  • I guess I don't care that much at this point but I'm out as soon as I see the first ad.

  • Lemmy doesn't have this problem, but mastodon needs algorithms. Otherwise, discovery is more difficult and you must be around at the same time people of interest are either there or being boosted. People leave thinking it's boring.

  • They banned journalists? Who?

    And I didn't know about the redirects and tracking either. They are doing that without ads?

  • They may fail but we better not be bailing them out!

  • That's all the talk so far? It feels like a bad sign to me when power starts moving from the true believers to the VCs.

  • Unfortunately, style in the GUI means a lot these days. If you don't match what MacOS and Windows are doing, your software will look old and unappealing.

    Changing Firefox is risky because you can lose current users, but necessary if you want new people.

  • I've never seen that. How much memory do you have?

  • I really don't remember the last time Firefox crashed on me and I've been using it for many years

  • Me too

  • Interesting solution, but for the record, Should I Answer? doesn't block texts. It only affects calls.

  • Add all of your regular calls to contacts. Block any calls not coming from your contacts. See "Should I Answer?" app for example.

  • Other than security differences, is the interface just like on a Pixel? Can I still force dark mode on uncooperative apps like on Pixel? Is there still notification history? Screenshots/select on overview?

  • I'll drop Android before I drop F-Droid

  • Not encouraging to hear about crashes. I do use xDrip already. But my setup uses both xDrip and the Dexcom app.

    I'm willing to change a lot to keep Foss.

  • Most of my messaging is to family, and they are all on signal, but outside of family RCS of better than SMS.

    I am not degoogled but I'm pretty careful. Google apps are only in chrome and that's all that browser is used for. Ironfox is my main browser. I removed the advertiser Id on Android.

    But the majority of my apps are open source and I'm concerned about where Google ID going with side loading. This will be what forces my hand.

    I hope I can get my Dexcom working on gos.

  • I assume you did lose RCS and Wallet? Anything else?

  • +1 for Kvaesitso. It requires a different way of thinking but in the end it needs much less tinkering. I wouldn't return to Nova now even if it were open sourced.

  • I have no interest in anyone else's blocklist

  • I'll second that
