I think it’s ironic that the alternatives to Android (graphene, calyx) only fully work on Google phones.
Trihilis@ani.social 9 months ago
Doesnt calyxos also work on fairphone
squaresinger@lemmy.world 9 months ago
“work” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here when talking about a Fairphone. Worst phone I ever owned with quite some margin.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 9 months ago
That isn’t really true especially with Calyx OS
ssdfsdf3488sd@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Thise are just different flavors. I need a pixel 8 pro xl equivalent device that runs linux natively. All thw postmarket phones are ancientx

I would get a Nokia flip phone but they cost a bit. Cheaper to get something someone is throwing out

LineageOS works on a bunch of non google phones
nul42@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
I’m running lineage os on a Motorola moto g7 power (2019) Android 15 runs fine on a 6 year old phone.
whoisearth@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
Same reason it continually sucks to get a working Linux build on an apple laptop or desktop.
As bad as Google is, they’re lightyears ahead of Apple in terms of protecting their products in a walled garden.

I love this new arc of pewds, unimaginably based. I’m actually interested in watching his videos now after a looong time. The last three tech related ones were great.

That’s funny I’ve been DONE with poopoopie for a few years. Somehow people keep pushing this creep.

Man I want to move to Graphene so bad. I want all the google ripped out of my phone.
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 9 months ago
Move to Lineage OS or Calyx OS
Don’t be fooled by the Graphene OS Mafia
ssdfsdf3488sd@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Its decent except google amdoid aosp policy changes are screwing it over
JigglySackles@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Yeah, part of why I want to get one soon is to have a semi recent phone before they can’t do graphene properly anymore
tripflag@lemmy.world 9 months ago
what’s stopping you? was the very first thing I did, don’t regret it for a second – ocv.me/b/img/IMG_20230811_121845_049.1ssy.jpg “i’m about to finish setting up my pixel alright” :p
JigglySackles@lemmy.world 9 months ago
The cost of buying a pixel is the only thing stopping me. I don’t have enough to replace my aging phone with much of anything, let alone a pixel.
TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 9 months ago
It was incredibly easy to do and a refurbished pixel 8 is way cheaper than a new phone.
ChapulinColorado@lemmy.world 9 months ago
They are also way too small in terms of storage given that they don’t support external cards (Apple is similar). Google definitely wants buyers to also buy their subscription storage service.
I’m on an XR right now and it feels older, but still very much usable. I wish companies offered options to only get security patches instead of having to buy new phones every few years, that’s the 1 thing I hope Google keeps around and doesn’t walk back in the future.
Evotech@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I’m sceptical of his steamde k hosting solution :p hope he has backup for his files too

People listen to mister nobodies on the internet like they are prophets…
Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 9 months ago
He’s one of the biggest and most loved youtube personalities. He has influence, and him saying this kind of stuff is a big deal. Pretending he’s a nobody shows that you’re simply ignorant.
Engywuck@lemm.ee 9 months ago
Ignorant is everyone worshipping these “celebrities”, my dear clown.
TheOakTree@lemm.ee 9 months ago
And who are you, exactly? I don’t like pewdiepie, or at least I haven’t since I was a literal teenager. He’s a strange person with a strong ego at times, but I’m all for more mainstream exposure to de-Googling, linux, and self-hosting. Just take the win.
corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
If there’s an article with words, can you pass it along? I’m not inclined to go on a Google website and listen to someone slowwwwly tell me why Google is bad.
Life’s too short to listen to people who talk slow.

Google bad, tracking sucks Android -> graphene Keep -> joplin Docs -> nextcloud Gmail -> proton GMaps -> car GPS Tailscale Selfhosted on SteamDeck
RickAstleyfounddead@lemy.lol 9 months ago
Cars steels more data than google
noxypaws@pawb.social 9 months ago
- Gmail -> proton
I recommend Tuta over Proton. They’re much more focused on their core product (not making their own crypto wallet or VPN or storage service or password manager), plus Tuta’s leadership has never endorsed US Republicans, unlike Proton’s
fossilesque@mander.xyz 9 months ago
Tailscale -> Headscale after you get comfy.
Evotech@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I think he actually used something else than proton, he didn’t mention though. Except that he uses his own domain name.
I drive believe he has started hosting his own email though

The only people who have called this guy a nazi are terminally online far left jackoffs who get all their information from other jackoffs in the same echo chambers.

Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
No, he isnt. Repeating false information ad nauseum doesn’t make it true.
Lumisal@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Someone on Lemmy Linux pointed out his past in detail, and I agree he was DEFINETLY going through the far right pipeline.
However, he never continued it, never delved into it farther, never pushed that crap further (the dirtiest thing was hosting I think Shapiro for meme review, which while very bad, at least didn’t keep that shit up. Do wish he’d delete the video though), and seems to have changed paths after getting into actual philosophy. He’s never been a politician who’s destroyed people’s lives or a billionaire or called for people to be harmed, either.
If we hold people like him to the same likeness of people like Musk or Shapiro etc, progressiveness will lose the cultural war to fascism. By equating any potential ally into an enemy, you only destroy your cause, and certainly only help fascists far more.

If you don’t let people make mistakes, change, and grow, you’re living a petty, sad life.

wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
Three R’s to deGoogling: Reduce, replace, remove.
I would say start by changing your browser and search engine (lots of options out there today), and then set up your own domain for email hosting so you can try different providers.
There isn’t another YouTube with all that content out there, so that one is tough, but you don’t have to 100% de google, 50% is still good. 15% is still good.
JessieGearGirl@lemmy.world 9 months ago
set up your own domain for email hosting
cannot recommend this enough!
- register your domain through something like porkbun
- get an account with someone like mxroute.com (i am a fan, but not an affiliate or anything)
- enjoy pain-free email for the rest of your life
buttnugget@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Your own domain for email hosting is a massive pain in the ass. Have you not run into a million problems with other hosting providers refusing you for possibly spam?
pathief@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Self hosting an email server is a pain in the ass and I don’t really recommend it.
Buying your own domain and using it in whatever email provider you want is very easy and gives you ownership over the email address. You may switch providers freely without needing anyone else to do anything.
wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
No, not I don’t self host my email which is where a lot of the trouble comes from
I don’t remember having any issues with it ever. That was a concern so I did slowly transition to the custom domain
Clandestine@lemmy.zip 9 months ago
Didn’t try to host a domain myself yet, but having it set up with Proton has given me zero problems thus far.
Phegan@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Despite the lack of content we should mention peertube any time possible to increase knowledge of it, if nothing else
Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Your own domain, but you’re safer not hosting your own email servers in general. Just wanted to be clear for anyone reading this. If your mail server is down you don’t get mail 🫠
I ended up using a service that isn’t Google for that with my own domain
dangling_cat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 months ago
And soft lock yourself… log in to the DNS portal you need 2FA from your email… while your email is having DNS issues lol

Nebula is an option for some content creators but it is subscription based.
edgarde@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Wish more creators would move to Nebula. I joined when Practical Engineering recommended.
I haven’t quite figured out how to use PeerTube yet.
ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 9 months ago
My own domain?!? Any suggestions??

the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
Get something on .com or .net. Vanity tlds will piss off reputation services. And make sure you set up spf/dkim
AllYourSmurf@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Whatever name fits your fancy. Go with solid registrars like Namecheap or cloudflare.
Once you get your domain, you can use most any email provider to handle mail for that domain. Fastmail is really good. Or proton if you want the encryption.

Throwing it out there - I am tired of left always acting as if something done decade ago was still fresh. Pewds changed, he flipped his whole video formula, and even back then evil things he did were at least questionable. Let it go folks. You are doing nothing else than making yourself look like bitter old people.

ddawg@lemmynsfw.com 9 months ago
Love this, although I think he will realise pretty quickly that hosting on his >!Steam deck!< might have some drawback haha (I’m thinking storage here)

I’m sure all the reactions will be nothing but respectful and factual, and not riddled with decade-old festering emotions.

maxwells_daemon@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Download the video before YouTube takes it down. I want to see that site flooded with reupload if they do.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 months ago
I was actually kinda wondering the other day why super large content creators with good cash flow from what they already do, don’t ditch Google and Patreon or anything else that takes a cut to he nothing more than a middleman to accessing the content? They don’t need to host on the same level as YouTube; they could probably make more money hosting their videos on their own website, where they can control what is free or paid for, and can work directly with advertisers themselves.

So… yeah.
Why are we giving neonazis attention, again?
