but seeding more does not cost storage. why not let it seed until you delete it?

if it’s so that you can see which ones can you delete, just click on the ratio column to sort by that, and check which ones have a higher ratio

wait, are they really using it?

IT basically constructs several virus exe files during runtime FROM THE BYTECODE SECTION !!

what kind of viruses? what do they do? did you notice anything objectively bad that they do? or something fishy other than creating executables?

These exe files are what does the activation. It also installs backdoors, and potential malware !!

could you provide a little more details on what kind of backdoors does it install? and what malware?

this could be a big deal, but you didn’t provide anything that could be verified.

but there’s sqlite for that. how is this more?

that’s not the only feature of v2. it also hels a lot with swarm merging (which with v1 only biglybt implemented), and it has updatable torrents. it also stores torrent information more efficiently and the incoming pidces can be verified immediately. afaik today torrent clients don’t verify downloaded torrents by default. qbittorent has an option, default off, to verify after a torrent completed. this is slow because everything needs to be read again from disk. I’m not totally sure about this, but I think a malicious peer could be sending crafted pieces that contain something else and you wouldn’t know it.

I don’t want to add them. I want to remove them (if I had such a phone), like the top level comment in this thread says.

Adb commands for uninstalling system apps exist

which in my experience causes bootloops. even App Manager’s recent debloater feature warns of this

you are making choices for others. some apps require it. and then the post was about removing gapps, and my point was that it’s not possible to just uninstall it.

most people are not

• technically literate to install a custom rom with a computer’s command prompt
• willing to give up bank apps and sometimes phone based payment

even just considering the first point, it is really not just “some” effort. sure we can do it, but this is a very small bubble.
I think it’s comparable to replacing the windows on your house all by yourself, from selection, across acquisition and taking out the old one, to installing the new one nicely and with insulation.

ok, but that’s not what most people on this world use. they are basically stuck with a rom that has google services integrated

most people for whom I help configure their phones they don’t want to buy a new one. and they are often terribly afraid of used phones. I don’t have any google services on my phone, the problem is not about me, but lets be honest, the absolute majority of the world’s population

you can just silence all the notifications, and still know which messaging app out of the 5 has new messages, and whether you got emails, etc

the most noticable change is when the developer built all functionality around every kind of firebase service, and didn’t care to handle the case when those are not available

that’s true, I meant when you install opengapps to it

good luck “removing” that while not breaking the system. It so deeply integrates itself that you can’t really remove it even from a lineage os install

what is P2P? I thought that’s the category the others fit into

also, for context this seems to be a 2 years old beef

Tl;Dr: eche|off remembers zlatin and sends him away even before he could have wrote any hateful thoughts. then zlatinb introduces himself and shows his hate towards everyone not a straight white male. then also sends messages that are just otherwise weird, and basically speaks with himself, like an insane abuser does at his ex’s house right after a breakup. and channel members just handle him accordingly, by not responding to him and waiting for him to calm down and go away

then he puts it in a paste, and announces it publicly and proudly.

but Xeha also has a few interesting points, if what he says can be believed

also, does his praise of the C++ i2pd mean that it’s devs have similar beliefs, or is it because they haven’t said any “woke” thing yet?

even more so if you think about the newer ones recording their environment, the whole neighborhood etc, with cameras and/or radar/lidar

considering region locks and region based licenses are still a thing, you’re probably more of a criminal in their eye than openai will ever be

the GPL does not protect against information hoarding
