2 days ago I moved from GrapheneOS back to Stock Pixel in my 8 Pro, just to see what all the hype about the new android 16 in Pixel is about. Jesus, this is way worse than I remember. i tried it for 2 whole days, and that shit just won't allow me to have ANY control over my phone. It's fucking ridiculous. On Android 15 I was able to uninstall Google Drive, Meet, Youtube, and many other Google apps, this time around all it would allow was "disable". What's next, removing the ability to disable (which I don't trust anyway)?
Fast forward to today, I'm back on GOS, and my anxiety levels are down again. This shit is insane, and I honestly can't understand why anyone would put up with this crap.
You're right, I assumed you were the OP, and that's squarely on me. The cats still remain. Most of the suggestions here will be impossible to find via streamline means, as this is not a streamline network, and much less a "normie" channel.
Have you tried searching instead of coming straight to a group of nerds focused on privacy and crying about something not being in the Play Store, which many of us avoid like the plague?
I'm in a similar place with books and comics. Of course, nowhere near the Jupiter size collection of media you have, but easily 2.5TB+ of just books and comics.
My wife, my kids and I are all avid readers, so we are always sharing some book or comic arc. We're all rerunning all of Lobo's arcs, it was Deadpool a couple of weeks ago (that should tell you all anyone needs to know about our family 😜)
This is a very effective workaround, and I am absolutely going to take this for a spin. I'm currently using LinkWarden with extensions in my browsers and the app in Android. However, the fact is that most people will want easy integration between devices, and this may turn out to be the one thing that keeps more users from adopting your software.
Having said that, thank you. People like you are the drivers of innovation.
I'm not waiting for that shit to happen. I just moved over to headscale and am done with tails ale. They will enshitify, it's a matter of when, not "if".
Eso es correctísimo. I don't want ANY AI in my servers looking for anything, regardless of if they are crawlers or if it's on behalf of some lazy fuck.
I drive a BYD Han, and I get to choose if lane keep or lane assist are enabled when using cruise control.
In all honesty, in 2 and a half years with the car, it's been flawless with lane keep and lane assist. However, I only use them in the freeway. Don't trust the tech enough to not crash me sideways in the city.
Please do stay on GOS. I already suffered for 2 days for the whole community.
