you want to self host a DNS ad blocker.

They also offer a VPN.

So you aren’t paying just for a browser extension necessarily.

Glad to hear it.

This is where I got my repos for Mihon and its forks. The link has repos for anime and manga.

I’ve been using Startpage for a few years. Uses Google and Bing as sources I think, but it’s been usable for my simple use cases.

Mostly my reasons for avoiding Fedora as well. But if someone else ends up on Linux due to Fedora then it’s still better than Windows.

I might not like it but it might, sadly, be perfect for someone else.

I’m not a fan of Fedora either, but it’s still linux. Always better than Windows, unless you have some very serious reason for disliking it that much.
