Plenty of reasons.
- System wide adblock
- Advanced permission management
- Backups and exports of system apps
- Full uninstall of bloatware (instead of mere hiding them with adb)
- Enabling screenshots system-wide
And a bunch of other stuff I need in order to have a fully functioning device.
IMHO whenever you actively need something and the owner either doesn't make it available or the price is prohibitively expensive, it's justified. That especially includes papers, books and other tuition material that's been paywalled or made expensive as hell without any actual reason, even more so if the author gets next to no compensation.
Downloading series and movies that aren't being streamed anymore, by all means.
When it comes to current movies, it depends on what's available. Unfortunately most streaming platforms don't have Chinese subtitles, and my wife often struggles to fully follow the original audio and the English subs often disappear too quickly.
For software, my personal stance is that if you use something every once in a while, pirate away. If you use it regularly and/or generate income from it, then pay your dues.
The app is asking for a million permissions that are completely unnecessary. They are just as much of a data kraken as facbeook, google and apple, with the exception of people being fully transparent about professional achievements and qualifications. That's a definite reason to never give them access to my phone.
$20 is what it takes to remove ads. Ultra is another subscription with different benefits altogether.
14 years primary account, 11 years alt. Mod in several >1 million communities.
Deleted everything, replaced my comments (>15k total) and posts (>500, including announcements on subs moderated) with a message stating my reasons, and then deleted both accounts. Plus 4 alts I sparsely used, between 3-8 years old.
Sync is back. !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world, currently in closed alpha, public beta only days away.
It doesn't remove them, it uninstalls the app from the current user profile, but they persist on system level. That's what I meant with the comment in brackets.
It's the best you can do if rooting is not an option, but I prefer a full removal.
Which launcher is that? I love Nova, comes with all the gestures I need.
It would just sit there and be dormant.
That's pro. Ultra is something else entirely.

Adfree is the regular pro version, which is way cheaper. Make sure you double check before you recommend pirating software.
A mix of avira and malwarebytes locally, and virustotal if I'm especially sceptical.
Key Messages rocks. Comes with built-in badword filter and some other nifty config.
Not open source though.
Those poor trees.
