pacman -S without update is safe and will just install a version that was in the repos at the time you last dis an update. stuff gets removed from repos after like a month though…

the clock app has a built in spotify integration and player.
the calculator sends diagnostic data.

i mean unless your phone is locked to a carrier (which is pretty rare???) there’s nothing stopping you?

you can root Samsung really easily tho?
you lose some features if you decide ti go back tho

or just plug the phone into the computer?
and use either adb pull or mtp (adb is more reliable from my experience)

or you can allow public authenticated access to dns over https… (just don’t expose the raw udp dns server, it’s a really bad idea)
(not sure if DoT can also support auth, but if it does that’s great because android supports dot natively)

lol last time i played one of them forced me into selling all of my property

yes, but most games aren’t.
there’s no reason to avoid good indie games just because they’re not foss, unless you’re a toxic fossbro or something

most games are not foss, and it makes sense.
(games are more like works of art ranter than software after all, so it just doesn’t matter)

copyright will eventually expire after your death

and cc nc does not prevent derivatives, just profiting off of them without explicit permission, which is not that big of a deal

the author can still sell the work, the NC prevents other people from profiting off of it without explicit permission (this does not prevent exemptions, work can still be sold under cc-by-sa as an exemption)

or CC BY-NC-SA (the non-commercial-use-only one)

what if I’m already always aware that I’m in a dream in my dreams?
like my thoughts are almost always based on that (like, “oh no i broke my phone, but it’s ok since it’s just a dream”)

they don’t offer reasonable free tiers (I don’t have a reliable source of income and i just need it for hobby stuff) and I’m unable to sign up with either of those with my ukrainian credit card anyway (they all reject both my credit and debit cards)
well i haven’t tried signing up for azure yet but I don’t have much hope

also I don’t care about it’s cdn features, i need a dns server and a way to proxy ipv4 traffic over ipv6 (and cloudflare tunnels for ssh)

that will prevent you from using any features that use gog galaxy stuff tho. achievements, updates, friends, networking etc

there’s no alternative tho, and by definition alternatives will have the same level of access…

that’s just dns tho
but yeah, obviously your dns provider can see the dns requests (aka domain names) you’re making, that’s the whole point of dns server

this is how i feel when a website presents me with a gender prompt with only two options

it’s currently opt-in rather than opt-out, fully on-device and won’t work on devices with weak NPUs (or on any which completely lack it)
unless it changes in the future it’s not that bad at the moment tbh
