At this point, I don’t really care about mobile processors, as long as it is good enough to run DS Games and have decent battery life. After all, I am not a mobile gamer.
My old huawei mate SE screen was starting to pop out. I think the battery was starting to go

This song has been in my head when I was writing this
I got a new phone the Realme XT.
I wanted the phone to ask which browser before opening the app, unfortunately oppo had chrome as the default, and chrome was unable to be removed/disabled (even after uninstalling all the chrome updates).
I decided to document my process of solving the problem here
I decided to search realme disable google apps
I found this xda forum thread
that had the following as a solution
cd /platform-tools
./adb
+ command for all adb commands./adb devices
and click allow on your phone./adb shell
pm
commandsI ran pm list packages | grep google
and found the gboard and google search packages. Then I tried looking for chrome the way to find it was to run pm list packages | grep android
to delete the packages, I ran pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package name>
to remove the google search, gboard, and chrome.
remove youtube
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.youtube
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.chrome
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.inputmethod.latin
pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.photos
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.hotwordenrollment.okgoogle
pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.ar.lens
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.googleassistant
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.services
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.katana
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.linkedin.android
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.tidal.campaigninstaller
When I was uninstalling the chrome package I accidentally ran pm uninstall -k --user 0 android
, luckily the phone denied the request and disconnected from my computer. I thought I had borked the phone.
After removing chrome, I decided to remove facebook since, I didn’t think it was actually removed. Running pm list packages | grep facebook
found the facebook packages. I removed each individually.
After using Linux for 4 years and solving problems in the command line, I have gotten me more comfortable with the command line. I doubt I would have felt as comfortable running these commands
So Oppo’s do not disturb only does it for time periods rather than by calendar events. Using polite can alleviate this, but it’s weird they cut it out when regular android has had this since android 8.0.
Though if I had to chose between those two options, I’d take the XT any day over the Mate SE. I rely heavily on custom notification sounds to decide responses
I learned today in Cinnamon that if all your windows are in different positions after leaving your computer (in a multi monitor setup), restarting Cinnamon (Alt + F2, r) will restore the old positions.
Before, I would have to reposition all my windows each time I logged on. This would usually take a minute or two, and long term I would be wasting a lot of time getting my windows into productive positions.
I learned how to transfer my sms history, since google messages, google phone transfer and my cell provider doesn’t transfer across phones
This tool was helpful in migrating it.
For whatever reason, uninstalling gboard removed my ability to use the share option to copy to clipboard. It must have occurred when I removed it here
To fix that I found this nifty app on fdroid

I asked a while back about what are recommended ad autoskippers and listed two I was interested in. I decided to use this one since it was open source with a github repository
Download Youtube Ad Auto-skipper for Firefox. Youtube Ad Skipper is an extension that auto skips ads after youtube provides a skip ad button. It does not block an ad.
A browser extension that automates skipping ad on Youtube. This is not an ad blocker, it just automates the process of clicking on the "Skip Ad" button on Youtube. - squgeim/yt-ad-autoski...
The autoskipper worked fairly well, until I decided to install it on my firefox work profile. While looking at it on my work profile, I decided to mess with the youtube channel whitelist. It was then, I found out I could skip ads with the extension. So I decided to remove the autoskipper addon and just used the channel whitelist to skip ads instead

The older autoskipper worked well. If anything either of the two are fine, it’s just a matter of preference.
Extensions/Addons never sit well with me as owners can change hands pretty quietly / probably are not the most secure things.
They probably aren’t, but that’s the tradeoff for convenience and depends what your threat model is. If you want to be the most secure and add extra work for yourself, you can just compile the extension yourself with the github code.
For me, I separate my work and personal profiles. I have minimal extensions for my work profile (https everywhere, canvas, youtube channel whitelist, cookie autodelete) and multiple privacy addons for my personal browsing profile (https everwhere, ublock, youtube channel whitelist, noscript, cookie autodelete canvas, trackme not, privacy badger, privacy protector, google iba-opt out).
I try to avoid doing anything private or sensitive on my personal browsing profile
Extensions/Addons never sit well with me as owners can change hands pretty quietly / probably are not the most secure things.
Some addons can be downloaded and installed in developer mode. Then you have to go download a new version.

I thought of this video today. The university semester is starting to end and this kept me motivated.
Searching for it also had these results

I noticed they were speaking Chinese in the video, that got me interested in looking up the languages used in Malaysia.
The indigenous languages of Malaysia belong to the Mon-Khmer and Malayo-Polynesian families. The national, or official, language is Malay which is the mother tongue of the majority Malay ethnic group. The main ethnic groups within Malaysia are the Malays, Chinese and Indians, with many other ethnic groups represented in smaller numbers, each with its own languages. The largest native languages spoken in East Malaysia are the Iban, Dusunic, and Kadazan languages. English is widely understood and s...

I was browsing Mangadex, and found this in the updated shounens category. The description looked interesting and it wasn’t a super long series so I gave it a read.

This was a good read, I liked how the author ended the story on a good note without needing a Deus Ex Machina. Instead both characters accepted the reality of their respective situations.
