  1. Google was taking over phone way too much even though I had most Google programs & services disabled. Finely used Shizuku & ShizuTools to "uninstall" recommended apps via wireless debugging.

    (Note: read all information & warnings before using Shizuku)

    Shizuku: shizuku.rikka.app/
    ShizuTools: github.com/legendsayantan/Shiz

    The phone is working great again. I can highly recommend using: Shizuku & ShizuTools!

  2. #Google secretly reactivated #Chrome on my #smartphone, which I had intentionally deactivated (unfortunately, I couldn't uninstall it because Chrome came preinstalled). It's an uncomfortable feeling that Google can perform any actions on my smartphone without my consent, and I can't prevent it—at least not through normal means.

  3. Oh, look! Someone's trying to make macOS binaries run on Linux #ARM. 🤦‍♂️ Because, you know, what we really need is to make sure our Linux devices are as bloated as possible. 🙄 Just another day in tech where solving non-problems with overly complex solutions is a full-time job. 🛠️👨‍💻

  4. I’m not even joking when I ask this, can anyone recommend open source alternatives to Microsoft Word and the rest of office that aren’t full of bloatware, and that actually just fucking work? Please?

  5. The bigger the tech corporation, the more malware-like trash they seem to install. Wacom, Adobe, Maxon, Autodesk, …

    I wanted to deinstall the MacOS drivers for my Logitech mouse today, and once again it turned out I had to remove a lot of crap… 😖

  6. Brave Origin non è solo l'ennesimo browser basato su Chromium, ma forse anche una risposta ad un modello di sviluppo software non più sostenibile: quello di applicativi sempre più pesanti ed infarciti di funzionalità superflue e non richieste.
    Curioso come sia a pagamento ovunque, tranne che su Linux.

  7. Still can’t believe that a minor update of #MacOS requires 16Go of free space.

    26.5.2 > 26.6

    And since you asked, it needed about the same to go from 26.4 to 26.5.

  8. @sarahjamielewis somehow every software is currently changing into bloatware, spyware, trackingware, with "AI support", I hate that, luckily there are still small, manageable FOSS alternatives, but for how long?!

  9. Es kam eine setting Frage rein: Win 11 läuft in einer "gut ausgestattenen VM", ist dort genauso ressourcenfressend und lahm, wie zuvor auf der physischen Maschine.

    Debian auf dem host ist genauso anspruchslos und flott, wie Debian, Mint oder cachyos als Gäste.

    Es ist kein Äpfel-Birnen Vergleich 😉 auf meinen Laptop/Desktop(s) lief bis vor 2 Jahren Windows. Beruflich bin ich gezwungen Windows zu nutzen, habe den täglichen Vergleich.

  10. Cheap '16GB' Fridge: System Data Ejects Real Food

    An internal 'Snack Drone' takes 90% space, tossing your veggies.

  11. Damn, just finished FINALLY removing McAfee from my wife’s new ACER laptop. Took downloading the McAfee Consumer Product Removal Tool from the firm’s website and then running it to get it done. Freaking #BloatWare that we didn’t ask for nor want. Kept redirecting my search to Yahoo, which my wife didn’t want either. Pain in the ass, it was.

  12. A relative of mine is looking for a new #Android #phone. They use all the #Google services, because they don’t know any better. (They are not tech savvy.)

    #Question: Which brand sells relatively cheap phones without #bloatware? (Well, without their own bloat ware. Google’s bloat ware is fine, apparently. 🙄)

  13. Linux - wieder fällt auf, wie ressourcenschonend ein OS sein kann. Auf dem Notebook läuft der Debian Host + 2 virtuelle Debian Maschinen, eine mit 16 GByte eine mit 8. Auf den Guests nutze ich Office, Browser, Mailclient, Remote Desktop, es sind mehrere Programme geöffnet - Lüfter ist aus, Speicherbelegung lächerlich gering.

    Unter #Windows 10/11 war das eine CPU & RAM zerreissende Ressourcenschlacht, Notebook immer am Limit, Lüfter auf 100%.

  14. It’s actually unbelievable: just for fun, I decided to go through the entire Windows 11 installation process on my new MSI Cubi. Let’s see how it goes these days.

    What can I say? Unbelievable! It took almost TWO HOURS just for the initial updates before I could even start setting it up! Are Microsoft’s servers that slow? The download took forever, not to mention the installations… And then the worst part: the pre-installed bloatware! Dozens of crappy third-party programs—and of course, they all want your data and a subscription… But Microsoft takes the cake: 22 (!!!) installations of Office 365 in the respective national languages! And each one is around 7 GB! That’s just 150 GB for a piece of junk software! And uninstalling each Office installation takes several minutes...

    I’m going to stick with this crap anyway, just because I want to know how much of my life setting up Windows 11 with MSI’s bloatware is going to waste today. The day’s already gone to hell anyway.

  15. "Im FAQ behauptet Microsoft nun auch, dass 8 GByte offenbar für gewöhnliche Arbeiten ausreichen" 😂 ja ne, is klar, Windows kommt mit 8 GByte Speicher aus 🥳

    Ich erlebe das von Mo-Fr im Büro, was passiert, wenn Windows so wenig Speicher hat und ich mache nichts so besonders herausforderndes am Rechner.

  16. Oh joy, another "all-in-one" Node.js #toolkit that promises to revolutionize the universe 🌌. Because clearly, what #developers need is more bloated, bun-like tools to slow down their workflows while claiming to "automate" and "secure" everything with a sprinkle of AI magic 🦄✨. How did we ever survive without this "fast" innovation?

  17. Homeoffice auf #CachyOS mit allem Nötigen im Browser offen (Teams und co.) => 5-6 GB RAM.

    Office mit #Windows11 mit gleicher Software, aber aufgeblasenem OS => 18 GB RAM.

    wtf
