I am FOSS-friendly? How can I do better?

I prefer droid-ify to f-droid. It uses the f-droid repos, so you get the same apps, but it removes the annoying UI f-droid has.

Out of curiousity, is there a reason you picked K-9 over Thunderbird?

Aren't they the same thing these days (genuine question)?

Thunderbird is a K-9 reskin. They're the same app. People pick based on what icon and app name they want I guess.

Oh my bad; I thought it wasn't developed anymore! Makes sense!

Remove tiktok and you'll be free from spying on you by US-Chinese Corps

You are FOSS friendly ! Great list 😄

You might try loops instead of TikTok.

You can use non-free softwares and still be a FOSS advocate. You just can't impose non-free software on others, including "soft" impositions like only publishing your content in proprietary formats or only accepting messages via proprietary protocols.

Thank you very much.

Do you use a separate icon pack or is the one in the screenshot part of your Android skin ?

[-] degooglerleon@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

I use SmartLauncher; it has an option to change all the app icons so they match the wallpaper.

remove play store and other bloats with universal android debloater

[-] degooglerleon@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

I removed all the bloatware I found, but I can't uninstall the Play Store or my banking app will stop working.
