I’m okay with him earning money to live, but put ads is absolutely not something to do. Donate to him, etc. But you shouldn’t use an app with ads

Why does he done it with ads?

If you use Fedora and only FLOSS apps on your PC that’s great! Next that’s the turn of your phone, at the end you should use only FLOSS apps, first try to switch from FB messenger (switching to SimpleX), next don’t use spotify : cracked Spotify (not for privacy) or RiMusic for no-ads and privacy. For maps there’s no real great apps but maybe Organics Maps for navigation and GMaps WV to see the infos directly for maps but securely. For your bank, I have no real idea, you should remove it but if you can’t… Or you have others choice for your OS, maybe your banking app will work. You can useDivestOS or CalyxOS but for privacy in fact /e/OS is even better than Graphene (not for security, for privacy).

I’m sure talking about the 30days challenge from Raid Owl and I have an idea of his conclusion. First he’s a power user (not in the fact of tweaking and scratch in the file system), he needs a lot of stuff to work. And for someone outside of the traditional office work or maybe developing, Linux is hard to use for graphics works, so sure Linux Mint is not for this kind of people but you should always recommended it to “normal” people and beginner in Linux. Sure in this case his conclusion is wrong, he should have used Fedora, Arch or OpenSUSE, but that’s it.

Who is he?

For sure! Personally I prefer using the app

Great for piracy!

Maybe but you’ve done the transition to Lemmy try to use a libre client

Maybe but not only, for phone I recommend an app that’s much more optimized for using on mobile

Bro why using Lemmy if it’s for using proprietary client? Voyager, Jerboa, you have others choice…

It’s very depending on which apk you want. If you only want the apk of one specific open source app, just check on fdroid or on their git (mostly on github). And if you want play store apps without installing Aurora store, just use ApkMirror (their apks are mostly clean, cleaner than Apkpure in any case…).

First, you use Lemmy, that’s great. But pls use a client without ads…

I agree for Cromite, but maybe you should double check Mulch? On fdroid it is said only armeabi-v7a…

EDIT : As seen on another comment maybe try to install Lineage, what’s the phone reference?

First buy a new phone.

Nah, just kidding 😂 maybe you should check Cromite (Bromite fork) https://github.com/uazo/cromite/releases.

If Bromite supported old devices maybe Cromite does the same?

But for sure this one from DivestOS will work https://divestos.org/fdroid/official/Mulch-arm-126.0.6478.122-1.apk (Chromium version of Mull)

Meta train open llms, only big techs can train AI… Go pursuit OpenAI or Google and leave Meta (I’m really not a fan of Meta but their “open” AIs are great examples of good works) do their work!

If you were no aware of this post that’s OK. But it’s just a repost, no interest.

Why did you repost this? https://lemmy.world/post/16108828

No

I would like to thank him for everything, just thx ❤️ RIP

This thing is really scary, any other articles?
