Their delayed implementation of this has definitely affected my confidence in them. I was very close to considering Apple before that, but when someone shows you their true colours, believe them :).

I tried it on pinephone and laptop. Both had 2 different updates break the OS. Both needed to be reinstalled each time.

Not worth it. Poor quality. Go arch or OpenSuse.

Now on GrapheneOS on the Pixel 6a. One of the best decisions I made :)

I use KDE now, but Cinnamon was my first and made the transition beautiful. It's a great DE.

I use DDG. I read here that start page had been taken over by an advertising company, and Brave always felt dodgy from day 1, weird crypto stuff ~~and I think the owners previous company may have sold users data~~.

I think DDG is the best we have right now.

I haven't really needed to yet, but I think I'd probably look for OSmand (sp?) on F-droid. It uses Open Street Maps.

Edit: seems they have a few anti features. Maybe I'd just use browser and apple maps in a bind.

Yes, I have a Pixel 6a, and have installed GrapheneOS on it. It does what I need and I enjoy the extra privacy. Would recommend.

Fair enough. I considered it. Their scanning of people's clouds shattered the illusion of privacy for me and I just couldn't. Probably far better than google, but I'm not sure I personally could class it as good.

Interesting. Does it impact much on your use cases, or are you not fussed with those apps?

[–] CrypticCoffee@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Matrix and Element work. It has apps for desktop IOS and Android. Can have multiple channels for different topics. Not quite slack level of workspace management, but it's an option.

In the UK, banking apps are optional, I can use website in browser.

With GrapheneOS, you can install Play apps sandboxed and with dummied google apps and control how much of the file system they can see etc.

I would assume outlook has a web client. Not sure what InTune is so cannot comment.

I've been happy with it on Pixel 6a. It feels good to know my phone isn't spying on every little thing I do.
