My friend just got a new Xiaomi phone. He tried unlocking it a few days ago and got "try again in 168 hours". That happened in Europe. It's an absolute mess nowadays, I remember when they started blocking you from unlocking the bootloader. First you had to wait 24 hours, then 3 days, now it's an entire week. You also need to make sure you're logged into your Mi Account on both phone and PC and do even more weird fuckery to ensure the process actually go through. Meanwhile, on GOOGLE Pixel devices you just type one command after you enable oem unlocking in settings and reboot into fastboot mode. Crazy.

Yeah. As much as I love GrapheneOS and all the security work, sometimes I feel like their "ideal" setup is to just install GrapheneOS on the latest Pixel phone and use only the 5 or so built in apps, as everything else is insecure, brings additional code baggage and can introduce flaws. I don't think anyone can live like that.

It's actually a lot faster now with dnf5 in Fedora 41.

You don't need to type apt-get, you can just do apt upgrade.

KeepassXC + KeepassDX. Have been using them for years without ever thinking of alternatives.

Of course. You said YouTube doesn't pay enough, so I'm proving you that no amount of money will ever be "enough" for some people. I wouldn't expect creators to just reject lucrative deals with sponsors because "they already have enough money from youtube".

Yeah, I hate how they brigade discussions and spam bear stickers.

[-] DoeJohn@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

would not need to include

Yeah, I bet people like MKBHD are barely surviving without sponsors!

[-] DoeJohn@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Of course you can, unless you're on a certain lemmy instance.

It's not ready for everyday users when you disable basic multimedia codecs. I know it's a US patent issue but still, you can't expect newcomers and everyday users to just "install a browser via flatpak instead" or "just get your mesa and ffmpeg from this third party repo"
