I’m mostly on board with this, but even with using only trusted, vetted… apps (which is already a huge challenge for some) I wouldn’t go for sure that none of those are going rouge (as we saw before: some adv company buying a decent SW and making it a bloatware).
Getting back to my first point: I just had a situation where I had to install Viber for example, and I can’t stress enough how grateful I was for the Storage and Contact scopes features.
I just keep it on my work profile with my other work related apps, so I’m sure it never touches my personal stuff.
I’m using it on Windows at work and I was also surprised how often it just gets stuck. Deleting the database did help for some time, but then it came back every time I’m sending an email.
Gboard runs OK without any permissions, so if you don’t find anything good enough, that still could be your solution. I tried many other options but haven’t found a bilingual swipe keyboard as good as Gboard unfortunately. I just gave it network permission to download dictionaries, switched off all permissions, and it’s running smooth since months now.
Those purchases will be lost if you want to degoogle. Just went through this some time ago and actually it was a good opportunity to think about which one I’m really using. The ones I really like and there was an opportunity to buy them outside of the Google ecosystem, I rebought (for example Tasker). For all others, I found good replacements.
I feel like their goal is more close to providing a privacy-minded alternative to Google’s G-suite to “regular” users, so for me it totally makes sense. But yeah, I’m also really waiting for the Linux drive app.
Do you have any smart home setup as of now? Asking because if you have a Hue Bridge or Home assistant running at homefor example, that could narrow the results.
The main takeaway for termux users: if you have it installed from GitHub/F-droid, be sure not to update the app from the Play Store in the coming days/weeks as versioning hasn’t been significantly changed for that release yet.
300 searches/month feels tight for my use case. How do you manage? Are you using something else for search?
I’m using DDG and I’m ok with it, every one out two time a month I check Google results for some topic, and DDG seems to do well.
Unless OP is a gardener :D But totally agree, if it’s an office job, doing some physical work can do wonders.
That’s the only good thing in this story. It usually gets ugly when guns are also involved.
Do you see where I’m going here, or do I have to involve it in my story for you to see?
Totally get your point, and this is the logical way to think about it, but I’m not sure what decision I would make when I don’t have the time to think through.
Also, I don’t think we can be sure that this store policy is not about guns, at least in part. I’m not from the States, but when there’s the implication of more people seriously hurt in public, in the USA, that’s where my mind is.
I feel like OP did the right thing by heart, and this story would have had a different ending in a country with different gun laws and history of gun violence. Also if the case really is OP was let go to show others that they should not engage in this “reckless behaviour” I feel it at least it should have been communicated as such when fired.
I have just tried it out for a quite limited time, but ente also looks great.
That’s really cool, thanks!
ProtonPass has mail aliases that work together with Proton Mail. I think they bought SimpleLogin some time ago. It could be a paid feature thought.
I have my navigation buttons turned off for years now, so I couldn’t disagree more.
Just glancing at the preview, I thought Chance Crawford is doing a
Deepdive into a game :)
