I mean I would if the cable kept becoming unplugged, its more it wiggles more than I’d like

I’m writing this on a Fairphone 5 right now, the hardware is great, the only slight issue is the USB C Port is a little looser than I would like, not enough for a problem, alas.

The main issue currently is the software, there’s a few well known bugs that cause annoyances that the Fairphone forum widely know about, one of which requires you to hold the power button down and force restart the phone. I am confident that the developers and customer support are aware of these bugs and are working to fix them.

Overall I’m happy with it, £700 isn’t too bad for a phone that I’m going to try to keep for the whole 8 to 10 years that have promised security patches. Sure its doesn’t have flagship specs, but no day to day tasks for me require that power.

He did the monster mash

I went on APKMirror the other day without an adblocker on, holy shit!

Try AntennaPod, seems to have most of the podcasts I listen to, except 2 that are Spotify exclusives.

Said this in a similar post, but the legislation doesnt prevent companies serializing their components, tying them to the software. Preventing completely independent repairs.

Is there any modern day android phones that work without the battery. I feel like they’d probably run POST checks to make sure there’s a battery inside. Maybe fairphoness?

I moved from gmail. Best thing to do is use an email aliasing service like anonaddy, all my aliases forward to a Tutanota email, but if Tutanota decides to do something drastic, I’m able to change where each email address points to.

Honestly, its personal preference, there’s different forks of each, base Firefox is good, if you want a more private fork try Fennec or Mull. With chromium the only two ive heard good privacy things about is Brave and Cromite (a fork of Bromite, a project that looks like it got discontinued as there hasn’t been an update since last December). Honestly try both and see which you prefer.

Sorry, I just assumed you were asking about android specific apps. For Apple, Safari is decently private, Apples strong suit is that everyone knows Apple hate sharing things, so while you can’t be sure about how much apple collects, you know they’re not giving data to 3rd parties. For computer I’d say base Firefox, (or Librewolf if your okay with the lack of auto updating) or Brave.

The concern with Session is that theyre based in Australia, a country that is in the 5 eyes, and their government passed a bill forces companies to provide a backdoor when ordered to, the company cannot deny to create this, and they can’t declose that they got ordered to ether. [A great video talking about said bill] While the Session devs say their services are resilient to these threats, [see their FAQ] it’s best to remain cautious.

I’ve always had sloppy handwriting, but I had to handwrite a note for someone and I’ve never seen my handwriting so neat! I’ve not had to write anything with a pen or pencil for at least 2 years. But all of a sudden, its clear, neat and legible, even my cursive is pretty clear too!

I’m curious what the Services column means.

I’ve migrated from just using a gmail account to using Anonaddy which point towards a Tutanota email. The migration was PAINFUL, but glad I persisted and went through with it.

Can’t login to a google account on Libretube or Newpipe, a requirement for me

I mean if it works, only thing is you have to trust the person that’s continuing it. Hopefully its open source and code is scrutinized.

I tried Newpipe but I honestly didnt get on with it, I’m much too used to the stock UI of YouTube, I also like having an account that let’s me interact with others (commenting, liking etc). Plus Revanced has native Sponcerblock and RYD support. At the end of the day its to each of their own, but I much prefer it over the others.

Yeah that got fixed a while back, and I also dont see home screen ads

YouTube Vanced got replaced by Revanced BTW, different team and not just an app you just download, you have to patch YouTube yourself, (similar to xmanager) but that isn’t not too hard. The YouTube Revanced’s Official discord can be found here
