John,

But in the end of the day, there is no intended way to turn off Telemetry fully.

John,

Missed oppotunity to put solaire on the dinosaur.

Safest way of using WeChat on Android?

I live in Canada. My girlfriend is Chinese (also living in Canada), and while we are able to communicate via SMS, her mobile carrier isn’t the best, and so there have often been issues for us with regular texting. She expressed a strong preference to use WeChat, at least as a backup option for when texting fails us. While I...

John,

I stopped using every messenger besides signal and Matrix. Even my not tech savy parents are using signal now - its in my opinion the better solution to stand your ground and may push others into using the better apps

John,

Holland is only the western part of the netherlands.

John,

-itz and -ow are mostly exclusive to the east cuz its used mostly by Slavic Settlements. Just if someone else wondered

John,

You could use nix on mint btw.

John,

OnePlus 6 and 6T had really broad custom Rom support, it is till now one of the best Phones for linux(pmOS) With some Roms you can even relock the bootloader

John,

Did you tried DivestOS? Its my favorite Rom for the op6

John,

I was really close leaving the cinema twice in my life. First time was the movie “2012”. Second time the First “Hobbit” Movie

John,

I think the increase of so called “ewaste” after windows 10 eol next year will be huge.

Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone (lemmy.world)

I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they’re on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can’t be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?...

John,

My banking App works fine on GrapheneOS. At all i didnt really had any app so far which isnt working on GOS with sandboxed Google Services

John,

OpenSUSE back in the early 2000s. Since my parents got a new PC and the old one from '99 wasnt able to run Windows XP properly

John,

I’m 31 and stopped drinking at all 4 years ago.

John,

If you want to keep it simple, just go with Gentoo

John,

I dont use root anymore. My daily driver is a Pixel 6 with GrapheneOS which works out of the box really well for me.

John,

May Nintendo should build consoles which are capable of running there games in playable fps.

John,

As soon as there is a full feature native signal App i would switch to Linux phone. axolotl or Android emulation didnt work for me :/

John,

I thought its not a standalone signal App is it?

John,

I allways symlink(ln -s) some folders from my HDD(Pictures, Movies, Documents, Music) since i dont want to have all my home folder on my slow HDD. May this is an Option for you.

Alright boys, I've been converted to the light side and have installed F-Droid. Now what?

Basically title. I waited on installing F droid for a long time because my phone threw many scary warnings when I tried a long time ago. But now I have it, and I got some fossify apps, but since there is no “Editor’s Picks” on F- droid I dont really know where to go from here....

John,

My first step is always to add the Molly and Bitwarden repos.

John,

Some Fdroid Version may have less trackers or replace Google Services(Signal-FOSS/Molly or Telegram for example use a own push service)

John,

Few years ago(maybe 10) it was still recommended or even necessary to use IE for a lot of goverment Internet Services here in Germany. The online Zoll handling for example. I think a lot of goverments are not really into accesibility optimization.

John,

I will allways go for used Thinkpads. Best value

John,

Small Flagship Android Phones. Im just not a big fan of phones which doesnt fit into pockets :(

John,

Best time to move to Molly/Signal-FOSS and Telegram-FOSS
