the war on computation

Mine also updated recently and now my phone is performing considerably worse
yeah mine's been sucking down battery noticably more since

We're getting close to the point where "running a stock ROM" is on the same level of inadvisable as "using a web browser without ad blocking". The latter of which was, btw, also not that big if a deal like ten or fifteen years ago.

I routinely get a Samsung notification telling me to agree to some new agreement thing. I swipe it away. It just reappears in 48 hours or so. I swipe it away. We've danced this dance for years.
I don't know what it's for, I don't care, and things are just fine as is. There's nothing it it for me so, no.
Same with WhatsApp for me, there are new terms and conditions that allow engagement with businesses and sharing some personal data with them, I've been rejecting that shit for four years now, they still keep asking.

btw you might be able to block notifications from that app with long clicking

Still running good with LineageOS.

No, it doesn't let you disable this notification unfortunately.

How can an "infosec" run stock Android?

I do the same. I'm close to just delete my samsung account because I don't really need and/or use it.

I'm sure that they would choose to interpret the swipe to clear it as a click
but yeah my last phone I did that for several years. nope, no thank you.
every time I start my TV I have to say I don't want the new firmware because it comes with a new privacy policy / user agreement

oneUI or whatever really made it worse
I went from an s9+ to an s23. it felt great
then I got a forced OS update and it feels like I went halfway back to the beat to shit s9 again

I have a desktop I built in 2019 with no TPM running. Windows 10.
Starting a couple of months ago, occasionally when it boots it will automatically open a full-screen ad for Windows 11.
It's extremely disruptive because of my setup. I use my monitors and keyboard for my work laptop and have a KVM to switch between the two, and since I use that space for work I don't like to spend much time there for recreation. So I often turn my desktop on and run it headless whenever I'm done with work, and don't see the ad, which then messes up my attempts at streaming. So I need to walk back upstairs to switch the KVM and close out of it manually.
No matter how many different "permanent" solutions I can find on the internet it keeps finding a way to do it again every couple of weeks. I've moved to Linux on most of the rest of my personal machines, but this desktop has all my old music production software that needs Windows. I'm getting pretty close to just investing in a different music production platform that works with Mint though.

I ignored a recent update that would give me some AI bullshit. After a few weeks, they just pushed the download to me and gave me a notification of a scheduled reboot to finish the install. Frustrating to say the least...

And the app still works? Mine told me it was compulsory and would stop working if I didn't agree

At some point it annoys me so much I just hit accept. It's probably nothing anyway.

Sometimes it's true but they'll always let you agree later if they do disable things, so always reject them the first time, in case its an empty threat.

Seriously this. I don't understand why suffering through manufacturers, customized skins and os's makes any sense when lineage is such a solid option.
Lineage on my phone Linux on my computers degoogling services running on a micro cluster. It's never been easier to get away from big tech.

I know it's been rough for a buddy in a similar situation, but if you're an ableton user, he's found bitwig to be the closest thing to come to what he needs. But I believe he's still had some driver trouble in places. I don't do much myself as a full-time linux user, but what I ave done of late I've used in-the-box deals like an MPC Live for the heavy lifting, then recorded into
Microsoft Paint for AudioAudacity on my actual machine from the box. -

Can I ask which version of Win 10 are you running? I have never run into this with Windows 10 Enterprise (or Education) versions.
