I hope to see free open source, non-big tech Linux OS for phones one day.

I wish phones were more like regular computers where you just buy a phone and then decide which OS you install. Or at least be able to change the OS.

That was a fun read. Loved the sarcasm.

How are manufacturers like this even allowed to exist. The amount of environmental pollution by generating e-waste is just insane.

I dont trust anything that isn’t fully decentralized. Bluesky is very weird in that regard, its partially centralised. I guess it’s better than Twitter (but that is setting the bar very low). I still refrain from using it too often.

It will almost certainly have ads in the future and will inevitably go down the path of reddit, twitter and Facebook so I prefer to use something that is completely out of reach of the CEO if something goes to shit.

Good lord, the amount of idiots that white knighted me for using uBlock.

“WOULD U WORK FOR FREEEEE???”

Like fuck off no I wouldn’t. I also dont buy up every other company I see, turn it to shit and then try to force a political agenda through it, and guess who IS doing that using billions of dollars? Yep, Google.

Oh I didn’t know it was doing this! I will definitely link to the original images. Thanks for the heads up.

You’d think people would want something different like a non proprietary OS that spies on your every daily aspect of your life seeing the recent tensions in the word.

But nah let’s all keep using Facebook, MS, Google and act all surprised pikachu face when 1984 finally happens.

I’ve been wanting a phone with alternate OS for ages now but it simply isn’t there. Guess ill just have to stick to grapheneos for now.

If blackberry manages to come back without using android I might consider them. It its just going to be another shitty android phone with a blackberry skin on it then I’ll pass. Probably a fat chance anyway since no one will buy a phone that doesn’t have android or iOS.

Thanks, i look forward to posting and visiting more often :).

i switched to Linux Mint as well. I really don’t want to use any big tech garbage anymore. They will lure you in with a cheap offer and then when everyone is aboard it’s time to raise prices and start the enshittification.

Thunderbird is also a very good alternative to Outlook.

I steered away from cloud services as long as possible and it seems i’ve made the right choice by keeping it local to my NAS.

I’m using the voyager app and the experience is almost 1:1 with reddit if that maybe helps you.

People are so ignorant of it too. Last time I mentioned lemmy as an alternative somewhere on discord I got nearly banned.

It always amazes me people keep on using centralised platforms like reddit.

Sure lemmy isn’t perfect but at least if one instance goes crazy you can always switch.

Yeah, it’s kinda sad but that will probably happen.

Yeah, except most people suck.

Last time I mentioned lemmy I was almost banned.

Man I wish my online friends were that easy to switch.

As soon as I mention Lemmy “what’s wrong with reddit”. As soon as I mention element “but everyone uses whatsapp/discord”.

It suck that 90% of the people are stuck in their old ways and refuse to try anything new.

Hell I almost got banned for even mentioning lemmy once.

Thanks I’ll definitely check that out. I’ve seen some posts about it working on Synology Nas devices so that’s very interesting.

While both of those are great software. Unless I’m not aware of something they aren’t cloud/network based office suites like Google docs and office 365.

It seems this is an alternative to office software where you can work simultaneously and share documents in the same cloud/network.

I don’t think there is an alternative to office 365 and Google docs at this point that is open source. So this seems like a great project and I’ll definitely be considering it for our company.
