With root?
Having a superior backup and restore method, Swiftbackup rooted is way better than Google's solution.
Hassle free ad-less YouTube (and YT music) the root apps (Magisk or KSU) come with a way to auto update, so, from the user side I just hit update and I am good to go, no need to waste time patching the apks myself.
I can replace the Google news from the side/left menu with whatever app I like, in my case, the Feeder app.
I can go on, but you just asked for 3.
I moved to Android for the 1st time ever in 2020 from an iPhone 6s.
The device I decided to go with is a Poco F2 Pro which lost official support years ago, it has decent hardware and even the battery still holds up (with a good custom ROM, I still achieve 8 hrs of SOT).
It just took me about a year, or perhaps less to move to the custom ROM scene, and for me I can't ever go back to stock Android ever, even when it is a big step regarding iOS features (except for LS customization) the amount of stuff you can do with rooted android device is no joke.
My only regret is that I was never in the prime days of rooting... At least Telegram communities are super active, not that it is better... But personally I prefer it to discord lol.
I was in the prime days of jailbreaking though, too bad that they seem to be doing worse nowadays.
Short answer: yes.
Medium answer: yes because I want to not use Sync for Reddit to get into anime, Plex/Kodi/Stremio/Real Debrid/Arr stack, and handhelds communities.
I could care less about trending shit and reels reposting... But that is the downside of exponential growth I guess.
Only the Bitwarden back-end uses proprietary code
So this was what it changed then?
I also self-host Vaultwarden because it is stupidly simple...
Do you know if I need to reconfigure my folders?
I guess if the transition is not smooth there is still time for them to adapt something until the very end...
On another hand, it seems like we all deposited all our eggs in one basket huh?
I really can't think of many Synching replacements... Even when I know there are a few.
Do people really use VLC to listen to music?
I can take that argument but also, how is that people is that unaware of how to do these kinds of process, many of those people study or work in something that relates with tech, are you telling me it is just because they didn't learn of use it in their earlier days?
Also, it is way easier to pirate nowadays than before, that evolved too you know?
I'd say the biggest culprit is laziness... Or entitlement.
It would be a real shame that they moved onto the next big thing while the Steam Deck is not even widely available.
I'd love that it had the feature that Feeder has to fetch incomplete RSS articles and put them in a nice view... Only because of that I have used Feeder more as of lately (still Feedly is my main RSS source).
DNS challenge? It is the 1st time I read about it.
I suppose in your LAN you need no VPNs then?
Hmm, interesting, how would I start doing this?
I use a Synology NAS BTW, so it already gives me a Synology subdomain to mess around.
While it is true that you can install those modules to hide it, I wouldn't say they are the only reason to stick rooting lol, a lot of apps work way better with root permissions, Battery Guru, FKM and AdAway are 3 good examples that I can think of right away.
