This is a sopuli.xyz thread, lemmy.world mods don't have much authority here.
But yeah, the answer to bad moderation is the same as it was on reddit: make your own community, with blackjack and hookers.
At this point I feel like Netflix is encouraging this kind of content.
I don't really get the purpose of this law, "drugs that are illegal are now more illegal".
Crazy, hope you're safe and please do keep us updated.
Most of the tracking/backdoors is at the application level. Stock bloatware is a risk, less so the manufacturer's firmware. Even non-bloatware can be a risk, for example many core Xiaomi apps (eg Phone and Messages) have ads and the apps connect to Chinese servers to deliver these. How significant these risks are is subjective and down to your own personal opinion.
You should definitely try and remove bloatware that comes pre-installed. For one, you'll probably find a Facebook system app that the manufacturer bundled, this is separate to the actual apps you use their services with so why the hell would you want it? After that, you could try a custom ROM, particularly one based on pure Android AOSP, however leaving the manufacturer's firmware can mean you miss out on some functionality (cameras are notoriously more functional when you use the manufacturer's app).
Even with all that, there's still the possibility of hardware vulnerabilities. However, it would be difficult to exploit these without physical possession of the device.
Do you stuff it with ground up meat?
similar to how Valve says you shouldn’t open your Steam Deck because it will immediately make it less structurally resilient, you also shouldn’t open my living room PC because you might damage the precision-bent PCI slot cover plate keeping the graphics hovering above the case fans I had to use to replace the GPU fan shroud that wouldn’t fit in the case.
Lol
It's a class action, so the settlement ultimately depends on the size of the class.
What a way to go out lol. Also, watching the clips made me realise just how much of his stuff I haven't actually seen.
