Always check if your future phone has an updated Lineage OS ROM.

「 Nothing has announced that it will allow users to delete Facebook, Instagram and other Meta services from its mid-range and entry-level phones after users objected to the company's decision to pre-install these apps. The update will arrive by the end of November for devices running the Android 16-based OS 4.0 on the Phone (3a) series 」

@bortzmeyer oui, mais pas avec cette approche de refactorer les endroits où le code est très suboptimal. Comme quand on résoud mal un problème on peut se retrouver à gaspiller 10, 100 ou 1000 fois trop de ressources, trouver où ça cloche et réécrire de façon correcte, ça peut économiser beaucoup de ressource informatique (mémoire, CPU, temps d'I/O, réseau, etc.) et éviter de renouveler le matériel, dont la fabrication est l'essentiel de l'empreinte.

C'est pas le code le plus ancien qui pose le plus de problèmes... il était optimisé pour fonctionner correctement avec des ressources bien moindres qu'aujourd'hui ;)

Le sujet #bloatware ne me semble en effet pas assez étudié. On a favorisé l'écriture rapide de code, toujours plus de code, donc la quantité au détriment de la qualité.

Perte aussi de connaissance du fonctionnement des machines (et couches basses OS) à cause de couches d'abstraction qui s'empilent...

#Rooting a new #Xiaomi device is getting totally ridiculous these days.

I already jumped through the hoop to "request bootloader unlock permission" in one of Xiaomi's #bloatware apps at **EXACTLY** midnight beijing time, at least this worked. Now the second step would be to actually unlock the boot loader. On #FreeBSD, I can't use Xiaomi's unlocker tool (but I guess that's actually a good thing), so I found some python script that also works (after a bit of fiddling with it, patching shebang and removing some nonsense), and see what it tells me now.

Xiaomi, you used to be cool, a long time ago... 🙄

Please unlock 71 hours later. And do not add your account in MIUI again, otherwise you will wait from scratch

You can unlock (repeat this process) on: 2025-05-17 18:00
