shishk what ya momma gave ya!
The reason is probably to garner as much brand awareness as possible bc the goal of marketing isn’t to just get a point across. If a company like DDG can gain a good amount of brand awareness by advertising and selling some relatively inexpensive sunglasses with the company logo on it then I personally see it as a net positive.
Sounds like there’s something wrong with your setup. I just disabled authentication in my config file and got the expected result. I copy/pasted the snippet below so just double check that’s what yours looks like. I also don’t have to login every time (except after a container restart) when auth is enabled as long as I check off the remember me box.

disabled: true
Am I missing something here? The phone can be bought from the manufacturer for €650 and this company is trying to flip that same phone, but with a custom rom pre-installed for €950? So it’s essentially a €300 upcharge to have someone else flash the custom ROM for you. There’s also an automatic installer available for download on the ROMs website, so people wouldn’t have to mess around with ADB or anything if they wanted to do it themself. Most of what’s mentioned about graphene is also BS and the whole write up is just riddled with misinformation.
Please tell me I’m missing something bc if I’m not then no one should buy a single thing from this company.
Edit: OP has a business relationship with this company
I download most of my music with slskd which uses the soulseek network. And I try to support as many artists as I can by purchasing merch.
