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 ๐Ÿ˜„

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.

There might be some people thinking along those lines, but I'd be careful to tread into the territory of conspiracy theories. To me this seems a lot more like a case of "The bad implications are pretty obvious when you think about it - but we can't let that stand in the way of making a profit!".
