"who is hungry, thinks of bread"

wow i did't know about Vela Maps, looks like an awesome project. solves live traffic calculation, a common downside of CoMaps and Organic Maps through "anonymous" queries to Gmaps. So not exactly de-googled, but its good to have that frontend option.

Adnauseam Silently click-spams ads to drain their bandwidth, with the purpose of making the horrible advertising business unprofitable.

telegram doesnt encrypt by default, its a hidden feature. i wouldnt be too sure about iMessage, i believe E2EE is a bare minimum for everyone.

Getting a used one is cheaper AND you don´t give money directly to Google. Or wait a year or two for the other Graphene phones.

I strongly believe nobody is entitled to keep a registry of the sites that we visit online. Not the gov, not your ISP, not your carrier. Thats why its essential for me.

A few sites wont load sometimes, which is my only exception to turn it off, and then on again, but its a habit i have gotten used to and its not that much work, given the benefits of an always-on trustworthy VPN.

Instead, lets simplify: Search, Message, Email, Video Call... wtf is the last one

I have found that even when people are conscious of the "technocratic & surveillance" state of the world, they still dont change their habits. Just like "this sucks" but they dont bother on looking for alternatives.

Even when I tell them about E2EE services, or the fediverse, they're like "that sounds awesome", but they never try it. Once I had a friend try Pixelfed and they loved it! I was so happy hehe but it goes stale after a few days, since other friends didnt switch. But were both telling others to switch sometimes.

My family uses Life360 for safety or emergencies, and I managed to switch them over to Paralino. It was all working seamlessly until they suddenly decided they wanted to go back, for whatever reason. I don't know what it was, they wouldnt say, but it frustrates me that they would prefer giving out all out location info in rreal time to a company that has had many breaches and has sold such data, compared to a small one that can't even access such data, and its just a few bucks.

and Federico Mena, both have cool contributions to libre software.

Stremio is FOSS tho!

Signal is great, but it is centralized. Session messenger is a great example of decentralizes e2ee messaging.

yeah Audile is awesome

`+ e-ink variant o.o if possible?

also its just the image colors and weather

if you could add Ublock origin it would be awesome

Well Japan has never been colonized, but you could represent a country that excerted foreign influence, maybe? Although thay relation wouldnt be as direct as - "Straight up colonized".

Check out Shelter on Fdroid, it creates a 2nd profile for compartmentalizing apps.

Try deleting TikTok and trying Loops, the fediverse alternative.

Yeah, i commented 3 times already, but theres no trace of the comments. All of them contained the word Lemmy. 🤷

Yeah it's most likely that! Thanks
