Also on android phone, FF allows addons like uBlock, noscript & greasemonkey. GM scripting is pain w/o external editor, but it's worth it...

You have plan9 for OS...

And check suckless.org, especially dwm

1. Package managers need not be complicated. I think a simple sandboxing app mgmt is possible.

2. about web: too bad that design-addict webdev community bloated it. But wish someone make a simpler, faster & straightforward web as portable app platform with few nice commercial qualities...

3. About OS: OS need not be bloated if it isn't running behind popularity by satisfying everyone's remote needs. ( source: plan9, suckless, busybox )...

With android we can at least replace few parts, and get a functional unix terminal even without root. If you can degoogle and / or root, android is great.

And BillG didn't deserve it...

Well, I am trying to evaluate rust the language, because if the language is good, as a student, time investment can be worth it...

It can be a "defensive" move from NSA though, they have other ways to "attack"...

Think I can list a few reasons.

[] Movie piracy: continuing through telegram groups

[] WhatsApp - people share videos on whatsapp a lot these days..

[] YouTube - Here I don't think ppl are much into paying for Netflix / Amazon, but YouTube is used a lot.

[] Others: services like hotstar, voot ( movie / TV live streaming ), audio streaming services. Most of these are ad supported. And of course, seems quite a lot at adult content..

This is what I observed in surroundings. Indian people don't care much about ads and that also has been a monetization strategy for jio. I personally don't use any of their apps but many do. Also their cheap feature phones embed advertising.

Hello,. also from a remote village but for most people jio has been economical.

I remember browsing at ~10 KiB/s on BSNL 2G network at 20MB/day for INR 4, now at nearly same cost, I can get much better internet, though not even near to foreign speeds.

Nope, many trackers are blocked too and that is problematic for regional content

but there are things like free online leechers, telegram groups that freely share pirated content..

It is not many people. AFAIK most people get pirated movies from telegram groups.

It is not possible to get old movies this way tho...

India is a relatively cheap country to live in. You earn less & you spend less.

And service isn't that stellar. They say 4G but 400 KiB/s is average IMO. I am from rural india & used net before that on lowend J2ME phones, which was around 10 KiB/s.

Having said that, jio has done a great job, where otherwise 1GiB of 2G data cost >$5.
