Guess their thinking is that Google may not be a monopoly in 3 years, so the rules might not need to apply at that point, or they be reviewed?

Why do I doubt this.

If I were a suspicious person I’d say this was an ad for the new Penguin show.

I personally fucking hate it. But my whole friends group use it for events (bad, birthdays), and messenger chat.

How do you convince ~30 people to switch to something else?

What app do they switch to?

Is it just me or is that more of a hinderance?

Has options for pasting, and even a clipboard history feature? Although have not enabled that or tested it.

Same. I’ve been attempting to de-Google and stick with FOSS where possible, but only Lawnchair has come close to Nova Launcher, but it’s not without its limitations like setting a primary home screen, and better widget padding and removing round corners.

I’m still experimenting with others, but many are no longer under active development either.

Agreed. Plenty of notes apps; none with decent collaboration features.

I went with FUTO Keyboard. It’s the only keyboard that ticks all my boxes to replace GBoard so far.

I wish the swiping predictions were a bit better though.

Because they risk being bullied or left out. Denying their kid a phone only works if all the parents do it.

Edit: I don’t have a solution; maybe an anti-bullshit law that punishes people from spouting bullshit? (Good luck religious folks!)

But denying a phone may just replace one problem with another.

How do I confirm it’s enabled?

Is this also how they know which ads to feed you?

Just out of interest, how do those browsers, and other forks, get funding? All voluntarily development or donations?

Just stop buying their coffee. You don’t need it.

I tried it and was underwhelmed, but also overwhelmed.

I love the idea of choosing everything I want, but Arch also meant the pain of learning to install everything I actually need first.

Is there a minimalistic distro that installs all just the essentials (drivers, services like DHCP, a package manager, desktop GUI), and then I choose from there?

I started moving from Firefox to LibreWolf and found a few too many convenient features broke.

I think password and bookmark syncing was too difficult to move away from, as I use them across devices/phone.

Haven’t had time to research alternative methods or practices.

Satire is well & truly dead.

Yeah. Then I’ll fill up my free 15gb quota with garbage OS files, and be prompted to pay a subscription to backup the other 1-2tb of data.

I don’t know nothing

Yes you do, you’ve just used a double negative.

Well, Bosnia did attack Croatia in early 90’s didn’t they?
