That’s great news! I guess i should switch to nightly

This type of thing (+ the AI embedded shenanigans) is what sent me over to Obsidian for personal use.

Still use Notion a bit for work but I’ve peeled way back on it.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think we are still waiting for true tab process separation.

I love IronFox and use it alongside Vanadium. When Fission is confirmed I will bump IronFox back up to most browsing - vastly prefer Gecko browsers as a user but concerned about tab isolation and tracking.

iIRC IronFox has Fission already but there was a dangling question regarding an inability to still isolate processes.

This isn’t on the IronFox devs either - it really needs to be fixed upstream by Mozilla

We desperately need a stable implementation of fission / true tab separation on android.

Just bought a 9 for Graphene. Up and running - works like a charm. Devs are not announcing end of the line for Graphene development- they are making daily updates on their way to bringing out Android 16. At this point I’d grab a 9 rather than wait for the 10. Get yourself up and running before Google tries to lock us out of more apps - right now everything I need runs fine without any play services whatsoever. The OS is solid, Vanadium is really good - I could go on and on. If you are onboard and interested in the project its 100% worth it from where I sit.

Nothing is ever perfectly future proof

I went with the 9 ultimately - and recently - and am very happy so far. I was prepared for a buggy or difficult experience but grapheme is really smooth in my experience so far.

After months of trying to degoogle a Samsung running stock OS, finally having control and proper security is a relief.

I also went with the 256gb and would recommend spending on storage whatever model you go with. Personally i don’t see much in the 9;pro that i don’t already have in the 9.

Signal, Lemmy (Voyager), Mastodon, PipePipe etc all running smoothly.

Learning that many apps you can get on Aurora will work, but most apparently rely on Google Play services to send notifications. So it’s annoying to not receive those or need to set up workarounds, but honestly think about that. The app is telling google every single item it wants to notify you and relying on google to deliver it. That really sucks as a strategy.

Thankfully Signal has its own way of delivering notifications

Many appa that seem to “need” Google Play Services to run will work without it, especially with Exploit Compatibility turned on in that specific app settings. Even worked for banking for me, no play services needed in that profile etc.

Proton Calendar is working well for me. I send and respond to invites from friends and family within it, and it is even able to view my work calendar which unfortunately has to live in Google. I can view work events from my personal device without needing to use any Google login on my own devices so it works for me. Proton Calendar’s UI and UX is pretty similar to Google Calendar IMO

While true, I think many have been motivated to take much further action, get organized and get knowledgeable by the clear collaboration between the far right / neo reactionaries and the tech right in the US in the last decade. So basing the guide off of that will draw attention

LibreOffice has been working “fine” for my DeGoogled personal life.

Work is heavily Googled still (and not entirely up to me), but I’ve practiced a hard barrier between work tech and personal tech for years now. In case I can sway any colleagues: Anybody feeling like any of these alternatives would be ready for a small or larger team to jump over to that routinely collaborates on spreadsheets, documents and slides?
