Yup same here. Two profiles, one is my daily driver and open source, they other is for the few apps I need with Google services. This is the perfect compromise between what I want, and what I need.
Used to be worse, to quote messers Pratchett & Gaimon.
"NOTE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND AMERICANS: One shilling = Five Pee.
It helps to understand the antique finances of the Witchfinder Army if you know the original British monetary system
Two farthings = One Ha'penny. Two ha'pennies = One Penny. Three pennies = A Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupences = A Sixpence. Two Sixpences = One Shilling, or Bob. Two Bob = A Florin. One Florin and One Sixpence = Half a Crown. Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten Bob Notes = One Pound (or 240 pennies). Once Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea.
The British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because they thought it was too complicated."
Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
I'll admit it, didn't pay attention to the group, spent the last minute looking for a bee on a stick.
Lovely cat. Disappointed in me. Sad no bee on stick.
I'm on an old android 7 (LineageOS), no issues this side.
Online ads, same here.
Was a small thing, I was vaguely aware of online ads but only at a high level.
Was browsing online for garden sheds then turned the laptop off. Came back in the evening and every single site was pushing ads for gardens sheds.
Did some research and 7 years later, de-googled phone, all social media long since closed, linux (mostly), VPN etc etc.
Not going to pretend I can do anything against state actors (CIA, GCHQ) , my threat actors are businesses, Meta, Amazon, Googlr etc.
Can't beat them all, but I can make my data exepensive to them at least.
The last two for fuck sake; after that list what the hell is, or how does Fuckerburg, define 'sensitive data'?
'People' won't react to this until they are hit with a real and tangible consequence:
'sorry, based on the heath data you gave to Meta we're doubling your insurance premiums'
Same here Re: Slide, Liftoff does the trick for me and runs on android 7
Thank you, supporting the services and apps I'm using here is the next phase.
Will set something up in the morning
Or grinding wool between your front teeth; every example so far has made me grimace.
I don't know but in all seriousness I'd suspect there is a German word for it.
Much appreciated!
I suspected I'd figured it out but confirmation is always welcomed, slowly getting to grips with Lemmy and very much enjoying it.
Live launches, documentaries etc; I can get behind this streaming service.
