Read it, do not reply

You can, without root even! Take a look at uad-ng (universal android debloater). Comes with a community-curated list which sorts APKs into 5 tiers from "recommended to uninstall" to "yeah don't, your phone needs this to boot". Apps disabled through this do not come back after updates.

Removed 140+ apps from my Xiaomi, 120+ from my GFs Samsung S24, and 90+ from my brothers Motorola Edge something.

Called their support. They were super nice, and then told me that if I still had access to my 2fa, I could simply add a second mail in my account without needing access to the first one.

Made total sense when stopping to think about it for a second 😄

Not sure. You mean something like r/NuclearRevenge and Co?

Oh, yeah. Wasn't actually worried of the mails themselves (multiple devices which have all of them, plus a daily borgbackup offsite), it was just knowing that I NEED to fix this, now, because email is unfortunately kinda important.

Fun conundrum: had my personal mail as the only contact at my server provider. Requested a KVM for rescue. "Thank you for your request! We'll email you the link to your KVM access!" Gahhh.

Same. But also, I'll never forget the adrenaline when I actually legitimately fucked up once. Was a sweaty 2 hours of recovery.

Yeah no thanks. Linting, formatting, LSP integration, Treesitter,... are just kind of essential for programming work. And the advantage of nvim/emacs/... is that you can bend them to your will and preferences.

If you just want to edit some config files, sure, use literally anything. But I need something proper for work, and if I already set all of that up, might as well use it for the config files, too.

We really, really do. I miss r/PettyRevenge and cousins, plus r/TalesFromTechSupport.

I'm a bit unhappy with my current job, because I only get 25 days of paid holidays (of course not including public holidays). That's 5 days below industry average, so my next job I'll look gor 35+ days.

Nice, I was able to send an email to that.

Mate I'd live in Banks' Culture without a heartbeat's thought if I could.

The problem isn't AI as a concept, it's the underlying societal disregard for ethics in the face of profits.
