This must be some weird American thing. I’ve gotten pixels on contract before in my country and I can OEM unlock and flash them no issue. If you don’t pay the cell carrier will just blacklist the IMEI. They don’t lock down the device itself.

Aegis is for Android, Ravio is an iOS app.
It is still possible if you have an old enough Kindle. I have a 1st gen paperwhite and can just connect it via USB to my PC and pull books off the kindle with Calibre and then remove the DRM.
Though if you’re wanting to remove DRM from Kindle Unlimited books, you’ll have to actually edit the DeDRM plugin code, as by default its set to not let it be run on KU books.
Shit like this is why I use a DeGoogled phone. Get a Pixel and install GrapheneOS or CalyxOS and use open source apps wherever you can, and sandbox any Google Play apps you have to use (banking, etc).
if you have TCP only and decentralized peers/peer exchange/local peers turned off in qbittorrent (a good security idea if you’re using a VPN to torrent already), you’ll get added security at the cost of less peers. Not to say that’s for sure what’s going on for you, but if you have sane settings for security, it could well be the cause of the discrepancy.
Try Organic Maps on F-Droid. It seems to have no anti-features and is pretty solid in general.
That’s truly odd, I’m running a Ryzen 5600G and a 6700XT and the game is rock solid (Fedora 38, Gnome, Wayland). Runs great on Steam Deck as well. I wonder if the RX580 is the culprit? If MESA is up to date, try a newer kernel for updated Radeon driver? (I assume as Ubuntu 22.04 is LTS that you’re on an older kernel)
You’ll be fine so long as you aren’t getting mass downloads of copyrighted material from your account.
YouTube wants to double dip by collecting and selling your data, and forcing you to either get served ads or pay them $15/month. They want to have their cake and eat it too.
Well, I originally used Jerboa as it does as well, but with the current version problems I had to do something else until it’s fixed.
F-Droid does their own builds of apps, they don’t use APKs released by devs. So updates from them are down to however long they take to get it done. If you want faster updates, you can add the Izzy on Droid Repository to your F-Droid client, as they update from the releases on GitHub and Jerboa is available there as well, and updates more quickly.
Even so, breaking Jerboa app access to every lemmy instance that isn’t lemmy.ml is a bit of a big oops. Especially during a period of tons of new users who may not understand what the problem is. Hopefully steps can be taken in the future so that it doesn’t happen again.
NexusMods is working on their new post-vortex mod client, which does have Linux support. It can be found here on github.
