kirk781@discuss.tchncs.deOPto Android@lemmy.world•Why are we still fighting smartphone bloatware in 2025?English2·9 months agoThat’s true. Graphene is majorly Pixel limited, I guess. And even Lineage has a small set of devices when one considers the nos of OEMs and variants they manufacture per year.

kirk781@discuss.tchncs.deto Reddit@lemmy.world•Reddit keeps taking down this post after it hit 50k upvotes. Other subreddits, like linkedinLunatics keep reposting.2·9 months agoHave you even seen r/india? It’s the inverse of what you have written. Criticising the govt is the rule there, in fact, there was a whole subreddit called r/indiadiscussion originally dedicated for meta linking of why people got banned from r/india. (r/indiadiscussion isn’t meta only anymore but if one trawls through the old posts, assuming they aren’t deleted, one can see the breadth of bans from r/india)
It’s r/indiaspeaks that was originally formed as a free speech bastion that turned rightwing because the main sub was staunchly on the opposite side of the spectrum(and loved to use the banhammer).
I don’t think I can link usernames here but a notorious powermod of r/india used to moderate r/worldnews as well and banning from once meant ban from the other.

kirk781@discuss.tchncs.deOPto Android@lemmy.world•What Happened to the Android One Program?English2·9 months agoI have a Nokia C01 Plus. It was very cheap and it’s just kept, only used occasionally by me. It has Android 11, probably Go version only.
Otherwise, my main phone was littered with bloatware(looks at Realme).
kirk781@discuss.tchncs.deOPto Android@lemmy.world•What Happened to the Android One Program?English14·9 months agoHMD, the spiritual successor to Nokia, still produces the odd phone (latest being the HMD Fusion) that is close to stock Android in feeling. The author mentions that folks looking for stock Android are well served by Pixel A series of phones but they are still overwhelmingly expensive, Atleast in emerging markets.
kirk781@discuss.tchncs.deOPto Android@lemmy.world•Can Harmony OS Next be a genuine Android alternative now?English61·9 months agoThey are a major force in the Chinese market so maybe it might see some traction there, but otherwise, I still don’t see a third mobile OS getting genuine market share.
I could be wrong, but didn’t previous generation of Samsung A series phones come with eMMC storage. I think this has UFS 2.2, so slight increase there as well.
But I agree that overall it’s an incremental upgrade only. And base model of 4GB RAM might not hold in the long term. I had/have an entry level Samsung phone(A05 I guess), but that stutters much

I know they allow for more dense and higher batteries to be packed in slim packaging but didn’t knew if there is any potential downside.
kirk781@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•What are your thoughts on Zen Browser becoming a lot more popular than Floorp?5·10 months agoAs for Arc, I have heard so much praise for it as if it’s the next best thing since sliced bread.
Wait, Sync for Lemmy is a subscription and not a one time purchase? Boost’s dev did a similar transition but only standard one time purchase there.

I got a similar phishing mail as well though not for my primary email account. Most of them just redirect to a similar looking login UI and ask the user to enter password.

kirk781@discuss.tchncs.deto Reddit@lemmy.world•The Reddit app keeps opening up the rewards menu when I tap to upvote7·10 months agoIf you are on Android, use RedReader. It still works with full functionality as before, except that NSFW subs can’t be opened. It’s available on F Droid as well.
I use Iceraven currently. It’s a Firefox fork. Back when I started to use it, It was one of only two browsers (other being Smart Cookie Web Preview) to support extension sideloading on Android.
I don’t think Iceraven is as hardened as Mull, but it is updated on a regular basis. Either case, for most folks, regular Firefox should do the trick. There is also Waterfox, another FF fork on desktop/mobile but it hardly has much to distinguish itself.
