so for me to use their File Manager app on #MIUI 14, #Xiaomi asks for my consent to "share my data" with over 300 "partners" AND I have to reject and object to each one of them individually by hand!!!???

TO USE A LOCAL FILE MANAGER APP?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well, fedizens, I did it: my Redmi Note 9S now runs @e_mydata, with full control over trackers and ads combining the ROM's features with additional FOSS tools/apps.

I'm still in the process of reinstalling my apps and it took me a while to figure out how to re-obtain full multi-camera access, but thanks to the amazing community of #GCam modders dedicated to #Xiaomi "miatoll" devices in #India, I now have a camera app even better than the one that came with MIUI, with outstanding quality, features and control.

one more step in taking back my digital life as my own.
