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!

Grüße aus China! Grad beim Mittagessen. Schönen Dienstag :-)

Borderline scam. It's just about sufficient to get a visa, but don't expect to get actual insurance coverage.

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

It would just sit there and be dormant.

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.

SEO is spamming a link to your stupid blog all over Lemmy, apparently.

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.

A mix of avira and malwarebytes locally, and virustotal if I'm especially sceptical.

Just block the !random community, done.

 

We are hoping to make this the new home for questions in, for and about Germany, in English.

Be nice to one another as we figure stuff out along the way.

Thanks!
