Use small instances. I've never had trouble on lemdro.id.

I'd use Firefox for Android if it had working per - site process isolation.

No it's not just an American thing. On my carrier I can have unlimited data all I want but hotspot is limited to 5GB/month and I have to pay for more or it goes down to 512Kbps basically unusable.

Try adding some blocklists, maybe the Hagezi ones. I remember NextDNS being quite good at that test.

But....why?

The most used communication app in my country is a homegrown, bloated, tracker - ridden privacy invading nightmare that the government keeps pushing by making people use it for actual OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT BUSINESS. I bet they're scanning everything in that app alright.

I bet it's USB 2.0. Sidenote: DAE hate all cloud transfer options/nearby share/airdrop and just plug in a good old cable like me any time they need to transfer stuff lol?

Such a good VPN for a really good price. I'll definitely be renewing when the time comes.

I got a Pixel 6 Pro second hand from the US recently for GrapheneOS.

Here's what I like:

  • Fingerprint sensor is fast and reliable
  • Phone is buttery smooth, no weird slowdowns, I've been very satisfied
  • Excellent hardware: beautiful, premium, unqiue. It feels heavy but in a well - balanced, premium way .The curved back, screen and sides makes it so comfortable to hold. And I love the camera bar which because the phone doesn't rock back and forth on the table.
  • No parallel for customization, well maintained custom ROMs (I came from a Xiaomi, I swear Google Pixels are way better in this regard.), GrapheneOS is awesome.

What I don't like:

  • Phone gets hot on cellular, probably an inefficient Exynos modem
  • Battery is just okay. Charging is not an issue, takes about an hour to reach 80%, which is what I usually keep my phone at anyway for better battery health.
  • Screen not quite bright enough on brutal summer days.

So yeah overall I'm a happy camper. When this one loses support for GrapheneOS, I'll be upgrading to another Pixel.

Down again it seems. People seriously need to switch away from lemmy.world. Every single time it goes down so much content goes down with it. It's annoying.

90% on Vanadium (which has no ad blocker) + Mullvad VPN. Good enough.
