i didn’t, but it is possible, altrough, not straightforward and requires some knowledge. I have an aosp-based custom rom, vanilla InfinityXOS (previously Superior-Extended). I have Poco X3 Pro btw. And because of how bootloader unlocking works, it is not a two-way process on xiaomi devices. Once you unlock it, there is no going back. If you try, it will hard brick and you can get a JTAG or something to reprogram the soc capacitors (doesn’t worth trying, there isn’t any single known xiaomi phone that didn’t brick upon an attempt to relock the bootloader)

normal ryzen 9 7900 costs less, delivers very similiar performance in gaming, and you can maybe use it for developnent too. x3d cards perform horribly in anything but gaming

third world means neither usa, nor east (Russia-China) sympathizer. This phrase is also commonly used to refer to countries with developing, weaker economies. Now USA is neither. Americans can deny, ease, erase, paint the history built on racism and conservativism, it will always rise up to the top. This is exactly what happened again. Shame on everyone who voted valid. No matter for who. Invalid voters and non-voters did right. Democracy has always enabled the most vile to rank up to the top. We heard about Peistratos and Hitler, who were enabled to commit heinous crimes against humanity, while being democratically elected. This is why anarchism, despite its vulrenabilities, is still the best system, that actually works very well in smaller communities.

i use a customization-oriented aosp custom rom (vanilla version, no google). It is already very private but there is more private than this, but that seriously restricts usability and visual appeal

if you have a xiaomi phone with GrapheneOS, NEVER, REALLY, NEVER!! relock the bootloader

mullvad is overrated, i agree. use riseup, calyx, strongswan

Invizible pro, Cromite, Apktool M/MT Manager (for manually reverse engineering apps), App Manager (for finding spywares in apps), Warden (for disabling them)

Use Invizible pro. much better to run it separately, global to the system

i mainly choose countries with strong dmca laws, anti-piracy, and authoritian regimes that might have some global influence and actual internet infrastructure

i use riseup, but calyx and strongswan is also good if you can’t host your own

use i2p for torrenting. torrenting slows down vpn services and tor

blacklist: Afghanistan, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, hungary, iran, israel, japan, Italy, both Koreas, Malaysia, Mexico, Myanmar, Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, Peru, Russia, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Syria, Ukraine, UAE, UK, USA, Yemen

looks good on paper. idk what’s behind it

cringe move, i’ll use riseup through openvpn

i used Tumbleweed. It is great, but you need to configure it for gaming

a lot more search results, but they are ordered in a very weird way. it lists subdomains first, then the main domain

Cromite on top
