You used to be able to do this on android, and then they changed it that you can only sort of do it, unless you have root. Root is an insurance (to a degree) against apple changing their mind, like google did.

by lawl 4y ago
Not the person you asked, but no. Because that would mean you have to trust iOS to not track you. I can be convinced that Apple is less bad than Google in that regard, but if Apple has nothing to hide, then they can let me have root, so I c

It's pick your poison. The only reason I'm still on android is because at least I can (still) have root there. I'm saying still because of safety net. But if apple let me have root, i'd probably prefer an Apple over Goog

If your plan is to scrape all of twitter, the question is if that matters among the years of existing spam. Probably not. If it does start to matter it should start becoming an issue for twitter too and they'd probably have to deal w

Yes, we know, this is always your reply. We also know that boehm-gc is just temporary until you fixed the issues with autofree. Do let me know when that happens.

Z isn't banned here and I don't see any big calls to do so. Answer remains the same. Discussion was about freedom of speech and thus the RT ban is also relevant.
