Assuming there are 2.5 billion active android devices out there, aand there are 3.2 million LineageOs devices, which is definetively a lower bound, as many users deactivate telemetry or use another ROM, this equals ~0.1% of all Android phones.

If you look at the country stats, that percentage is even higher for the US.

And you are missing another point alltogether: Percentages are deceiving when it comes to sufh immense numbers like # of Android users. 0.00x% can (and do!) still form a meaningful, thriving, somewhat large community.

As to your other points: I was wrong apparently. But I was explicitly asking for dissent. You were just rude.

Oh, ok. Thanks for linking it! :)

You are a hero, never change :)

Wait, there are fruits/veggies that get this kind of treatment by typical customers? Please list a few.

Getting root access is not though. (Right? Or is it easy nowadays?)

Can you

• Load a Custom ROM (along the likes of LineageOS, GrapheneOS, ...) on your iPhone
• use alternative app stores that are not a walled garden (like F-Droid)
• sideload apps alltogether without an App Store ?

(If there are possibilities, then please tell me and I will reevaluate my opinion. This is not meant as flame, rather as criticism 🤨 .)

I can provide nothing specifically to the topic at hand, but a great resource is ProtonDB (here the CS2 specific page). You can see which launch options, workarounds, etc work on which distro, GPU, ...

If you get it working, consider posting there, so others can benefit from your knowledge 😀

Can't you just clone it and run the command?

Many people here suggesting a throwaway email and/or VPN. While this does migitate the impact somewhat, the only proper response is to not use their "service" and deactivate the WiFi fo your phone (else they might be tracking your MAC address).

I do understand your scepticism towards companies; the reason for my question was that I got the impression from your first comment that you don't like/install MIT code and was just confused as to why someone might dislike that.

I agree. If it were a bit more compact, I'd like it more.

I know that MIT is no Copyleft license, but is that really a problem?

Coo, thanks for the info! FYI, the best place for those kind of Linux reviews is ProtonDB (here directly linked to the game). You can specify and filter for --launch-options, distro, GPU, ...

Thanks! I just ran vulkaninfo and it's there. Btw: You can check your version apparently with vulkaninfo | grep driverInfo.

What does that mean for my RX 5600XT?

Great read, thanks for sharing this!

I am sceptical. The paradox of 'DoNotTrack' is, that this setting is used to track you; it gets ignored and, as most users do not have it enabled, makes you more unique.

Someone said, that this new setting is legally enforcable in California. We shall see how it applies to the rest of the world.

FYI Kagi has an integrated Blocker/Upranker/Downranker similar to this. Under their stats page you can see, which domains have been blockes/raised/... the most.

The most hated one by far: Pinterest and all locale-specific sub-domains.

Typo, you mean DoH at some point in your comment.
