“Modern day” Luddite. It’s not just using the word isolated! Tittle clearly mixes the meaning with the historical reference. Plus, the one being pedantic were you… But thanks anyway for pointing out the word has two definitions.

I will echo top comment on hn, the discussion should be focused on being able to participate in civil life without a google or apple account. Specially, outside US.

Borderline to original 4chan shitpost sentiment. I dont like it.

Fwiw, I still think it’s sarcastic.

Technically 85% correct now, after brexit ;p

And your mommy is sexier than my lover ;p

Fwiw there’s fairphone with eOS

URL Cleaner on f-droid.org is a great app too!

Depends on the distro… Bazzite.gg is ready for gamers and general users. I have MX Linux, version “ahs” had the drivers for my GPU, and hibernation works.

Malegao

it could also be because I mentioned oracle :P

So much words in this thread… Head over bazzite.gg and get f*ing started! You will love it!!

You do you, of course. But, I think that combining the approach of immutable distros to either case would be a great way to add some security. Even if nothing is ever 100% safe, this would be very robust. Or, even without an immutable distro you can do Qubes or just any sandboxing (e.g. bubblewrap) to open documents and files.

In any case, being paranoid certainly is an elegant sport. Perhaps even more than golfing (:

In my case it doesnt appear in the App drawer but when I opened assistant it offered me switching to Gemini, which I did. Then within it, went to Apps to disable integrations like WhatsApp which by default was ON. Same with SMS and others.

Or if you prefer GUI on device apps, Shizuku and then use Cantata

Try Pangolin instead of cloudfare, though it requires a VPS (e.g. oracle free tier, or pay €1/month to ionos)

And this is when I banned OP…

I hear thee.

Just an update, I learnt that GrapheneOS developers are ‘aggressive’ towards other FLOSS projects (following comments on other thread, but you can searx grepheneos+controversy and see for yourselves).

So now, I might just prefer an FP6.

Those float in the sea, we don’t want that iiuc. Is a different plastic too, way more valuable from a recycling perspective (in Argentina hospitals used to collect caps to melt and make toys for childrens)
