Been looking at the Fairphone 6 and damn, support until 2033? That's actually insane.

The whole replaceable parts thing is pretty sick too. Battery goes bad? Just swap it instead of dropping $800 on a new phone or getting the battery replaced for $100

Probably gonna throw /e/OS on it too because why not.

What's everyone else using? Anyone actually have experience with Fairphone or am I just getting hyped over nothing?

anyone know good youtube apps with casting functionality for iOS that don't have ads?

I know GrayJay is nice on Android for that. just want to cast Youtube to my TV without getting hit with ads every 5 seconds 😅

what do you use?

I just made the switch to Lemmy and I'm curious what everyone's using to browse it. Looking for recommendations for both mobile and desktop.

Mobile: Been testing a few apps.

• Voyager's been solid so far - clean interface and works well. Only downside is no push notifications.
• Also tried Boost but it has some display issues - embedded icons don't show up right and GIFs in comments are way too small.

Desktop: Still figuring out what to use here. What do you all prefer?

Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks.

Making the jump from Samsung to iPhone soon, mainly for privacy reasons. Want to cut Google out as much as possible while I'm at it.

What I'm planning so far:

• Mailbox.org instead of Gmail
• DuckDuckGo for search, would prefer something even better
• Safari with all the privacy stuff turned on

Where I'm stuck:

• What about YouTube? Just use the web version?

• Google Drive alternatives that actually work well?

• Best way to store photos that aren't big greedy corps?

Questions:

• Any must-have privacy apps once I get the iPhone?

• Settings I should change immediately out of the box?

• Services I'm forgetting that are probably feeding Google my data?

Note: I prefer Apple over Google and I’m not ready to go full privacy-hardened, I want to find a balance between convenience and privacy protection.
