That's a real shame, I used a number of their apps. Still looking for a good replacement for Simple Calendar Pro with a decent customizable widget and CalDAV support. I tried Etar and it just wasn't the same. I guess I can use the last f-droid version for now.

Anyone thinking either of those operating systems are a suitable solution for mobile computing don't have a fully developed brain. If you can't compile at least a new kernel for your own phone, it's not your phone. If you can't disable all telemetry, it's not your phone. If you can't stop emergency services from forcing your phone from sending geo location data, it's not your phone.

No, what these teens have -- Android or iOS -- is a voluntary spy device. It would be hilarious if it were revealed in 50 years that the i actually stands for "eye", instead of I, and was invented by the CIA.

It's not just teens. You should see how many grown ass adults engage in this fanboyism. Women even post online about refusing to date men with an Android phone. This is all really just a manufactured social media marketing campaign. It's not new, my niece has been informing me for years how uncool my Android phone is, but it's in high gear right now because the new Apple and Android flagship phones are coming out next month.

Battery Guru was permanently removed from Play Store by [deleted] in Android

[–]Drewski 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Battery Guru has been criticized for its perceived excessive ad display and expensive subscription plans. However, it's important to note that Battery Guru actually shows fewer ads compared to other free apps on the Play Store. Furthermore, the availability of a 24-hour ad-free subscription option demonstrates the developer's commitment to enhancing user experience.

I'm not using any app that isn't open source, let alone one that has ads or a subscription.

That's pretty cool for someone who lives in a wifi-filled bubble, honestly.

You can communicate wherever you have an internet connection; you can ditch your SIM and depend on Wi-Fi instead.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call the rub

It's really easy. I have a Poco X3 and flashed ArrowOS. If it fucks up you can just flash it back to stock firmware. XDA has communities so you can find support there from users that use the same phone.

idk dude, i don't think you can get off the hook from big-timers like google and nsa that easily. (not that they'd care)

but in case you want to, purchase chinese products. they're the only supply chain that's independent enough to get off the hook from entities that powerful.

edit: obviously there's drawback to that method.

"Just a reminder to all the fedi bros that Google took Spinster’s app down a year ago, citing the exact same bullshit reason that they are now using to target Subway Tooter, Husky, and Fedliab. And none of you had shit to say about it then.

You watched. You let it happen. Many of your cheered. Many of you actively campaigned for exactly this.

We remember how you sided with Big Tech when it suited your need to shut women up. We know all your talk of “freedom” only extends as far as you can swing your dick.

I do not support Google targeting Fediverse apps. But I also know that the Fediverse paved the way for this to happen the moment they sided with Big Tech over one of their own."
