Because like Iphones most android phones do not support sdcard expansion. You need to get a budget android or an Expensive sony phone to have this feature.

That same page says those systems can use 64-bit signed integer to store date time even on 32bit systems.

Install https://f-droid.org/packages/dnsfilter.android that should limit tracking to a good extent. Also limit battery usage for this app so it does not run in the background without reason.

If your OS has a data usage option for apps. You can limit that from settings.

Any more privacy would entail advanced settings like installation this app in a secondary profile of your android, etc.

I simply have my most used commands in history. I just need to remember the command start and its done. Yay fish!

But, I should start saving the commands in a file backup in case the command ever gets lost.

Stupid stuff like this is the reason I use Ublock-Origin. Before that I used to use Umatrix when it was maintained. I blocked just about everything and had countless rules for my most visited websites so idiotic stuff wouldn’t load.

Nowaways, I block 3rd party frames and call it a day. If my connection is slow I can block pictures, javascript and 3rd party bloat to reduce bandwidth and browse basic sites.

If you were compromised follow the recovery steps mentioned in the article to reduce the damage.

Dang, you got me! Let’s hangout together, Or is that not done anymore?

Good, I’m guessing Graphene or LineageOS?

ADB is meant for developers. It wouldn’t be far fetched to think restrictions could be added in Android 20-22 to limit the usefulness.

Besides, developers would be less enthusiastic with ID verification and all. Not to mention it would be difficult for Fdroid to operate and distribute apps.

As you should when you setup Android with a google account.

Yeah, we should probably meet it someday.

Google will just run AI to remove objectionable pictures from calling card.

This is the foundation. You are probably thinking about the corporation.

Yes, it hasn’t released but will be later.

You can get a motorola which will support grapheneOS starting this year.

Absolutely, no. I don’t want to jump hoops or follow complicated procedures and wait a day or longer to start using the apps I want to use on my device I paid with my bills.

If we are on the subject of app installation. Desktop users can already install any and all apps that they desire. Your malware scanner will warn you if you attempt to install a malicious software.

For those people who cannot think for themselves advanced protection mode already disables app installation not approved by play store. So, even this point is moot. Besides, if we let google do this they may add age verification like some social media websites.

The comparison to bootloaders is also a stretch. People in this Lemmy community are so quick to enflame and enrage themselves, it’s worse than Reddit…

Maybe, they have the foresight to see how much worse it can get. It started with the advanced protection setting a year ago. Later OEMs started to add restrictions to bootloader unlock methods. Some like samsung simply removed it with latest software updates.

I’m aware. But, why should I go through so many extra steps and wait 24hrs to install apps on a phone I paid. Also, who is to say they won’t increase the requirements later in the name of “security”?

This is not a thing on Linux and Windows. Why should it be on android?
