Then don't remove snaps and you don't have to mess with anything out of the box.

I wonder why they settled

Because they were engaged in code theft, piracy and Nintendo had them dead to rights. Leaked chats and drive folders showed they were actively pirating games, paywalling questionable content and using the Switch SDK. Clean room emulation implementations are completely legal. Their methods and behavior were not.

I dont think it will be that extreme, being a liberal in America will be like being a liberal in America during the red scare.

How naive.

If Lemmy became popular, what would prevent any three-letter agency from opening a server to get all the user data?

What makes you think they haven't already?

Wait... did you just describe SovCit beliefs... or Religion in general?

Can't kill what is already dead.

The communities are all but gone.

The signal to noise ratio is the worst it's ever been.

Most subs are barely moderated. Actual mod involvement (as opposed to Automod) is low.

Reddit now openly collects and sells user data.

The Reddit we knew is dead and gone.

They 'allow' people to delete their posts and accounts...

But never actually delete anything from their databases. I've had years-old comments I deleted mysteriously reappear despite being gone for months.

First time I was prompted for a username, I happened to have a Roadkill Cafe poster on my wall. Couldn't find anything better in my room unless I was going to use "LampBookDumbassCat"

Dude spent $44Bil just so he could behave like an insecure reddit mod...

I suspect you feel that way because it's easier to know what DOES mine you, free or paid, on Android, than it is on any other mobile OS. Consequentially, it's also easier to block such stuff on Android with custom dns, custom roms, root and a hosts file or using apps to track the trackers like Exodus. So, no, I disagree: You say it's highly limited when trying to avoid those kinds of apps... We have F-Droid and other third party app stores. There's a plethora of FOSS apps that can replace the common garbage data collecting apps out there. People just don't want to make the effort and look a little bit harder elsewhere for what they would feel more comfortable using. That's why we have privacy nightmares: people are lazy.

Way to out yourself as an iDevice troll. Shame y'all have the exact same bag of tricks cause we could see that coming from miles away... but that's just what happens when the extent of your understanding of technology relies on something being called 'magical' before you'll use it.

Shame that you don't really care to address Apple's longstanding habit of overcharging for outdated specs as it is especially egregious. Especially when you consider I had an HP Envy 13 laptop that had 3200x1800 resolution, 8GB Ram and 256GB SSD... That sold for under $1000... In 2015. ($849.99.)

My guess will be hibernation file and swap. If any of those had suspend to disk enabled, the hibernation file will be the same size as installed Ram... which can take up a good percentage of that used space. I have a pretty bloated xUbuntu install on my system right now and it's sitting at 10.6GB. Including swap and /home, but no hibernation file.
