what foss phone OS do you use and why?
  • The official releases have standards, moron. That's why an unofficial will go official when it meets the specific criteria. Unofficial releases have no standards. Official releases have been tested and known to fully work and meet minimum criteria... hmm... what an interesting concept! It's almost like they make it very easy to know if it fully supports your device by going to their website where they list OFFICIAL releases. Lmao....

  • Just found my new keyboard!
  • Heliboard. I didn't think anything would take me away from Swiftkey. I tried all the keyboards on f-droid multiple times over the years. But I've finally switched. Check out Heliboard.

  • what foss phone OS do you use and why?
  • I have a Pixel and LineageOS is the best by far. Freedom to root, which I absolutely want... I want full control over my devices. I'm extremely picky about how every little thing runs and works in my phone and I can only get it with root. You can't get root with GraphenOS without a huge pain in the ass with updates.

    It's hilarious people install GrapheneOS and think they are better off because Google services are installed as user apps instead of system. You lose as soon as you install them either way. They are getting the data they are after no matter if it's installed as a user app or system app.

    But anyway, I've been running LineagOS since it used to be Cynogenmod over 10 years ago. It's the most established and reliable while remaining open to customization by far.

  • What’s the best ad blocker for you? - Firefox Add-ons Blog
  • I like Adguardhome better.

    Adaway on rooted Android is pretty amazing and blocks a lot of ads in apps.

    SmartTubeNext for ad free YouTube on TV. And S0undTV for ad free twitch on TV.

    Revanced Manager for ad free YouTube and more on Android phones.

  • RustDesk (FOSS easy to use TeamViewer alternative) has experimental Wayland support that needs testing!
  • Nope, you don't get it.

    They have clients for basically every platform. That means you can control your Windows desktop from your Android phone, or use your Linux Desktop to control your iPhone... the platform does not matter. It works on any device in any direction.

    Also, you don't have to expose it to WAN. You can run it locally and use Wireguard the same way to access your LAN... so why even mention something like Tailscale?

  • Amazon execs may be personally liable for tricking users into Prime sign-ups
  • Have had prime for the last 8 years but it's too much now. And the constant nagging to get me back on it is annoying enough that I don't even want to shop there any longer. Not that it's much better of a company but I've switched to ordering shit on Walmart, their online store has mostly the same exact shit that Amazon has on it. If you live close enough to one then you get same day delivery on certain things too with thier Walmart Plus which is their version of prime.

  • Difficult decisions
  • This Old Tony is awesome.

    NNKH also is good too, a bit different but if you like watching a mechanically knowledgeable dude just fixing on shit, it's good stuff. Seems like a genuinely decent guy too.

  • Difficult decisions
  • I unsubscribed after their video on Android TV boxes having malware because it was full of holes. But that was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Their Linux coverage was atrocious. There were so much flat out wrong with their Linux challenge and much other Linux content. Their stuff on servers and selfhosting was ALWAYS fucking amateur hour. They ran a line between buildings and tested throughput with Windows file manager for fuck's sake... god forbid they use a real tool like iperf or something.

    I unsubbed a few weeks before the gn video dropped and that was just reaffirmation... and then some. Because I had thought they were at least getting the gamer bro stuff and benchmarks right but apparently they weren't even doing that correctly. And that's on top of all the other shit like the anti-union and sexual harassment. That entire channel is a joke, it's a shame he has so many subs and misleads so many people with misinformation.

  • rule
  • It's their insecurities dripping through because they deem themselves power users and learn that they don't actually know shit so they usually very ignorantly and incorrectly put it down. It's a hard pill to swallow when they realize they are just LTT gamer bro Windows users that struggle to use something my grandma runs.
