Casual Chatter (feddit.de)
submitted 2 years ago by [M] to c/germany@feddit.de
 

Hi all,

As our community is still small and not overly active, I thought instead of trying to have a weekly or monthly chatter thread up as a sticky, we could try a perpetual one and see what happens.

So anything you feel doesn’t warrant a post of its own, just put it here.

Cheers and take care!

Also works using an account from another instance, thought it might have been cross-linking incompatibility, but nope.

    It doesn't remove them, it uninstalls the app from the current user profile, but they persist on system level. That's what I meant with the comment in brackets.

    It's the best you can do if rooting is not an option, but I prefer a full removal.

    Plenty of reasons.

    • System wide adblock
    • Advanced permission management
    • Backups and exports of system apps
    • Full uninstall of bloatware (instead of mere hiding them with adb)
    • Enabling screenshots system-wide

    And a bunch of other stuff I need in order to have a fully functioning device.

    Nah they identify the protocol handshake and block it altogether, so you need to find a VPN with a proprietary protocol that keeps updating.

    It's probably a modified openvpn with some package obfuscation, but works surprisingly well.

    Astrill, only VPN with a good track record in China where I happen to live.

    Most others crap out after a few weeks or months, and never bother to fix their protocols.
