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.

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...
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... 🙄
