Personally, I like to have a small font with a high density so as much info is on the screen as possible.

Also, if you like to watch Youtube or movies on your device, you'll notice the difference in resolution.

Mint. I'm not a "tech genius" and it was presented as an easy intro to Linux. I feel no need to distro hop, getting by just fine with my little minty penguin thank you very much!

No questions in particular as of yet. Still assembling hardware. I'm going for a server built on a NAS

From google? I got mine from second hand market

Mint is pretty legit. Their Cinnamon desktop is looking a lot prettier these days too.

I landed on Fedora KDE because I need gaming features like VRR, and still wanted features like Secure Boot & a distro with a lot of users and documentation.

Ah yes, organic rage bait instead of Ai swirls fancy wine

It really goes to show no little of the abuse we suffer is inherently the Internet's fault. Lemmy feels like the reddit I knew and loved of 15 years ago. Sure there's some assholes I argue with but that's the normal amount of shittieness not the turbocorpo abuse

A lot of it is hitting critical mass too. Reddit used to be tech enthusiasts and stem students the same way Fediverse is currently. Now any town idiot yahoo from the sticks will angrily yell at you on Reddit for no reason.

But yeah the algorithm is a lot stronger than it would seem.

There is no verification that is true.

But there is a nearly continuous stream of occurrences where Meta is caught lying.

That still drives sales and demand for future manufactured Pixels... Google thanks you for your patronage.

Jellyfin truly is the shit. Now if only I could somehow hook it into authentik and traefik for sso without pulling all my hair out.. 🤪

I don't trust Google hardware

GrapheneOS currently relies on Google for both hardware and security updates. The Motorola thing is encouraging, but they never should have built on Google phones to begin with.

This will be the hardest thing you will do in your life that you will never regret.

It is actually verified e2ee. However, they do keep a 'spare key' for every single user and chat, you know, in case they need to help you, the good guys at Meta.

Lol, story of my life. But the best part is looking at people's faces when you say 'I don't have whatsapp' 🤣

Can you show me where it's verified? Did someone get to see the code?

They are low priced because they expect data harvesting to happen

What other hardware do you trust, if any?

E2EE but with a caveat that they can do on device detection of unencrypted messages and flag content back to mothership

Gives me a jumpscare when I apply updates, not gonna lie

I hâte this reminder too. But the constant playsyore is missing permissions is a reward. Yes stay here little software keep complaining, your owner can go fuck them self.

Some are trying though. Some one tried to be a smart ass saying that us lemmyngs where cool with piratage when it is for random people but not when it is for facebook so we should be ashamed. He got his ass handed by multiple people. Good time.
Not even an insult was thrown <3 it was civilized, I love you guys.

Murena Fairphone

do you know what to replace android with?

This is the way

Only Chinese.
OnePlus and Motorola. .
I'm waiting on Motorola to release a device specifically for graphene

What makes Chinese hardware more trustworthy?

If I recall correctly grapheneOS is going to switch to Motorola for their new releases

It's not made by a US company. Meaning there is no insensives to add us gov backdoors or something for military or for companies like palantir.
Google is an ad company. They have insensitives to collect all the data on us.

As far as I'm aware Moxie Marlinspike made the encryption before it was acquired by Facebook. One of the founders of WhatsApp now finances Marlinspike'd Signal messenger.

In theory Meta only sees who you communicate with, but not what you communicate.

(I wouldn't be surprised if the bastards are trying to undo the encryption if they already haven't.)

before it was acquired by Facebook

not that it really matters, but it was a few years after the acquisition.

because in some countries it's been the default means of communication for over a decade, which means a network effect.

checkout Gelato for jellyfin if you are low on disk space

I still have my CAD $210 Google credit from Google because they throtted my Pixel, and I might let it expire because I want a Fairphone instead.

I couldn't do it myself. Ended up going Fairphone and Calyx instead. Just patiently waiting for Calyx to start releasing again.

I'm glad that GrapheneOS exist, and it's sad that they are the exception and not the rule.

I think projects like CalyxOS and LineageOS should adopt some feature from GrapheneOS like contact/storage scopes, sandboxed Google Play Services, Network and Sensor toggles.

At the same time, I think GrapheneOS needs to reevaluate their presence in social media.

Oh yeah cause China is known for freedom and privacy.

Does it? I mean yeah there are several people that upgraded and sold their old model but they could as well go for another phone

I hate big tech too but i promise you China is no better.

Buying new is still screwing yourself over. Buy second hand and take advantage of all the fools thinking they have to upgrade every year.

I strongly recommend TrueNAS Scale. It's built on Debian, and has full docker implementation.

I got a cloudflare tunnel going. Easy peasy.

I'm. I'm going to disagree. All the antihuman inventions like AI and palanter recently seems to be coming from domestic geniuses

TrueNAS Scale's Docker implementation is currently really mediocre - it's implemented as an app store style experience - and deploying/managing containers via the CLI isn't officially supported although it works fine. They do have a more generic container management implementation in beta at the moment.

Agreed! The shocking part for me is how few folks are forgetting the most basic tenets of high school econ, supply and demand.

They're aren't 8 billion used pixels to go around, and if there were... GOOGLE WOULD BUILD MORE. It's an ineffective boycott.

This joining gets me a lot of downvotes on Reddit, but I'm telling you, GOS acolytes are the cross-fitters of the degoogling world.

I'm on the same boat; FP4 + CalyxOS. Do you know have they (Calyx) confirmed anything about the projects future? Last I heard was in around december, and things were quite uncertain back then.

but seriously, drop the smart phone entirely.

I hope they're not ending the project. They were pretty comfortably the best Graphene alternative but you'll need security updates.
