CalyxOS on Fairphone is your friend, my friend. 😎 It’s degoogled and it values your privacy. If you really need an app from Google Play, there is the Aurora store in between. For everything else thete is F-droid and the calyx and guardian repo.
I’m happy not to buy an iPhone and instead resort to European (Fairphone) and South Korean brands which actually fit my needs.
True, but it also reminds us what happens when someone on Lemmy gets downvoted, reported and banned for having their own valud standpoint, which is not accepted by the majority of us.
We should keep in mind that we are prone to making the same mistake.
At least it’s tutanota.
Did I get this right? Redditors are not allowed to write “nword”, but they are allowed using the actual N-word?
Fcking hypocrites!
There are still human users over on reddit? This must change. More punishment on reddit please!
This happened to me twice, but it was twitter (long before Musk took over). They held my account hostage in exchange to my phone number - which I refused to give them.
Despite the ban, their system still sent me their annoying newsletter. It also took me 3 support tickets to get my account deleted and stop receiv8ng emails.
That’s nice, but can’t we block TikTok on all platforms, so we can get rid of it already?
It was about Co-Pilot and Office365. I only skipped through it, but all I’ve seen and heard was BS.

Ask and answer their popular questions again in here. Also, a popular search engine should list the thread on Lemmy.
Probably. But maybe it is my habit of unshitifying every OS I install. I always decline telemetry, ads and suspecious features since Win10 rolled out. Same on my android phones. Use adblock since I cannot stand seeing ad banners without freaking out.
My point is: Microsoft and Google always offer opting-out. Users are responsible for accepting or declining services like telemetry. If you still cry about this crap: FIX YOUR CONFIG.
I cannot relate to most of your points. I’ve never seen the ads you describe. UI made a huge leap forward after they neglected it for decades, so it almost caught up to the usual Linux DEs (as they were some years ago). System performance is not worse than on my several Linux systems.
I just don’t see the point in switching to Linux now, if you haven’t already done years ago.
I hope the big G will pull the big N into court.
Yes, but users with basic knowledge don’t even get the difference between a web browser and a search engine. Shutting down Google seems like a perfect “simple” explanation for a general digital lockdown.
They know this is impossible - even with their worthless currency. I guess they will soon provide their own services or they will revoke internet access from their citizens.
Will they pay cheap developers with vodka?
Artists embraced Adobe long enough. It’s time for a change.
