200% isn't fractional scaling, as far as I understand it. Are you using Xorg by any chance? This would explain the issue.

It hasn't, but it was used by the community to kickstart the rebuilding process. I'd wager at this point there's less than 1% of the original catalog missing. Plus, all the music that was released meanwhile. RED already surpassed the number of releases that were on WCD many years ago.

Yeah, I eventually gave up on self hosting Nextcloud because of incompatibilities with PHP(-FPM), iirc. They were always lagging behind and it became a hassle to mantain. I ended up replacing all the parts I used with other single purpose software, and it's been a better experience overall.

The system is bursting because AIMA is severely understaffed and there's a shit ton of people waiting in line. An agent is not going to solve this, it will just make you earn some money while helping people who are able to pay to jump the line.

You are framing the problem in whatever way it helps you sleep at night. "Fairness", lol.

What a great way to make a system that's bursting at the seams, even worse.

Why don't addicts chose to stop with their addictive behaviour?

And this isn't an excuse btw, but if you want to understand why, this is a good place to start.

FTA: "One caveat: this analysis estimates advertiser demand for access to a given profile. It does not reflect the exact revenue Google receives from any individual user. What the model reveals is the ceiling, the maximum price the market places on your attention."

From this I believe that your problem can be solved. In accounting terms, the 1605USD isn't a flow (e.g., revenue) but rather a stock (e.g., receivable). They've estimated value about how much a profile is worth, which you shouldn't use to draw those conclusions about revenue.

This is something I've been trying to help people and companies with excipio (shameless plug). Data and digital sovereignty are fundamental nowadays.

> Set up a private space which will be used for google play services required apps (bank stuff, etc).

If all the apps (including GP+GPS) are sandboxed anyway, what's the point of doing this?

> This is going to hurt legitimate sideloading way more than actually necessary to reduce scams

Isn't that the objective? "Reducing scams" is the same kind of argument as "what about the children"; it's supposed to make you stop thinking about what it means, because the intentions are so good.
