Only now?
My Windows computer stopped felling mine when 10 came around

From shipping almost stock Android to this...
OnePlus fell so far...

Portal Revolution has a native build and it works great, highly recommend!

Well I hope it prompts first and deletes after...

You can probably already do this on Termux, since PiHole doesn't need graphical acceleration.
Might have to create a proper Chroot though, dunno if their Proot tools would have enough privileges for this use case.

Widely considered?
Surprised to hear that, whenever someone posts him on Lemmy most of the comments act like he's the best thing since sliced bread in video form

Wait? Are you telling me the 🫨 face is not justified???? Impossible!!!!

I like Simplewall.
By default, it blocks everything and shows you a popup whenever an app or service tries to make a connection, similar to LittleSnitch for MacOS if you're familiar with that.
The first few minutes can be a bit annoying as you figure out just how many background services in Windows are trying to phone home, but after that, great peace of mind knowing nothing will talk to the internet without you knowing.
Definitely overkill for most users, but if you don't mind the initial burden, highly recommend.

Seconding Simplewall, it really just works.

God, you know what I really wish I could do?
Run an Android VM on my phone. Imagine being able to do whatever you want with your device and still having a "stock" device for those pesky apps without having to actually have two phones.

It is seemingly possible, but the only app I've ever seen do it was "VMOS": a proprietary app, impossible to trust.

Just sent them a couple of bucks. Wish I could give more but the conversion rate on my currency is atrocious lol 🫠

Taking down PirateBay didn't kill the torrents it hosted
