Then How is Google different? From my view, It also manipulates search results.

I don’t understand what US problem with China is.

Note: I am not an American nor a Chinese. I have never used tiktok before. I am just an outsider trying to get a perspective.

thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, I know about that. But why is US limiting technological advancements in China? (By banning GPUs / companies).

I don’t see China doing the same.

I was not talking about censorship. I was talking about technological advancements.

But you have a fair point as this post is about censorship.

I was not talking about tiktok. I was talking about them banning sale of high performance gpus to china

In my country every platform is pushing some kind of bias from the government.Government can ask to remove any kind of content from YouTube, Facebook, tiktok, etc. Especially political ones.

I have seen YouTube favoring one party in particular in their breaking news section even on a new account.

On a sidenote, its good for tiktok to be banned, I hate short form content.

GSI are dominant now, device specific Roms are rare these days.

thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

Here you go: GSI List

thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

No, it’s not at least in my case. Actually GSI Lineage is a little bit faster due to less bloat than stock. But performance could be different for different devices.

Note: I experienced some bugs but all of them were easy to fix.

I am using Infinix X6831

thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, it’s an Asian brand. That’s why you have never heard of it.

thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

Even if your device is not listed, it is still supported. Every phone launched with Android 8 or greater support project treble. Thus, it also supports gsi.

which launcher would you suggest and why?

so I finally got the motivation to install lineage os to my phone after thinking about it like year. and now that I finally modified this phone I started thinking about ricing this phone a bit. I’m looking for a launcher that isn’t too minimalistic and with a decent amount of customization. kinda like kde bit you know…...

  1. Nova Launcher
  2. Lawnchair

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I’m working on a some materials for a class wherein I’ll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we’re including a section we’re calling “foot guns”. Basically it’s ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

For this very reason, I have aliased rm -rf with trash-cli

thequantumcog , (edited )
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

Could be varoius reasons. Some common ones:

  • distros can have different kernel parameters
  • unloaded kernel modules
  • different kernel parameters
  • older kernel/packages
  • missing packages

You can narrow down which distros work and which hardware support is missing. Also look at archwiki for that specific piece of hardware. You can find a lot of useful information even if you don’t use Arch.

thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

No, look up what drivers/modules/packages your hardware need and load them/upgrade/install on the buggy distro

thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

Here’s the fix (yoinked from archwiki)

thequantumcog , (edited )
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

I have infinix Hot 30. At least they allow bootloader unlocking which is becoming rare these days.

Even if custom Roms don’t exist, you can try gsi

thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

Can be caused by musl. Try glibc version

thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

You notice it on old hardware. On my Latitude e6220 (i3 2nd gen) there is a night and day performance difference between windows 10 and Linux.

thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

I use artix Linux with hyprland WM. System uses 384mb of ram on idle.

Edit: Even with extreme debloat you can’t get this performance on windows.

thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, you are right. But windows load programs Into ram that I don’t even want to use.

In addition to less ram usage thee is also less CPU usage and faster boot time (with HDD).

thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

Its an old laptop that only has 4 gigs of ram. I think performance is clearly visible when the fan in windows is spinning like crazy playing a YouTube video.

thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t care that much about security. For me lineage os is less bloated than graphene os.

thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

No, if you have another launcher installed with quickswitch support (like Lawnchair). Then you will be fine.

Note: QuickSwitch requires root. It’s for gestures and navigation support.

  • You can’t revoke android.permission.INTERNET at runtime. You can only revoke at install time. Since you don’t have root you can’t revoke that permission.
  • Did you check settings? There is an option to remove background data access from an app.
thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

Just remove as much permissions as possible. If you want more control rooting is still “the choice”. BTW Banking apps can work with root if that’s the concern.

If you don’t want root. Use a custom ROM like graphene(if your device is supported) or voltageos(if your device is not supported by graphene)

When people post YouTube links, is there a cool open source way to watch it on mobile without going through youtube, firefox, or downloading adblockers?

When people post YouTube links… is there a cool open source way to watch it on mobile without going through youtube? Because when I click on a YouTube link and I’m on my phone and it immediately gives me an ad it’s pissing me off like in a huge way… is there a way to bypass ads without an ad blocker on my phone

thequantumcog ,
@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

Libretube, tubular, newpipe, etc.

You need to reboot after turning it on
