Yeah I’m trying to go Google-less on my phone (I’ll still use Youtube and such on my tablet), but I didn’t really think about all that’s synced with Google. I’m testing different solutions, but I haven’t found a solution for all of it, thanks for the suggestions!
I wasn’t able to find those settings. It’s also not for installing new apps, but more for updates. You’ll have to check for updates manually because of it. It also wasn’t for the Play Store, but for F-Droid and such. I do think I’ll install it again at some point, but I do use some Google services like the photo’s backup and app backup. If I can find alternatives for that I will try it again.
I also like it, but installing apps takes such a long time and auto updates don’t always work. When you open aurora store or f-droid you’ll get a dialog to allow an app to install. Battery drain was also higher than on stock. Not sure why that is, even without Google apps.
Isn’t that labels thing the same as using the + in Gmail? You can use myname+spam@gmail.com to register somewhere, and if you receive anything else on that email address you’ll know they shared your email address.
So basically they had enough examples to learn from, but completely ignored it and do the same?
On the other hand, if you buy something, check what you’re buying. Don’t complain if you don’t even know what you’re buying.
Debian does use systemd, but what’s so bad about it? I’m just curious, I’m using Arch with KDE, and that also uses systemd. Never had any issues with it. Debian doesn’t use snap by default though.
It’s a great distro to learn a lot about Linux. I challenged myself to install it on my Surface Go 2, and make it usable as a tablet, as well as make it boot with secure boot and more. Now it’s happily running Arch with KDE, using the linux-surface kernel signed with my own secure boot key and a pacman hook that signs that kernel after every update. I learned all of this acompanied by a lot of fuckups and reinstalls, until I was able to fix things after breaking them instead of starting from scratch.
I hope they’ll ever fix the backspace issue for the on screen keyboard.
Isn’t it more like they want to release it with a new phone release? The beta is very stable to my experience. I’ve been using it since beta 3.
There still are operators that don’t support esim, like the one I’m on.
Don’t they already have a solution for that? Not sure about Android but I remember FaceTime having an option to make it look like you’re looking into the camera instead of down to the center.
That’s probably because you’re not using Spotify. I’ve been using Spotify using the family subscription of a friend of mine, and the recommendations are pretty good. Still not as good as they were on Apple Music, but hey, it’s free for me.
Isn’t that because Opera is Chromium based?
It’s because most banks support Google Pay instead of using their own app. It’s perfectly possible for banks to not use Google Pay. A few banks here don’t support Google Pay, instead you have to download their app to use nfc payments.
