that's a replacement to be used on a clean system, but it does not help removing an integrated gms

you can just silence all the notifications, and still know which messaging app out of the 5 has new messages, and whether you got emails, etc

the most noticable change is when the developer built all functionality around every kind of firebase service, and didn't care to handle the case when those are not available

that's not my experience, but maybe they changed something recently

that's true, I meant when you install opengapps to it

yeah, but they use immutable system images that you can't change even if you wanted to. KDE's update system is integrated with a systemd component that does the installation after a reboot, I think nowadays that's the best of both worlds

but does it load all libraries into ram at startup? there's also all the resource files, including omni.ja that has a bunch of javascript code

It's interesting because instead of "display manager" it should be "graphical login manager", and the current "login manager" should be called "session manager". I don't know the origin of the name, though.

and while we are at that, MPV also has a working reverse play implementation (though that's like a slideshow), and it can very seamlessly do frame by frame playback, the hotkey of which just does normal playback perfectly while it's long pressed

it literally has a lower CPU consumption, even when using hardware decoding. and even when playback is paused.

lower CPU consumption means more free resources for other programs, and lower power usage, which is more battery life.

it also seeks much smoother, I mean quicker with less delay

good luck "removing" that while not breaking the system. It so deeply integrates itself that you can't really remove it even from a lineage os install

it tells you on a new tab. if you continue without restarting it you'll see its already falling apart

what is P2P? I thought that's the category the others fit into

sure, then already open programs will start malfunctining left and right, because they assume they have x version of files and libraries on a path, but in the meantime it has been replaced with version y. firefox and thunderbird are especially sensitive to it, but are not the only one.

unattended upgrades work fine on a server with relatively simple programs, but on the desktop world things are different.

it would be pretty useful if we could do this with the more popular distros, but I think we may be stuck with the way where you create an admin account for yourself for maintenance, and when you give the machine to them you make a new account for them too.

but I'm curious. how will you solve keeping the system up to date? Especially the web browser, but all the other things too

where you can just start the installer and it does everything for you, including users,

that sounds exactly what OP does not want? especially because they still habe to wait it over until the installation completes, before they can create the users and show them around the computer

this is an actual blessing, as the mobile site of facebook is intentionally buggy, and the site is so complex that if you try to come up with ublock rules to hide all the deceptive things ("open the app!", "you might be interested in xyz!", and the broken messenger button), then random other parts of the page will break, like the 3 dots menu of any posts, if not now then at most 2 weeks later

burning forests just so that the actual brainless users don't have to think about whether to decline the notification permission! good job google!

Lets just hope nobody steals my credentials, not that tey're worth too much lol.

well, access to gullible acquaintances, in your name no less, is very valuable

what do you use x-eyes for?
