As an OSS user, and developper, OPT-OUT is a shitty practice. It should be opt-in to users who face crashes issues if they want to share that data (they care enough to provide their info to the dev to fix it). I know this makes users sound entitled, but otherwise the "opt-out" permission will be exploited by someone which will make users even more paranoid about OSS apps.

I know lots of people will say it's useless bla bla bla, but hear me out. Xiaomi still allows bootloader unlocking, this means you can remove their spyware firmwaew and put a decent AOSP alternative, with "unlimited" updates, or add support via postmarketOS.
This phone will be future proofed for a decade, as people said the same thing about phones with 6GB/8GB ofnl RAMs a decade ago.

Temporary solution, but works for now.

But OP did it first, and now he's already few steps ahead in the OS game, and prefers to let everyone know that he was there first. So stop these posts you guys.

Is dalle3 and midjourney using other methods?

Amaze file manager. Resurrected so many times. Great interface.

FOSS means that the app has its source available somewhere (usually github), and can be used to compile it. Additionally it has to have a compatible license. I doubt MiXeplorer has either.

Although I agree, it's tough to make a whitelist than a blacklist, as the latter requires only 1 bad decision, the former is tough to assess (how many good decision to be on the list, ex Microsoft support lots of open source projects, should they be added?)

Did they something in their recent API? How come OS van kill background apps if battery set to unrestricted?

It's mainly done for smart bome feature. People want fully automated homes, and right now more than 90% of all "smart devices are basically botnets. Zigbee ftw.

I feel every era had its "boogey man" issue. I doubt there was ever an era of "nothing to worry about"

Sure we can have a long debate about personal responsibility vs societal responsability. I would still argue that many people who grow up in 3rd world countries do no end up intrinsincly criminals by virtue of living with injustice. I just don't think that going full "Falling Down" mode on society is warranted in advanced democracies.

Look up the recent drama with Asus. They halted their bootloader unlockong server (which should exist) since mid-last year.

But, but, we definitely can reform him! /s

You can install proton on any linux distro. I game AAA on my arch distribution. Look into Heroic Launcher.

My only worry are EDCs. They are heavily present in plastic, and sous-vide bags are no exception.

EDIT: EDC refers to Endochrine Disrupting Chemicals, proven to be a big problem for reproduction.

Can you root? Does it have rom support?

I love everything about the zenfones except Asus not allowing bootloader unlocking. Deal breaker.

The only reason I am hesitant about mullvad is that they are swedish based

Reminder that Xiaomi at least allows you to unlock your phone (albeit after 1 week of waiting), and they have decent ROM support.
