I hate these types of ads too, and they’re so common.

Also there are some ads which make the normal 5sec skippable video ads more like 30sec skippable ads. They’re usually game ads, where they show you a skippable ad after 5 seconds, then they make you play a mini-game of sorts for 10+ seconds and then it shows you a splash screen with the name of the game which you’re only able to skip after 5 seconds. Wastes so much time.

32GB!? These things have a lot of storage now.

Overpopulation.

Lemmy is far, FAR from a representation of the general public.

Bro got exposed by Google

1. This is not mildly infuriating. This is extremely infuriating. India has been making education more of a business than a social right for some time now and that has claimed many lives.

2. Maybe provide a source from media organisations that are not this dramatic, actually provides context and in a language 99% of people here can understand…

3. Don’t fucking use the clickbait YouTube title. Maybe type an actually relevant title!?

That’s late for a company that only has two phones, but I guess it’s a small company.

Many apps and launchers call it a ‘dock’

You can uninstall the app for the user, which achieves 99% of the same effect.

For my case though, on an older Samsung phone running Android 11, I was able to just use the uninstall command (not just for the user) for most bloat apps. Only a couple or so apps refused to be uninstalled entirely. It may not still be valid but it is possible.

Yeah exactly. It’s still effectively uninstalling the app though and should free up space. But it’ll still come back if you create another user.

You can uninstall even system apps via ADB

Yes

Not all apps respect this and still use its own special in-app browser

Rocket League Sideswipe is a pretty fun adaptation of regular Rocket League, and it has zero ads or zero in app purchases. It’s had no new content for literally months though but still, the core gameplay will still be very fun for a new player.

I use Squircle CE. It’s not really just a simple text editor, but it’s not complicated either. It should open pretty much any type of text document you throw at it.

The Xperia XZ1 Compact as another person suggested seems like a great fit. But I’d also like to throw in the Pixel 2 as an option. They are actually the only actually capable devices I could find. If I have to guess, the Pixel would be much more widely available than the Xperia. The Pixel probably also has better custom ROM support.

This is not mildly infuriating, this is extremely infuriating

Yes indeed, it seems like a silent promotion to build hype, but it’s more awkward than anything else.

Custom ROMs for phones with Dimensity processors (or really phones with anything other than Snapdragon processors) are almost non-existent
