Just learned about Canta (in combination with Shizuku), and it seems to be the greatest thing there is to remove Google and manufacturer bloatware without rooting your phone.

@GabeMoralesVR Personally, I think using #discord should disqualify one for work in #IT just like a recent conviction for #DUI disqualifies one for driving a school bus.
We have @EUCommission [rightfully!] crack down on #cars and their #emissions by demanding ever lower #FleetEmissions and #FuelConsumption numbers but still accept #Bloatware like shitty #WebApps and #Windows11 to demand so much #WastefulComputing that it's painful.
#WastefulComputing like all those phat & enshittified messengers should be illegal.
@domi @foone Sadly, #TechLiteracy is in decline and #consoomers get groomed into accepting #bloatware!

Windows 11 25H2 introduces a native feature to remove pre-installed Microsoft Store apps considered bloatware
Users can now easily customize fresh installs by choosing which default apps to keep or discard, without using PowerShell or third-party tools
This improves system cleanliness and user control over their devices
Expected public release later in 2025.

Seriously, I get that not everyone is able to do #accessible and #performant #forms and #Websites and that #JavaScript is trendy and hip.
@patpro Thats not software but #bloatware like my office smartphone which is a samsung. Slow as hell and a half-hour update every 14 days. Compared to my #fairphone with #eos from @murena which boots in seconds, autoblocks ad trackers and has also smileys!! I love it but it's not for everyone.
If you want me to tell you about downsides just ask
Mein Google #Pixel mit @GrapheneOS ist endlich da und da ist nix drauf !!!
Keine #Bloatware
, ach wie schön !!
Falls noch jemand möchte....

@hopland Let’s also appreciate the sheer size of “LogiOptionsPlus”.
1.1G - _seriously_!?!
Why do #UK #Banking apps take 300MB-500MB each on #android? All they do is render the damn website anyway

@tauon #Microsoft did!
IMHO #USEFI is an irredeemabke #Bloatware and needs to be replaced with #LinuxBoot aka. #NERF!
For any #MTCP, #DOS and #Retrocomputing nerds out there who are also running httpserv
and want pretty graphs, poke me for a recipe for a hideosly bloated #logstash configuration to ingest the UDP logs.
I feed it to #Graylog which stores the data in #Opensearch - a pipeline that combined (and this is accurate) needs, conservatively, 4096 times as much RAM as the floppy museum itself (8MB).
And while looking at this when making this screenshot: I wonder why someone would hit http//floppy.museum with a Referer
-header indicating they come from a salesforce-dot-com address? http-colon-slashslash-136.146.46.127 (about halfway down the list).
An open letter to #Samsung demanding an end to bloatware! Because clearly, nothing screams digital safety like handing out spyware apps as if they were candy in a Halloween bowl.
Surely, Samsung will read this heartfelt plea and weep... with laughter.

Mein Laptop-Hersteller hat mir ungefragt die Dropbox-Sonderaktions-App draufgeknallt. Ohne Nachfrage, ohne Scham. Erstens: Finger weg von meinem System. Zweitens: Dropbox? Ernsthaft? #Bloatware #Privatsphäre #DigitalRespekt
Anyone else noticed that Telus is force installing apps like TikTok?
Purchased brand new phone from manufacturer which does not have TikTok installed on it.
Brand new SIM card from Telus.
Add SIM to phone, create new gmail account and DE-select the apps set to automatically install during device setup.
Go to google play store, select App updates and while updating the installed apps, it downloads and installs TIKTOK, BOOKING.COM, AMAZON MUSIC, YOUTUBE, LINKEDIN
Bruh this isn't a #competition anymore, but a public execution of how #enshittified devices get just with #Windows instead of #Linux on.
