Also works using an account from another instance, thought it might have been cross-linking incompatibility, but nope.

It would just sit there and be dormant.

It doesn’t remove them, it uninstalls the app from the current user profile, but they persist on system level. That’s what I meant with the comment in brackets.

It’s the best you can do if rooting is not an option, but I prefer a full removal.

Plenty of reasons.

• System wide adblock
• Advanced permission management
• Backups and exports of system apps
• Full uninstall of bloatware (instead of mere hiding them with adb)
• Enabling screenshots system-wide

And a bunch of other stuff I need in order to have a fully functioning device.

Nah they identify the protocol handshake and block it altogether, so you need to find a VPN with a proprietary protocol that keeps updating.

It’s probably a modified openvpn with some package obfuscation, but works surprisingly well.

SEO is spamming a link to your stupid blog all over Lemmy, apparently.

Astrill, only VPN with a good track record in China where I happen to live.

Most others crap out after a few weeks or months, and never bother to fix their protocols.

A mix of avira and malwarebytes locally, and virustotal if I’m especially sceptical.

Key Messages rocks. Comes with built-in badword filter and some other nifty config.

Not open source though.

He was also doing a PhD at the same time, and writing a dissertation is not exactly a small feat.

Yep it’s still a beta, that will be coming soon.

Lemmy Ultra = Sync Ultra

Lemmy Adfree = Sync Pro

The old app was simply too cheap, that’s that. One-off purchases for $2 are hardly sustainable for individual developers.

Ultra is another subscription with different benefits altogether.

Adfree is the regular pro version, which is way cheaper. Make sure you double check before you recommend pirating software.

That’s pro. Ultra is something else entirely.

$20 is what it takes to remove ads. Ultra is another subscription with different benefits altogether.

The actual blockers were fixed in the first couple days, if not hours. We are now at beta 23 within just 10 days since the internal testing began, lj has been working like a madman.

Sync is back. !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world, currently in closed alpha, public beta only days away.

Which launcher is that? I love Nova, comes with all the gestures I need.

14 years primary account, 11 years alt. Mod in several >1 million communities.

Deleted everything, replaced my comments (>15k total) and posts (>500, including announcements on subs moderated) with a message stating my reasons, and then deleted both accounts. Plus 4 alts I sparsely used, between 3-8 years old.

The app is asking for a million permissions that are completely unnecessary. They are just as much of a data kraken as facbeook, google and apple, with the exception of people being fully transparent about professional achievements and qualifications. That’s a definite reason to never give them access to my phone.
