Actually, the site is set in Equity, but there is an option at the bottom to set it to Valkyrie :)

I am just a normal user and wasn't aware that developers didn't review security properly ...
Flex247A··on LineageOS 18.1
Hey, I deleted all the partitions of the device before flashing. Did you try flashing again? Because I did not face any such problems. Sound is a bit quieter, but that's pretty much it.

Flex247A··on LineageOS 18.1
Sure!

Actually MIUI has Android 4.4.2 KitKat.

I repartitioned the ROM partition by following this guide:

And downloaded the ROM files form here:

China ROM is really bad as it can lead to black screen with the tablet becoming unresponsive.

Flex247A··on LineageOS 18.1
I am using an unofficial build of LineageOS 14.1 on my 6 year old tablet (Mi PAD 1 'mocha'). After using it for over a month, the ROM is amazingly stable.

The earlier MiUi which the tablet shipped with (7.5.2 Android KitKat) had problems with memory management. For some reason, the 2GB RAM was partitioned into two parts, one for the OS and the other for the running apps. But LineageOS does not have this problem, and it is much quicker than when I bought it!

I use FDroid to install apps and am very satisfied with it. NewPipe is excellent and videos can easily play at 1080p 60fps when earlier, the tablet used to lag on 480p videos.

I have changed the governor to powersave and turned on doze mode. Amazingly, this 6 year old tablet can hold charge for over a week! Even when watching videos at 1080p, the device does not heat up.

More power to the LineageOS team and XDADevelopers!

EDIT: ROM version

Hi! Are there any monospace fonts which go well with this? I found JetBrains Mono to be a good choice: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/
Flex247A··on Raylib, a simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogame programming
This so much! This is the main reason why I left using raylib. Whenever you ask about the documentation, the function cheatsheet was mentioned. Eventually I got tired of figuring it out, which sometimes took a lot of time.
Flex247A··on Reflections on IDEA vs VS Code
Java's not slow, but IntelliJ consumes a lot of RAM. On computers with less than 8GB RAM, the constant swapping causes bad performance.

Sorry for the late reply, but I am looking to understand how applications like Blender / Godot / Unity work at a lower level, specifically how they render 3D objects.
