The EU forces Apple to allow 3rd party app stores and browsers. Apple comes with a schema that costs more money to maintain 3rd party app stores than the older official app store version. I think Tim Cook is an absolute madman for Malicious compliance. 😂
If #Apple continues on this path I’m going to have to switch back to Android. The idea that they deserve a fee from developers for people simply running programs on their operating system is unhinged. The App Store fee is justified because it’s a distribution channel. But whatever this is, is nonsense.
Kudos to Android app "SMS Import / Export" for helping me migrate to a new phone without sharing my data with any clouds. All call logs and SMS exported and imported no problem!

I have an #iPhone and I have a #Pixel, the iPhone is the main, but I toy with going full time #Android. Please share the reasons you use the platform you use and please boost.
In today's blog post I continue the theme of degoogling one's life. I talk about my experiences with @invidious, an alternative open-source frontend to Youtube that can be self hosted.
Do you want to watch YT videos without actually going to Youtube site? Take a look!
Dear @ProtonDrive , I just received this invite, great!
But now you are requesting for my GoogleID?? I have a #degoogled Android phone. The whole reason to move to #proton was to move away from Google.. So, how can I test and make use of this feature please?
#gigaset, the company behind my smartphone (GX6) has apparently gone bankrupt. 😏 I wonder if I'll be able to install updated versions of some #degoogled#android#rom or even #linux on it, even though it's a very niche device. I am still running Android 12 and have been eagerly awaiting the long-announced update to 13. And now I'm afraid there will be no more updates at all.
My #DeGoogled#Pixel 7, which has such heroic battery life, went from 61% battery to 45% battery overnight, even though it was on battery saver mode.
Usually pixels will only drop a handful of percentage points overnight while on battery saver.
My phone regularly gives me two days of battery life, unlike my old Pixel 4a 5G, which was usually down to 20% by the end of the day.
#PSA: Don't let your phone's battery get below 20% if you want to daily-drive it for a long time.
