Damn. That’s such a shame, I was considering the fairphone with /e/ os but it’s looking less and less appealing. I guess flashing it with CalyxOS and removing/replacing microg might be the better option. Either that or bite the bullet and get a pixel n’ flash GrapheneOS to it.

I deeply aplreciate your expansion on the matter :)

very very bad

Care to elaborate?

They’re the best site around for high quality/capacity drives that don’t cost an arm and a leg. Another great resource for tools n’ stuff is awesomeselfhosted

Clearly the answer is to write code in emojis that are translated into heiroglyphs then “processed” into Rust. And add a bunch of beloved AI keywords here and there. That way when it learns to block it they’ll inadvertantly block their favorite buzzwords

Honestly same! I was ready to delete my Pixelfeed account after having read all thatlbut I have high hopes that a turnaround comes. Here’s to hoping 🤞

It would seem I forgot to add the /s

In any case, I’m simply disappointed in his choices for not open sourcing software that would undoubtedly march on in terms of progress at light speed if fully FOSS.

I hope he learns to hone his ego, it’s within and without. I just hope he comes to his senses and begins to work with devs who are desperate to get a peak at the closed source portions of his sofware. - By open sourcing any blackboxed software.

Heads up @dansup@lemmy.world the creator of these apps refuses to open source the projects stating (Loops):

Not until it’s stable

Anyone who’s followed any project of any kind knows that this is just a formal way of saying they just won’t do it.

Not only is it not truly OSS, but he’s a bit of dick. Like weirdly so. Banning people for reverse engineering the API, creating a poll on whether or not ads should be introduced (only to 180 on the matter claiming the poll was a joke but also emphasizing that the poll was in favor of ads)

On the plus side he dislikes Trump, so there’s that I guess.

In any case I highly recommend people read this comment and the sources linked:

After reading through this, it wouldn’t surprise me if he turned out to be a Russian operative. In particular a Slovakian, no hate to Slavs but he just strikes me as one ya know?

It all just reads like a disgruntled federal operative letting the popularity get to their head.

This is the main cause for every country that refuses the migrants, who the heck would want militaty planes to enter their air space?

If he really wants to do this he’ll send them over in civilian planes not military ones…

Only trash adblockers like Adblock Plus and Adguard have that “chance”. uBlock Origin the goat fr frf

ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Allllrighty then

That and a Revanced patched version of it - or better yet Piped.

What are some good examples of apks to use in regards to this use-case?

Care to elaborate? Genuinely i interested as to why that is

TIL. Gonna have to test this out my FreshRSS feed. Ty 🥰

If you’re privacy & security centered do NOT go with Calyx. They still use several g**gle services underneath it all. Graphene is the way to go, and no they are not affiliated with Copperhead (The one who proudly states they work with Raytheon) TLDR copperhead tried to take over Graphene but failed.

Also regarding rumors of it being a FBI honeypot, the feds advertised the backdoored phone /OS as being Graphene itself - or at the very least based on it in some way. It is not.

Just remember to use a oem unlocked android device. Carrier locked phones are often times luck-based in terms of getting it OEM unlocked. Often times they are literally impossible to get unlocked. Support CAN do it and HAVE THE TOOLS to unlock it for you but more often then not… they won’t.

Don’t get me wrong, Calyx without micro g (F-Droid + Obtainium) is a fantastic option plus it’s compatible with a wide range of devices -just not as secure is all.

It’s ironic, using a g**gle phone for privacy. Different strokes for different folks.
