Not every app is graphical. Not all can be disabled.

Using “package manager” from F-Droid you can list them and simply use adb uninstall --user 0 APP for all apps. Copy paste, appname, thats it.

Just be sure to keep the logs to reinstall when needed?

Do not use privatelock! It has the possibility to permanently lock your phone! For me it had a bug with the sensor and it was very hard to remove

Androids init system is very random. Use “Shelter” to isolate apps. Other apps will auto run if they want, or not if they dont. Its random.

Use GrapheneOS or LineageOS. On Pixels use GOS.

Try Termux, its a Linux container.

Developer options maybe.

I think this additional dependency wont bother 90% of the people. Agree on EasyEffects

Google, Meta and Samsung too. You can be 90% FOSS, 10% complete tracking. Thats enough

Bullshit. Even the flatpak is not sandboxed very much. If you sandbox it totally then maybe. But I dont know.

How most comments are either “I use X anyways” or “Edge seems to be a decent browser”

It is not. Has no tracking protection at all and itself tracks you a hell lot.

Its just a browser, no need to be tracked, for what in reverse? The same with Chrome, I dont get it?

Here is some actual MITM traffic analysis. Use Firefox Translate to translate.

Just install Ubuntu, run unsnap, add some repos for Firefox (oe just use Flatpaks), remove extensions (is that possible?)

I would never use an older version of Ubuntu just to fix some things. The problems arent that huge.

But apart from that, why not Fedora? Its not actually that different if you dont depend on edgy software only available as .deb

Thunderbird now has a really useful reminder popup for that!

Yes I think too, but it got better or different or opt-out or anything, not sure.

I alias most of my flatpaks to autorun, made a tool for that called flatalias.

Let me tell you about the “Asse” in Lower Saxony, Germany…

There is no way to safely store nuclear waste. It makes entire landscapes unusable, it lasts nearly forever and… the waste management is done by the state, not the company!

Nuclear power is some capitalist bullshit that outsources the waste and risks to the state. Only in that case its profitable in any way.

Solar and Wind are so much easier, solar extremely. If we could change out loads, focus everything on the day and simply not use that much at night, we wouldnt even need that much wind. Decentralized, local networks of Solar Power are the future.

Pantherina, 7 days ago

Windmill blades are afaik way worse than solar panels. And again, as its capitalist, focussing on efficiency, price or even (who would expect?) planned obsolescence, these products may not be as repairable as possible.

For example, give up 2% efficiency but have the solar panel parts easily seperateable. Have every part modular, they may be bigger and heavier, but allow a circular economy.

Pantherina, 7 days ago

Really interesting things. Nuclear power is still non regenerative though. And I have no clear opinion on if its safe or not, just that its not really necessary.

No, costs for decentralized Solar would not be on the Individuals. Individuals are a Product of Capitalism, if you want to phrase it like this. They are consumers of electrical power and also now Producers. There should simply be an amount of solar power everyone can have, per capita for example. And for every person this power is then produced, on their roof or elswhere if its not fitting.

I have no clear plan, as consumers need to pay the consume. But for example having a tax-free lending (non native no idea how its called) would help

Pantherina, 8 days ago (edited 7 days ago)

Dont care, I just dont get all these US memes, so kinda seperating by country would make sense.

But if we dont allow political memes it doesnt scare the neonazis anymore and I dont like that.

Edit: I love how this polemic post has no downvotes

Pantherina, 11 days ago (edited 11 days ago)

Hoow do people use Plasma 6? I tried using KDE Neon unstable twice now. First install everything glitches, kickoff broken and updates dont work. Second install the installer is not even working.

Do they compile that stuff themselves?

Pantherina, 11 days ago

On my stupid Amd Thinkpad I have no virtualized GPU at all, so all VMs are a total pain. But on the new try it was literally the Neon Installer not finding user@user and cancelling

Poorly upgrades often only work manually. They are like dates, sometimes more happens, sometimes less, so they may be a bit random, but its good to wait a bit and then upgrade, as they introduce new possibly breaking changes. Meanwhile the old version (on Debian and Ubuntu even multiple ones) still get updates, mainly security fixes, but on Fedora I think there are none, so in a different way non-major updates

The Android 11 menu really is so good…

LineageOS maintains these fixes:

• seperate internet toggles
• old navigation bar(I think)
• long press for torch

Such a quality of life improvement

Pantherina, 15 days ago

It has no way to disable the text, even though EVERY android user knows these symbols forever. It only makes sense in some toggles.

No seperate internet toggles… so stupid.

Hmm. My Plasma session for some reason takes ages to load. Compared to Windows instantly loading. Booting takes forever and its not customizable at all though.

Windows update is horrible. Fedora Kinoite already is soo much better while being completely stable, and regular linux distro updates are fine too.

Nearly every preinstalled app sucks. And there is no real Dolphin for Windows! There actually is some old version, but it doesnt use its Linux potential at all. On Win11 both the standard Filemanager and “Files Community” (which is extremely shady and needs a lot of Windows stuff to even instally) are slow as hell and use these horrible adaptive context menus, where especially the “create new” dialog is NOT at the top!!

I love Linux.

Create fake profiles with your name lol hahaha, keep track of every detail in a Keepass entry.

Seperate Profiles on GrapheneOS may be overkill. I use shelter work profile, so you have two. You can also seperate Google, VPN and everything, and you can quickly disable it and send data to it.

Runtimes are okay, the problem is there is no runtime package manager and often you have like 7 of them, which is horrible. But on modern hard drives also no problem.

Appimages cant be easily ran from terminal, you need to link then to your Path.

For Flatpak I made a tool that aliases their launch commands to be very easy.
