In case you didn’t realize, this whole post and thread are just a joke. Try not to take yourself too serious.
But if you must know, I’m currently on Pixel 8, and most of what I posted describe actual well known problems with Android. You would know that if you used Android.
Android users won’t be able to reply.
Third party launchers randomly freeze for no reason.
Lemmy app crashed due to unknown reasons, but suspected due to battery manager failure.
Notification of your post never showed up anyway due to Android hosing notifications with Doze, which everyone thought Doze was done for, but really it was just buried deeper into the OS.
And then Google decided to A-B test all Lemmy users, so that the Lemmy app opens random songs in YouTube Music instead.
I wish there was a way to keep Grapheneos installed and locked down without root, but with a way to adjust screen color. The only way I can tolerate pixel screen color reproduction is to root it and use an app to adjust it.
Yeah Heliboard with the swipelib is closest to gboard for me, better than Futo, however, Futo has a voice typing app also that is incredibly accurate, and punctuates near perfectly. So I use Heliboard with Futo Voice Typing.
It’s probably Google sharing that information with Amazon. Amazon isn’t actively spying on Google searches. I could be wrong though, but that is what Google “Ad Privacy” spyware is really about. To let Google share your interests with other companies.
I’m not really the one to ask as I don’t buy a smart phone for a camera. However, it looks good to me and I have a picky eye. And from what I’ve seen, you can use Google Camera on Grapheneos and get the same quality pictures and video.
Are you using Grapheneos or another ROM?
They made it where you could sandbox all of the Google stuff, and Android Auto works fine too.
That looks nice, but apps that use GSF for push won’t use that. Or am I missing something on their website?
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.
FYI this does not include spreadsheets, so if you’re hoping to replace an office suite, it’s not there yet.
I answered this in your other post, but linking the answer here as well:
I stopped reading after Brave, as you chose to derail your product reviews to meddle in someone’s personal beliefs. Those two things have no correlation.
Yay buggy distro…
No thanks
Actually that method in the picture no longer works, but there is a better, though still convoluted, method.
Of course, have fun adding repos and installing better versions of browsers in Linux.
Edit: When I said “better versions”, I was primarily referring to Debian, which installs FF ESR. You have to add repos and install the better FF standard.
What matters to me is what tools the browser lets me use to complement it and harden it to my liking.
Chromium does not offer that. But if I’m going to use Chromium, it would be Brave browser, since it provides tools comparable to what I use in Firefox.
To me, how is a browser going to be attacked if the scripts the attacker would use are already blocked by my toolset? (Rhetorical)
