Yeah It’s more reliable in that way.
Still, I wish there was a something like a simple flag for the package manager so I could control if user data gets preserved.
I’m a bit surprised that that isn’t a feature.
(In Windows) If you uninstall a program using the “uninstall.exe” provided, you can tick an option to wipe all the data.
This is also available from the Control Panel’s “Uninstall programs” page. The “uninstall” button usually launches the “uninstall.exe” provided by the app’s devs.
I’ve never had this issue on Windows before
Thanks. I wish there was a more straightforward process though.
Every other OS I’ve used purges all app data after uninstalling, why is Linux different?
At least it’s brief
It’s an underdeveloped country, everything is imported so prices are much higher than what you’d expect. The government is corrupt, there is no free public healthcare or education.
You simply can not sustain a family without having one of your family members in a foreign country as the breadwinner. If you can’t go abroad, it’s grueling poverty for you, good luck caring for your sick parents or sending your kids to school. Even our nation’s leaders send their children abroad for studies/job.
Yeah, the USD equivalent doesn’t mean much if your nation actually has something to offer in exchange for your low wages, but that is definetly not the case everywhere.
That’s why “Why would anyone ever work over 60 hours?” first seemed like a sarcastic comment to me.
Everywhere isn’t europe or america guys
Everyone doesn’t live in 1st world countries.
I’m in one of those places where people barely make a living even after pretty much working to death. I am still a student and I have been lucky enough to be born into a more fortunate family. I don’t have firsthand experience, so I will give an example.
A good example is my teachers. They have a 6 to 5 job 6 days of the week, and their monthy salary is equivalent to 865USD.
The fact that I can use the internet and tech as much as I want is a blessing
Lol
Maybe you forgot to type ‘/s’?
same 2
Here’s an excellent tutorial for that: https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ&t=0
Me too, and I’m surprised how I haven’t. As a kid I used to pirate stuff from tons of shady websites without any antivirus software on an outdated Windows XP.
What’s wrong with lemmyworld?
Wdym by dead on performance? works fine for me.
And yeah, I feel like I’m nailing my feet just to avoid walking into a trap here lol. I should relax, I’ve minimized a LOT of data collection already.
Any good browser suggestion you have?
I am aware of that feature, but I can’t do the same for a few essential system apps that constantly ping chinese IPs for whatever reason.
As for my browser, I mostly use Tor browser for browsing/reading and Mull for downloading and streaming.
Am I being too paranoid? lmao
Yup, you are right. Mobile banking seems to be really difficult on custom ROMs and overall it just brings too many issues. I will keep using the stock ROM for now (HyperOS). I have google play services disabled, all Gapps and Xiaomi bloatware apps deleted. I feel like that’s good enough. RethinkDNS to block internet connection from apps that don’t need it. I shouldn’t let “perfect” get in the way of good.
Do you have any other suggestions to make my phone a bit less of a data mine?
Thanks a bunch!
I hope they do the same for my phone. Any way I can check if it’s being maintained? Thanks.
Germ Theory
Diseases used to be associated with paranormal powers or the wrath of gods in most cultures. The discovery of microorganisms and advancement of medicine may be our civilization’s greatest achievement.
Yeah, it doesn’t :(
