A lot of people here are bending over backwards to justify the behavior.

They collected money for charity. Didn’t donate any of it for YEARS. Money that could have helped funding research.

I don’t know US law, but I know that’s just wrong.

For anyone who.ließ the setting, check out the Anime Spacebattleship Yamato 2199. It’s fairly recent and there’s an older one as well. This game is highly inspired by it.

the original developer somehow decided to sell out to the dark side

It’s pretty ungrateful to frame someone who developed and provided software for free for a long time as a sellout.

Yes, let’s switch from the dumpster fire that is twitter, to the competitor that didn’t launch in the EU, because it has horrible privacy practices.

The internet in 2023

Discovered beets a few weeks ago. Tagging, organizing, converting, … You can specify all of it in a config file and just add a new album and it handles everything for you

Arkenfox has some info on common extension and their use in their Wiki

Especially the “Don’t bother” section is interesting and can slim down your used extensions considerably.

This is how you get ants adblockers

plexus by techlore tries to crowd source if apps work on degoogled phones. However like others said GrapheneOS has the option to use sandboxes google services. I only had one app that didn’t work at all and it was very niche.

Not released yet, but lots of people enjoyed the Demo for Manord Lords

DASH in yewtu.be hasn’t worked since yesterday for me. No videos can be loaded.

Used Freetube and piped since then. YMMV

I switched from Proton to Tutanota for two main reasons.

1. I didn’t want to put all my eggs into one basket, just like you. With Tutanota I get email and calendar in one package. For VPN and online storage I use independent solutions (Mullvad, local solution via syncthing). Related to this, I don’t like paying for a bundle of programs when I only really want to use a subset.

2. Proton isn’t following through all the way. They keep adding services (password manager and captchas recently), but they don’t provide the same experience across all devices. I’m on linux and their drive doesn’t offer a client that syncs my folder with essential documents. I have to manual upload. That’s a dealbreaker for me.

I used it for the first time on my tablet. I went from LineageOS with unlocked bootloader to debloated Stock OS.

I found it well documented. It has filters to mark apps for removal. You can be conservative or more aggressive. It tells you the purpose of each package and even if it unexpectedly affects functions that shouldn’t be linked to them at all.

Having a way to reinstall Stock android is a good precaution though.

Sadly I can’t get voice prompts working with Organic Maps on GrapheneOS. Will stick with OsmAnd+ for now

That’s curious. I am pretty sure it was available on Android 12 for me. Maybe someone can confirm?

Does anyone have experience with non-english searches? Are the results of similar quality?

Totally agree. When I rewatch the show I often cherrypick a few episodes from the first season and go into Season 2.

In newer Android versions you don’t have to give an app blanket access. You can specify certain folders (scopes, I think). You could create a share folder for WhatsApp with pictures you actually want to share

When I was little people said dogs would sniff you to figure out who you are. I thought when a dog smells you they know your name, address, …

And maybe they do?

I think there is a difference (like you said) between you picking up 2 sticks of remaining DDR3 stock and a console manufacturer sourcing it for their new console.

Some posts mention people giving away billions in their later life. That sounds great.

However, you need to ask yourself how much of their obscene wealth was created by screwing someone else over? Essentially nobody can get so rich without taking money out of the pockets of other people. You can’t just generate money out of thin air.
