Gboard and blocked network
While I am agreeing somewhat, and I haven't been active in the community much. The few encounters I had was in the matrix chat . Yea toxic af . Checked in too see now , scrolled a bit but quite civil atm.
I repair pixel phones as an hobby / side gig and yea not comparable withe fairphone, but still repairable , better than a lot of others but depends on models.
I buy second hand in bulk and repair whats needed. Bonus of no trail to Google as well.
I use calyx on a spare phone, graphene on my regular. Graphene is better security wise, and better privacy wise.
If your device can run graphene is go for it.
Graphene for example are using a sandbox Google play that's not have any special privileges. Which you can choose to use or not. Or use in a separate profile. Calyx comes with microg from the start. Which still uses proprietary stuff. Just the hardened malloc and other stuff under the hood on graphene makes it a better option
Photographer standing at a lever , 3 persons tied to the tracks. Do you switch the lever or take a pic of the psycho train?
Not sure but aren't there magisk modules for that? Might be a way
I am all for ways to increase revenue for devs, I have donated. However ads are anti privacy by default. A way for people that don't want to donate but still want to support? How about a list of referral links people can use? Good middle ground.
I just sent a request to get all info they had on me and my car. Will be interesting
Here is the thing. It's only liberals that threats this as a football game were you have to cheer on one of the teams. If you actually know the history and some form of idea about the geopolitical stage, you can be on the side that actually wants peace. Not "until the last Ukrainian is dead" that the west wants.
Best option, use graphene and keep the propriety stuff on a separate user profile.
There is also a WhatsApp to go on F-droid . So you need an account then you can use the webapp on the phone.
But yea stuff like that sucks.
KISS , I have used if for ages , so much more effective. Always Use FOSS , especially for the launcher that always have a lot of permissions.
I use it without giving network permission
Cuy , a large hamster rodent. Better than rabbit. In Bolivia.
I don't remember the name but fried ants and spiders in laos .
