I wonder how they silently get away with this. In Europe we just had a €4.1 billion fine. How is this any different and not violating open markets? Google even claimed that “Android users were free to download rival apps”. Every Android smartphone sold around here comes with all the google crap preinstalled, now locking users in when they want to install apps outside their own appstore.

Linux Mint has a Debian version called LMDE :D running this on an old laptop, everything’s fine.

I really like Auxio.

Thanks for the inside! Yakuake looks interesting.

Yeah, I already do that, much faster under Mint (Debian).

Thanks! I’ll get into that. But how is moving/deleting files faster or better in the terminal? Isn’t it easier to just right click and move/delete?

I’d like to use the terminal more often. What’s faster or better using the terminal?

Yes it is. But WhatsApp encryption is a joke. Whenever someone is doing a backup with WhatsApp inbuilt backupplan all messages are stored unencrypted in the google cloud by default (WhatsApp and Google have everything in clear text). You can make encrypted backups but they give you a very long key with a warning so nobody does that! When you chat with someone on WhatsApp you can’t see that. I don’t use SMS for sensitive stuff but thinking WhatsApp is secure and E2E is a joke.

No, its replaceable. Just delete it, somebody has to make the step. I told my friends and family they can reach me at signal, call me or just send an SMS. I don’t want to judge but it is easier than you may think.

How do you get updates when installing via adb?

Do not buy the iPhone, your penis will shrink.

Its not about security for google, its about to have more control over their platform. They saw apple got away with their policies about sideloading here in Europe (which is still a pain in the ass) so they thought why not have it in android.

Yes, all custom ROMs without Play Protect won’t be affected.

Where I live I can get cash at the supermarket. They scan my card and handle cash right from the cash box, I’ve never seen them scanning the money before they give it out. I think cash is still the best option for private payment in day to day life scenarios.

Why not install LineageOS on your S20?

Go ahead and contribute places you are missing to openstreetmaps.

So happy to have deleted all meta apps including whatsapp!

CoMaps, formerly known as Organic Maps.

Why would you want to do that? Do not change anything as the idea is that all users use the same Tor as it is.
