I’m okay with him earning money to live, but put ads is absolutely not something to do. Donate to him, etc. But you shouldn’t use an app with ads

Why does he done it with ads?

If you use Fedora and only FLOSS apps on your PC that’s great! Next that’s the turn of your phone, at the end you should use only FLOSS apps, first try to switch from FB messenger (switching to SimpleX), next don’t use spotify : cracked Spotify (not for privacy) or RiMusic for no-ads and privacy. For maps there’s no real great apps but maybe Organics Maps for navigation and GMaps WV to see the infos directly for maps but securely. For your bank, I have no real idea, you should remove it but if you can’t… Or you have others choice for your OS, maybe your banking app will work. You can useDivestOS or CalyxOS but for privacy in fact /e/OS is even better than Graphene (not for security, for privacy).

I’m sure talking about the 30days challenge from Raid Owl and I have an idea of his conclusion. First he’s a power user (not in the fact of tweaking and scratch in the file system), he needs a lot of stuff to work. And for someone outside of the traditional office work or maybe developing, Linux is hard to use for graphics works, so sure Linux Mint is not for this kind of people but you should always recommended it to “normal” people and beginner in Linux. Sure in this case his conclusion is wrong, he should have used Fedora, Arch or OpenSUSE, but that’s it.

Who is he?

For sure! Personally I prefer using the app

Great for piracy!

Maybe but you’ve done the transition to Lemmy try to use a libre client

Maybe but not only, for phone I recommend an app that’s much more optimized for using on mobile

Bro why using Lemmy if it’s for using proprietary client? Voyager, Jerboa, you have others choice…

It’s very depending on which apk you want. If you only want the apk of one specific open source app, just check on fdroid or on their git (mostly on github). And if you want play store apps without installing Aurora store, just use ApkMirror (their apks are mostly clean, cleaner than Apkpure in any case…).

First, you use Lemmy, that’s great. But pls use a client without ads…

Meta train open llms, only big techs can train AI… Go pursuit OpenAI or Google and leave Meta (I’m really not a fan of Meta but their “open” AIs are great examples of good works) do their work!

No

I would like to thank him for everything, just thx ❤️ RIP

This thing is really scary, any other articles?

Because today if you find a Signal app on Fdroid you’re sure that it’s nonofficial, on the play store only one app is allowed, the official.

Signal is using Google Push messaging, but it could be used with websocket. And officially it’s not on fdroid because they don’t want forks of their app

Great choice, now do not say the same thing next year!

There is ONE problem, the parents.

You shouldn’t disallow everything in your state… The parents should be educated about it and say stop to their kids, these days parents are submerged by all the techs stuff and they don’t understand anything. Sadly. The problem is more global, even 20-25 years old adults do nothing about their days because they doom-scroll… This shouldn’t be banned (but yeah the companies behind it are evil to do some evil stuffs), after they will banned everything.
