Google is turning Android into a 'sloperating' system. Your thoughts?

To be fair, next-generation doesn't have to mean better privacy. It's just what's next lol. /sad

I've disabled it for now. Rooted phone is enormously more valuable to me than RCS that only half works right to begin with.

Users shocked to find Instagram limits political content by default
I don't use Instagram, but I also don't want any politics in my cereal, so that would be fine here.

How can I quickly "unclog" firefox when it runs out of memory (with 1000/2000 tabs)
You're not likely going to get any real help since you're insisting on using the browser in an extreme and unconventional way. Your little world is just one browser/OS crash from losing all of those tabs.

KDE neon 6 Distro Now Available with the KDE Plasma 6 Desktop Environment - 9to5Linux
Off topic, but what's with the overprotective DO NOT COPY WITHOUT PERMISSION statement on the article image? It's a screenshot of KDE, not the author's own work...

I had recently installed Grapheneos on my pixel, with a goal is determining what was responsible for all the senseless Google domains that a pixel normally contacts.
To my surprise disabling Network for the Google Services Framework and Play Services killed all of the nonsense. The only downside was that GSF has the push mechanism in it also, that many apps use for push notifications.
If only there were an alternate for push notifications that all apps would use.
Anyway, Grapheneos runs way cooler than Google's Malware version.

Loss of popular 2FA tool puts security-minded GrapheneOS in a paradox
Um, if you're security minded, you're already staying far away from Authy, so I'm not really sure what the article's focus is.
That said, I'm using 2fa all day long on Grapheneos. No issue. And prior to Grapheneos, I ran rooted and had been using Authy with no issue, so this kind of sounds like an advertisement piece for Authy.

Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser
"If someone recommends Brave to you, you should ignore them, because they are wrong."
I stopped reading here. If you would like to present objective technical arguments, please try not to sound like a 5 year old "I'm right, you're wrong, blah blah".
Use Brave or use Firefox. They both work great for privacy, but I find Brave is easier to configure to be private.

Google Chrome to soon get a new ‘IP protection’ feature: Here’s what it does
So this is Google’s version of Microsoft tracking. Microsoft does it with Windows and Edge, Google does it with proxies. Sad.

Former Chick-fil-A employee charged in $80,000 mac-and-cheese scheme
"The number of calories in the baked macaroni dish, which features three types of cheese, is almost 10,000 (40,000 kilojoules). "
What was the point of saying this???
Are they trying to impress the value of the loss and failing? Or did they need filler words so they can include more ads?
