- Comment on It's Time to Ditch Evernote for One of These Alternatives 1 year ago:
what’s not to like? Poor ui, bad syncing. Good software, not perfect.
- Comment on It's Time to Ditch Evernote for One of These Alternatives 1 year ago:
Syncthing-ing the vault works for me. P2p instead of cloud.
- Comment on Do you actually own anything digital? 1 year ago:
Custom Android ROM? Linux? That’s just not true. Especially considering entirely FOSS devices i.e. System76.

Any instances who’ve promised not to block?

Pirating and Librera or e-reader nevernconnected to internet.
- Comment on What happened to LineageOS? Has it been replaced by GrapheneOS? 1 year ago:
My thing is, I like having root. Lineage tells me, “that’s okay.” Divest, Graphene, etc. tell me (correctly) that that’s insecure and I shouln’t do it. But I still want root, and don’t like the idea of opposing my ROM in what I’m doing.

That doesn’t make sense. uBO would just be forked.

- Comment on If you have an Android phone have you tried Beeper Mini 1 year ago:
This was badly written and passive aggresive for no reason, idk why I sent it
- Comment on If you have an Android phone have you tried Beeper Mini 1 year ago:
Less features, teens do social ostracization, and adding a non-iPhone into a group chat makes the group chat worse so Android users don’t get added to group chats, etc.
- Comment on If you have an Android phone have you tried Beeper Mini 1 year ago:
Yes, but the sent messages to them are blue.
- Comment on If you have an Android phone have you tried Beeper Mini 1 year ago:
The color that changes is the one of the sender on iMessage. If you message an iPhone user your bubbles are blue and over iMessage, and if you message an Android user your messages are green and over SMS.
- Comment on If you have an Android phone have you tried Beeper Mini 1 year ago:
Yep. Teens in the US.
- Comment on If you have an Android phone have you tried Beeper Mini 1 year ago:
Same. Are you on a Micro-G based phone?
- Comment on why am I told that I'm a child on the internet?? I'm 20!! 1 year ago:
I’m sorry? Many, including me, started using linux & FOSS at ages as young as what you complain you’ve been being called.
- Comment on Dear YouTube; About that Chapter Skipping Feature 1 year ago:
I use that feature. Extremely often.
- Comment on Soon, Google has even more leverage against adblockers - gHacks Tech News 1 year ago:
That’s fair enough although I’d argue some desktop environments and Linux distributions are usable very easily. Remember that people like grandma are using “the operating system as a bootloader for the browser” and if they can open Chrome or Firefox they’re good.
That being said when writing my response I admittedly had you in mind as the user who simply wanted to save money.

Only the google edition, not carrier versions.
- Comment on 'Morale is at an all-time low': Ex-Googler writes scathing latter slamming layoffs and 'eroded' culture 1 year ago:
Actually, it’s easiest to escape google with a Pixel, even more than an iPhone with GrapheneOS (only if not a carrier phone though).

Ente? Just started subscribing though… seems good. 99c for base plan is pretty attractive.

That’s also the motivation between some of those stupid fake “Gen Z Can’t Answer Simple Questions” videos.

They don’t care. You were costing them money to show you video while not giving them anything.

You can use Adnauseum, silently/invisibly clicks on every ad as well as hiding them so that the ads get worthless data, your info is drowned out with false stuff (there’s a term but I blanked on it), hurts ads
