Me too, and I'm surprised how I haven't. As a kid I used to pirate stuff from tons of shady websites without any antivirus software on an outdated Windows XP.
Wdym by dead on performance? works fine for me.
And yeah, I feel like I'm nailing my feet just to avoid walking into a trap here lol. I should relax, I've minimized a LOT of data collection already.
Any good browser suggestion you have?
I am aware of that feature, but I can't do the same for a few essential system apps that constantly ping chinese IPs for whatever reason.
As for my browser, I mostly use Tor browser for browsing/reading and Mull for downloading and streaming.
Am I being too paranoid? lmao
Yup, you are right. Mobile banking seems to be really difficult on custom ROMs and overall it just brings too many issues. I will keep using the stock ROM for now (HyperOS). I have google play services disabled, all Gapps and Xiaomi bloatware apps deleted. I feel like that's good enough. RethinkDNS to block internet connection from apps that don't need it. I shouldn't let "perfect" get in the way of good.
Do you have any other suggestions to make my phone a bit less of a data mine?
I hope they do the same for my phone. Any way I can check if it's being maintained? Thanks.
Germ Theory
Diseases used to be associated with paranormal powers or the wrath of gods in most cultures. The discovery of microorganisms and advancement of medicine may be our civilization's greatest achievement.
Do the unofficial builds get regular security updates, though? Even if they do, I don't think it's the best idea to rely on two independent developers at the same time, I'd rather not have multiple points of faliure.
Oh don't worry about it, mistakes happen.
Paranoid Android seems to be working on Android 14 right now and they are regularly publishing updates on their discord/telegram groups. They seem like a pretty active team, I'll just go ahead and flash the ROM I guess.
I've already seen this page before.
The title says [UNOFFICIAL] and the rom isn't available in the actual LineageOS official website. Is this version really safe?
I have a Redmi Note 11, I am planning to install a custom ROM. This is the first time I'm about to do something like this.
How good of a reputation does the Paranoid Android OS have? Will I get good long term support? How functional is it?
Halo:CE. The controls were too floaty and the level design got WAY too confusing somewhere in the middle of my playthrough. Never finished it afterwards.
I wish I could run it on my PC, though.
(｡╯︵╰｡)
Maybe someday when I can afford a better device.
A significant number of comments have mentioned Rimworld, guess I'll install it. Thanks for your recommendations!
I've Played both Fallouts and loved them! I will remember to try out Mafia, It looks similar to the old GTA games at a glance. Thanks!
I'm seeing Rimworld and Factorio in a lot of the comments here. I have played Factorio already, great game. Guess I'll try Rimworld now.
I recently booted up Half-Life 2 to replay it. I have played the absolute shit out of this game before, so 60% of it just feels like a drag to me now. It was such an amazing game but it's sort of spoiled for me after I've played it too much.
I also discovered ULTRAKILL a few months ago. I feel like I could play that game forever. It has tons of content, weapon combinations and higher difficulties with different enemy behaviour.
Do any of you have more game suggestions like Ultrakill? A really replayable singleplayer game.
!!BTW I don't mean online multiplayer games or games similar to candy crush!!
Wow that's strange. It always allowed me to continue as a guest without signing up most of the time before. I wonder what triggers it.
Are you using a VPN or private DNS? It worked after I disabled by VPN connection. It worked once on chrome too(with VPN), just once though.
There is no longer an option to use ChatGPT without an ID on chatgpt.com for me. Is anyone else having the same problem?
Do you know of any songs that an average person wouldn't easily find on the internet, but is still worth listening at least once in a lifetime. I highly encourage music that isn't in English.
