which is something matrix bridge based iMessage solutions like Beeper don't do

Which is precisely what makes Matrix the better option for this, albeit still not great

Now for the important question though:

Do they allow the user to uninstall those apps like any other app?

Why even do this in the first place, when Matrix Bridges have been a thing for ages now?

(Note: I don't like Matrix Bridges either, they're problematic in their own right)

• no bloatware

Does it come without GApps? Most people don't need half of those

It's quite easy if you never were (much) on social media to begin with

Well that was short-lived, but not unexpected

Microsoft

Will their new project at least not be racist and xenophobic this time?

Scandalous

I can't promise getting you the results you want, but I can always try and see if there is something I might be able to help with.

DMs are indeed a thing, though they're basically just comments only you and I can see. Well, and the instance admins.

Older MacOS versions had stuff like the chess game preinstalled for no reason, though I don't know how current versions look like.

I also don't know how easy it is to remove preinstalled apps nowadays. Back in the day, you could disable System Integrity Protection, remove whatever you want, and re-enable Protection afterwards.

Sometimes, you just get the bad luck of the draw, and your combination of hardware and software throws tantrums like this.

It certainly happens

I've read you can sync accounts and auto-publish your YT uploads to Peertube?

Sounds like the inital setup of choosing an instance and making an account is the most effort you're going to go through

Giving out a phone number harms anonymity, which is something they never claimed to give you.

I'd like not having to use my number as much as you, but lets be angry about it for the right reasons, at least

xed supremacy

Same for me, but so far I have no idea why it happens

Okay, I don't have any of those games. But looking at Anno 1404 for example, lots of reports on ProtonDB say to run DX9.

One Finger Death Punch has only a single recent report, which decribes problems exclusive to the Deck, so idk.

Stacklands' recent reports look pretty much exclusively positive, so honestly, something about your system might be borked.

What troubleshooting steps did you take? Clearly something is wrong.

Edit:
You know, I always like to help, but you don't provide much info.

Can't speak for controllers other than the wired Xbox 360 one, but EndeavourOS itself has never given me any of the other problems you described.

It's not 100% issue-free, though that's mainly the fault of Nvidias' driver.

What I'm really confused about though is your systems' inability to make wine/proton work properly.

What hardware are you running, and what are some games you intended to play?

You can just add lists to uBlock to your hearts content, though?

Personally, I remove about ads incessantly because they're not just ads anymore nowadays.

They serve double-duty as trackers, and with how easy it is for malicious actors to hijack them (and ad businesses like Google evidently not giving a fuck), they're a genuine security concern, too.

If ads were just ads, then I'd be fine with them. But their current state is just... bad.

But please tell your contacts that you're using bridges, if you haven't already.

You are effectively giving away encryption keys to a third party, since those messages need to be decrypted and re-encrypted mid-transit.
Everyone who is part of the chats you use bridges with deserves to know about that fact, at least.
