Not yet. Once their done with Start Trek and Star Wars, it will be Stargate’s turn.

Add “lighting done so we actually see what the fucks going on”. Sick of these dark, foggy, desaturated scene to hide the set budget was 12 cents.

I’m sorry! Anakin killed them all, so I couldn’t ask what their preferred name is! 😢

Linux … you guys make money spying?

Try out Privacy.com for online shopping. Also use gift cards where possible.

For physical, cash is king, followed by gift cards. Visa prepaid cards are a solid choice, but not really practical.

Failing that, I’m not sure you can find a private card, not that I’ve looked.

Its a similar problem with Proton for me. Proton doesn’t even let you sync to 3rd party cal app on the free tier.

If you’re going to paywall basic functionality, that just prevents me from trying it for a while and eventually become so tied to it, it’s difficult to break free. Google had the right plan from the get-go.

Same, oddly enough the app name and icon didn’t change for me. Still K-9 in app settings too.

You know, I have obtainium but often forget it exists.

Welp my phone updated to 15 today…guess I can join the bugged syncthing-fork club.

Looks like it is fixed in the latest release, just have to wait until it gets pushes to fdroid.

That’s just the off button. But you can’t remove it because they tied it to explorer as a dependency. Off or not, explorer doesn’t work with out recall.

Turning it off is a good step 1, but what’s stopping some malicious software, such as every windows update, from turning it back on and selling our data for profit.

Sounds like a bug and the dev hasn’t caught up to the new version?

one has micro transactions that googles gets to skim from and the other doesn’t.

Thanks.

i know you said no pixel, however … Pixel + GrapheneOS works great and easy to install.

GrapheneOS takes the google spyware out of pixel. However, it does add a slightly steeper learning curve to Android. Not too bad, just a few more options to poke at.

It doesn’t cut you off from the google play store, instead sandboxing it preventing from accessing data outside its own service. This is important if you need specific apps for work, bank, etc.

For open-source apps F-Droid app store is your friend.

Unfortunately, GrapheneOS only works for pixel. There are other options you could look into such as LinageOS, but those goes beyond my personal knowlage. Specifically you want a phone that allows you unlock the bootloader.

Avoid Samsung like the plague.

Any version of Android that comes pre-installed is going to have Google Spyware and bloat. Manufactures, especially Samsung, spin up their own version of Android so then you have both Googles bloat and Samsung bloat.

You’re trusting a third party to store, protect and not loose your passwords behind a vault you never see.

Google had messed up pretty bad a few months ago. Last pass has had issues. I’m unaware of 1pass having issues, but I don’t exactly pay close attentions. https://www.keepersecurity.com/blog/2024/08/01/google-password-manager-loses-millions-of-passwords/

These days its not if something bad happens, its when and how bad.

Keeping your database private, also reduces the risk of random attacks a lot. If you’re passwords aren’t part of a big data leak, they can’t use them. Hackers are after the big payouts or the easy payouts. They’re less likely to spend a lot time trying to crack your one database, when they can move on to the next guy who keeps them all in a word doc.

If you do have reason to keep using 1pass for whatever reason, be it convince or lack of time to switch, I highly recommend at least getting your important (email, bank, etc) passwords duplicated to something like Keepass (back that file up too) so if/when 1pass ever looses your passwords, you at least have a solid starting point for recovery. Its also good way to familiarize/try out a few options with out dedicating to a full switch.
