You can install a custom launcher on eos. I will say that the default apps cannot be uninstalled, but I heard there’s a way to do it by connecting your phone to your PC.

I created a random username for osm that’s different from my usual. I’m sure if you went into my change history, you could figure out a lot about me. But, it isn’t tied to any other account in an obvious way, so that gives me a small bit of peace of mind.

I’m generally with you, but consider fig 1:

I have /e/os. I decided on that pretty early on in my degoogling journey. Main reason being that I believe any privacy venture will come with tradeoffs, but I went with the “most things will work” approach. They have this neat privacy manager that tells you which trackers come from where, and I think that covers my needs. There has been exactly zero apps that haven’t worked so far, and most people that use my phone just think it’s a standard pixel.

The app lounge kind of blows though. I use the F-Droid app for updating F-Droid apps instead of it, since there was some weird stuff about where they were getting open source apps from. I use it for the play store, and it does what it needs to, although there is some weirdness with it like not being able to tell which apps have recently updated and when. I like the idea of joining app repositories together, but it needs work.

Ah yes, call ICE on the immigrants “wokely”

It’s probably not at all indicitave of social decay that there are at least 3 failed impeachment attempts every year.

May be unpopular, but I haven’t found anything that works better than jerboa. It’s maintained by the Lemmy devs. It’s simple, open source, customizable.

That’s the conclusion I’m coming to. Saw a lot of posts from self hosters happy they aren’t affected by this. Figured there was some reason NOT to use Cloudflare (security, etc.). But it kind of just seems like a personal preference. Cloudflare has certainly had better uptime than all my services thus far 🙂

I use cloudflare for my DNS 🫤
