Sounds very Google-like to me… cant even open the browser just by itself and something is tracking you.

Yeah, i dont want to go through that every time i open my browser on my computer, i just want it to work. Im glad Librewolf is firm on this, makes me like them even more now.

Yeah… im noticing im starting to use Librewolf more and more due to these annoying updates.

Either that or Waterfox.

This is what im getting from Tracker Control. For Tuta its blocked, for Droidify theres like 4 trackers allowed (i dont know if blocking them would mess with the function of the app). And 2 for PipePipe cause it is using a google app. Above PipePipe is Blorp, it has three, 2 from Google and one from Fastly.

And for tracker control, the ads that are allowed to go through, if i block them some of these apps would straight up break and not work.

Im gonna be honest, i cant stand going on Github. Its difficult to read anything on there, since im not in that space to understand that language.

That’s a banging ass grilled cheese 👀

Thats why there are PDAs and Cyberdecks. Thats for that purpose. Cant make phone calls but its portable but for Linux mobile it should at least get that right.

See that’s my gripe with Linux. I don’t want a PDA, I can do all of that tinkering on PC.

I get the issue with the bank apps. Especially if your someone who needs to do a lot of transactions over the phone. But all these other apps, at this point we should have alternatives, its ridiculous.

But does it actually work like a phone? Calling, texting, no issues?

Thats why we need an alternative.someone, some company, anyone that can make software that dosent rely on Google just to work.

Its crazy that even in the degoogle world, we still have to rely on Google. if the whole point is to not use Google, then what’s the point? We should have our stand alone apps should we not? We can’t make them but someone our there can.

Honestly, at this point we just need alternatives to some of these Google apps in general.

Well looks like its time to start making alternatives or scream for Linux to come out with a phone.

Emmmm now that’s a dam pizza😍

Yeah, I understand, it would be ALOT to record.

The instance I’m in is definitely the odd ones out, we got no one here😅

Finally came over to Lemmy and found this place when the news of age vertificarion started spreading around, along with the annoying pop us of signing it to view the sight. Plus I got tired of how dead and full of bots it was, what makes Reddit think I would want to come back?? 😑

Very good point. Well for instagram, I only go on there to post on my account and do very little scrolling and that’s it, im off my phone. I’ll be there to just post on my account when I find something suitable. I’ve been pushing myself away from all this media unless its like trustworthy news

Like Google unfortunately uses RCS and everyone i know uses RCS because either they have apple or are using Google messages with RCS. So if I was to go to Signal for example, would my chats transfer over or would I have to start over because RCS is not used?
