Fucking nerd.

…me too though 😔

It sounds like the first doctor might have been a bit lazy.

And Eternity

I use the QR Scanner and several of the games. Well made.

I think they are referring to the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. Kids publicly denounced, criticised and some even harmed their parents but we are not sure if they killed them. This was done to achieve several things. Destroying religious practices was a part of it.

I think I started with Mint 13. After hopping around for years I’m now on Debian.

I recommend Mint to people in general. It’s perfect for most people. We shouldn’t be required to learn about everything in the world.

I don’t expect anyone to become a mechanic just because they need a car. If that were a requirement then most people would just not get a car. It’s also okay to continue driving and never becoming a mechanic later.

Sounds like someone is little bit cranky. You’ve been using proprietary software, haven’t you? It’s all right. Try this. It’ll help.

I think this might be what you’re looking for. I remember it got some attention when it was announced.

I deleted my account over ten years ago so I haven’t tried this myself though.

As long Google keep it proprietary, you have to assume it’s not good for privacy. Google lies about privacy all of the time. It’s barely been two months since the last time they were found guilty. This is how they operate. It’s just a business expense.

Off topic but what’s the name of the app you are using for Lemmy?

As long as you don’t mess around with the “Unsafe Features” in the settings it’s very private.

DoidFS can use the camera to take photos and record video. It gets stored in the vault instead of your camera roll. This ensures that other apps never get access to the photo/video, even if they have “all-files access”.

Several other apps does some version of this. If you have tried to export a photo from Signal to your camera roll, you have probably seen this before.

DroidFS does not ask for camera permission unless you try to use this feature. The app does not need the camera for anything else, so if you don’t allow it to use the camera everything else still works.

It doesn’t work on ARM, but Tails is based on Debian so it’s probably going to run on ARM some day.

First of all, why?

Secondly, I absolutely love it.

I export my contacts as a file and copy it to my pc, an external HDD and several cloud providers. Anything I store in the cloud is encrypted with Rclone first. There is a nice client available for Android. I don’t pay for cloud storage so I only use the free tiers.

I guess this is only practical if you rarely make changes to your contacts.

I know :( They also removed the 3.5 mm port. It’s getting harder and harder to find a phone with good hardware in my opinion. Makers of phones largely focus on improving stuff I don’t care about.

Yeah, I should be using GrapheneOS. It is the better OS. I absolutely agree. I just don’t like the hardware.

I want a small (max 71 mm width) phone with lots of local storage, a 3.5mm port, card slot, replaceable battery, optical fingerprint sensor, plastic back, IR port and wireless charging.

I understand that I can’t get all of this in 2025, but I’m trying to at least get as much as possible. That’s why I’m probably going to end up getting a Fairphone 6 when it comes out and use CalyxOS.

That’s not the official site. It has an old version (July 2024) and the file might contain malware. You can safely download the latest version from GitHub and find their updated guide there.

If you don’t want to use Github, you can use the site they have linked to which is https://smarttubeapp.github.io/

I use Joplin. The functionality is nice, but visually the app looks a little outdated in my opinion. It’s worth it though.

CalyxOS is based on LineageOS, so it’s very similar. microG is not included though, so you have to install that yourself if you want it. You can’t get Datura on LineageOS but it’s based on LineageOS’s firewall which is kinda similar but more basic.

LineageOS does not come with Gapps. So LineageOS is basically a good clean Android experience and CalyxOS is the privacy focused fork. Both are waaaaay more private than the version of Android installed from the factory but CalyxOS makes privacy a bit easier.
