The swapiness section is incorrect. If I remember correctly swapiness does the same thing for swap and zram, which is how quickly the given partition starts to fill up. So for swap on hard drives you want it as low as possible, so you're using swap as late as possible. For zram you kinda really want it as high as possible, especially when the amount of ram is low, so it starts compressing early.

Some Android OEMs experimented with zram swapiness over 100, up to 200, so it would start compressing immediately.

I think that was already in the RAM crisis, so that was priced in. I think it would be a lot cheaper w/o the whole price boom.

You say that like MV2 version didn't need extensive workarounds to block YT ads.

Kind of same, I bought my LCD deck in late 2022, got a 1Tb SSD but just never really vibed with it. The only game I truly enjoyed on it was Disco Elysium. Will see if the new game from ZA/UM is any good. If not I'll just sell it and the SSD.

He's been against it way before MAX was a thing. He visited russia, yes, like a lot of expats with families that are stuck back there. His last visit was in 2021, again, way before MAX was a thing.

If you ever actually lived under the regime where censorship was real - you'd be on Telegram too. When internet goes down and nothing works - Telegram keeps working.

Durov is about as anti-Putin and russia in general as one can get. He go fucked hard in russia and has been going extremely hard against the censorship in russia. TG is one of the few chat apps that can avoid russia's suppression measures, when everything else working over internet fails.

Oh God not this stupid tweet again. He's "hacking" it from a rooted phone. You can't just willy nilly edit those files like that on a normal phone. Fml I would've written a CN under that.

On top of that they didn't infiltrate anything.

The advanced flow is perfectly reasonable and I'm 100% sure there will be Magisk based bypasses for it if you absolutely require Google services + APK installs. The percentage of people installing legit 3rd party APKs is miniscule compared to the number of elderly scammed by these shitty apps. Glad Google is taking steps to close this security hole. Just wait the damn 24h you impatient "poweruser". 100% sure that there won't be a full lockdown or an extension of the timeout cuz this is gonna close most, if not all of the holes for these shitty apps.

How is this unreasonable? This is to prevent cases where people are told to urgently install the app while on a call, so the call has to be broken and person has a day to actually do something about the call.

Are you that zoomer brained to not be able to wait a day to install your APK?

Oh boy. They don't host these ads, there are plenty of ad providers that happily do though, outside of Google businesses (Meta). Google also isn't one homogenous business, Android people don't have direct access to the ads people.

This is about scams because 99% of all apk installs come not from basement power users installing cracked apps, but from the older people that are all too trusting to the internet that they're browsing.

A lot of you have never seen your loved ones get some shitty app on their phones and it shows.

You live in a bubble. The roles are inversed. This is "ruining" Android for the 0.001% of power users that install .apk files and improving it for the huge chunk of population that are still getting hit by malicious ads that try to push app installs onto you.

Just a few days saw a post about LLMs being excellent at reasoning because they're not limited by the language, sure buddy, now walk your fucking car.

No, neither of them register as a blip on the usage stats and both have, and will continue having, priority access through OEM partnerships.

It's not that difficult, plenty of ROMs exist, and analogues of all the apps exist as well.
