Dude I loved your book, thank you so much

Beautiful

Oh dang. That’s true.

I don’t like their default launcher either, it’s indeed very iphon-y. I just installed another launcher and that’s it. It’s essentially Android so that’s no problem. I also disabled microg entirely, which is possible.

It’s gonna make for colourful toilet paper for Google, but interesting nonetheless.

Murena does ship them to the USA, but with /e/OS preinstalled, which is great if you’re into privacy and degoogling. I don’t know how it works with US carriers though. Feel free to ask them on their forum, community.e.foundation

Impeccable

Wait, is he an actual human being?!

I use this, it’s pretty good

Thank you. You’re going to heaven for this

I still think this is good news though. Should help the far-right lose momentum. But then again it’s getting harder all the time to distinguish them from the ‘moderate’ right.

Definitely. Macron is jumping gleefully at this.

I can definitely recommend Librewolf over Vivaldi if you don’t need crazy levels of customization. To me it was just much more than what I needed so I went with Librewolf which is also obviously a lot lighter. Vivaldi being based on Chromium is pretty much the only criticizable thing about the project. Henry from Techlore interviewed their CEO not long ago, look it up, it was quite interesting.

Also, I am planning on moving to Norway in the next two to three years, would you mind if I messaged you privately with a couple questions?

Thank you for that, pay no mind to those who won’t bother opening the full post to see it.

Holy fuck! I didn’t know that.

I bought a Linux phone back in 2015 (BQ Aquaris 5 running Ubuntu Touch) and even back then with the flagrant lack of apps the phone was usable

So surprised! /s

Wut

Green Mile 😭😭😭😭😭

Well it’s not about 100% privacy, because that’s pretty much impossible, it’s about MINIMIZING the amount of information they have about us, that information they can use in a variety of detrimental ways against us, to manipulate public opinion and keep us herded in and controlled, apart from money they make from selling it of course.

It’s not a collective effort towards changing the general people or anything idealistic like that, since big tech is not gonna disappear no matter how big privacy-focused stuff gets (and it’s certainly powerful enough to crush all alternative projects if they start growing too much, they’ll never let themselves get overpowered), I view it rather as an individual measure to resist them ultimately thinking for me and guiding my life or my criteria or how I see myself and others.
