This creates a single backdoor for all sign-ons on your phone.

When I saw this on a custom ROM, it was basically the same thing, but said that my financial institution or whoever had admin access to my phone, including seeing texts and everything else, until my phone was paid off. Still not sure why that was there in a custom ROM, but I ended up not using it.

Glad it’s working! Thanks for the follow-up, for anyone who runs into the same issue in the future.

This won’t help you recover during a freeze or crash, but it may help find the cause…maybe.

Try running Steam from a terminal, and see if the game gives any output when crashing. I’d put the game in window mode so I can see the terminal and the game at the same time, in-case you lose control over the system. See if the terminal shows any errors.

Usually, when my computer starts to freeze up, it’s because the disk IO is saturated. I moved my Steam library to a different drive than my OS, and that hasn’t happened since. The interface really shouldn’t freeze just because the drive is busy, but that’s what I did to fix it. Don’t know if it’s a GNOME 3 problem, a Fedora problem, or something else.

God, I only use Ublock Origin on Firefox. No TOR, VPNs, or anything like that.

Despite that, there are a handful of Google-related websites like Virustotal that now permanently trap me in repeating captchas. Youtube will occasionally decide to block my IP entirely for a week.

Let me tell you, this shit doesn’t make me more inclined to disable ad blocking. Instead, I’ve starting finding alternatives and using a sandboxed vanilla Chromium for problem pages.

I wish I could go back in time and slap whoever invented the phrase “nothing to hide.”

I’ve never heard of this company before the past week, and I’m seeing it everywhere now. I’m also really annoyed with this trend of companies appropriating random fucking words instead of using actual names.

As cool as the technology is, I wouldn’t trust Starlink to handle my breakfast order. It’s leadership is corrupt, arrogant, and evil. You can find all sorts of news stories about it online.

Rethink for Android is an app firewall, DNS solution, and ad/malware/spam/etc blocker.

Might be worth giving a try.
