Same here, no issues

This is a feature that Session had right?

another link to help you find some more privacy-focused alternatives. i think a great gmail, google calendar, and drive replacement is proton.me . I switched to them from google and haven’t looked back

wow, the balls of the folk who came up with this 🤡

there was definitely a time where i got some results from google in a very ad-like manner, super fucking annoying: “you may like this…” and spamming different search terms, locations etc.

i haven’t seen it since, i figured they were A/B testing the design

definitely not, i used this a ton too. it’s obvious reddit is just getting greedy

Probably not the most perfect solution but if you have an Android you can download Instander:

Is Nvidia’s Shield TV any more private/secure than the FireTV? not a dig at OP, just curious because I haven’t heard much about it.

For me I’m syncing to my Nextcloud instance that’s running on my raspberry pi

so is using something like an Apple TV or Roku box actually more secure than just using the apps directly on the TV?

oh…is that why all these nice smart TVs are so affordable these days?! damn!!

I recently got a pop up like this, trying to push the Bing search bar widget onto my desktop. like GTFO!!!

Pixelfed for Instagram to a certain extent. You can also use Instander for an alternative viewer for regular Instagram.

Revolt Chat looks like another alternative for Discord, but haven’t used it myself

probably cuz /e/ OS is run by Murena, which is still a company trying to make a profit. graphene OS is all community-driven right?

This is basically what I do too. Other times for sites I barely use I concede to my laziness and use “Sign in with your Google account” when I don’t really want to hand out my Proton email

You can disable a good amount of the apps, does that prevent it from sending data?

Google Play Services is probably the only one that you’ll still have to leave on unfortunately. Full privacy isn’t going to be obtainable this route

Definitely avoid using Google products as much as possible. Use Aurora and F-Droid to install apps.

F-Droid at least will have basic open source apps that replace things like your SMS messenger and phone launcher as examples

From what I’ve seen as long as you’re not using a CDMA network like Verizon it reasonably works. There might be some minor issues when it comes to network performance on 5G/LTE but lots of folks claim that it’s been working just fine for them.

No downside really, guess I’m just more curious what the stock OS is like for the Fairphone

Dammit, what’s it gonna take for the Fairphone to be brought to the US? The only options are buying it from the Murena shop with their /e/ OS installed or to get the European model from somewhere like eBay or Newegg.
