For me it’s mainly a nice backup for when the Xbox or TV is occupied by someone else. I don’t think I’d use it as my prime source of gaming. It works but it’s not quite as good as the actual playing on your own hardware.
Saw that, isn’t it strange to never have seen that from any other app then?
Some tweaks to zsh maybe?

Looks pretty nice tbh! Probably going to stick to my current phone a few more years until it stops being updated but if I manage to break it this might just be the replacement.
Midnight commander is a pretty nice alternative!
Looked like ads at first. Gave me a slight cyberpunk vibe for some reason. At least big corpo dystopia.
I think this is it: https://labs.rs/en/invisible-infrastructures-mobile-permissions/
Yup, did that too! :)
Commenting so I can remember to try this out! Cheers mate!
It’s hard to draw an exact line somewhere too. You have to compromise or you’d end up worse than Stallman and Snowden combined. All technology ends up off limits then but still. Avoiding obvious and actually avoidable pitfalls is a good practice I think.
Defining and finding those pitfalls on the other hand…
That’s basically where I’m at as well.
Ignorance is/was bliss… I used to not care as much about security concerns but these days I’m a bit more paranoid when it comes to IT security overall.
True, these days I wouldn’t really flash a phone that’s till supported… but when they hit end of life it’s another story. Using an unpatched android phone isn’t exactly optimal.
That is a pretty good point to be honest.
It might be a bit safer… but you still have to trust the source?
But yeah, I flashed an official Lineage OS nighly that I got from their own site… It still bugs me though and I kind of wish it didnt. :P
It is a fair point to be honest.
Closed source could be a bit safer due to liability I suppose?
If they were to do something really nefarious and would get caught they’d get sued to pieces and probably lose most of the reputation?
Sure, a shady rom would lose it’s reputation as well but that’s about it. There’d be new ones out pretty quickly.
And for what it’s worth… I don’t think they’re doing anything shady… but still.
I mean, I use Linux on my main machine at home. That’s open source. I do trust that though…
This all struck me after flashing an old phone I had laying around (My main phone is supported for 2+ more years) and then feeling like… do I want to use this now? I got a slightly dirty vibe from in. :P
Being security conscious is annoying at times…
Yeah but how?
I mean, who’s going to verify the code? And then there are new nightlies every day. Sure they don’t contain that many changes, but you’d need to monitor them, for every rom on every phone. Well, maybe just for the one rom and the one phone model that interests you but that’s still not feasible if it’s not a paid full time job. If someone were to do that on their spare time they wouldn’t have much of that left :P
Exacly my concerns… and I don’t have the time or energy (hell or even the motivation) to go through all of their source code to find shady stuff.
I probably wouldn’t even find it if any was in there and hidden by someone who knows what they’re doing. :P
I used to use this extension a while back, seems to have been forked and Ihaven\t tried it lately but it did it\s thing back when I used it.
