I read “left” as his other daughter being dead 👀

That’s just one of the dumbest reasons to sue Apple…

I did not meant fully degoogled androids! Sorry for the confusion. But most people running custom ROMs add Google play support/emulation because most apps use it.

As for microG, since I’m coming from GrapheneOS, I don’t know much about it. Might be a better solution

iOS has a nice default set of privacy respecting apps. iOS isn’t perfect but it’s as close as you can get to having a usable phone while having some sort of privacy.

Android always sends requests to Google. A de-googled phone with no Play Services is too limiting.

The illusion of choice

A lot of “normal” dating apps are also owned by the same companies

Use Signal or SimpleX for more private stuff like this 👀

The comic post is still shown as it wasn’t viewed, indicated by it’s white title rather than gray title

Because it wasn’t seen. As you can see, the texted isn’t gray, but white

I believe the algorithm skips already seen posts so that you don’t see them again, whether this is on or off

Not audited sadly

Reddit hides posts you’ve already viewed

Again, just relatively common sense.

Postfix etc… isn’t that hard to run. I selfhost a mailcow installation, which is considered “full” and “expensive to run” and it’s still really fine to run. Not expensive when scaling up to multiple users, the most important is the initial performance cost per instance.

We’re mostly paying for salaries and R&D I believe. They’re developing other services and stuff, but they could easily charge less and still be profitable, they just wouldn’t have this much reserves.

Perhaps they don’t realise that by lowering their subscription costs, they could get more users… like me

Source? Afaik there’s no backdoor in their cryptography, except maybe if using the cloud to back up your chats?

as unsupported for the free plan… So I’m quite surprised

Haven’t done it myself yet! I’m planning to switch to Linux Mint later this year, and have a dual boot with Windows on the side, so I can switch at any time if needed.

I think it has a built-in dual boot feature:

I advise backing up your harddrive and stuff to prevent problems, or having one for Windows and the other one for Linux so you avoid problems. Credits here: https://opensource.com/article/18/5/dual-boot-linux#Ubuntu

I have no experience with this yet, always double verify! I think Mint uses GRUB

Arch linux also has a more in depth post on this

For sure, but the lack of feature to reply/send is certainly limiting after a certain point

Addy is nice but sometimes blocked, and a bit expensive.

Oh nice! I felt like website did a bad job at explaining what it is and how it works

Like, it doesn’t say if it uses one of their servers or if the two devices should be up at the same time. If so, that’s really unfortunate

Sure but they probably make more than enough money. Email is really cheap to run

Platform developers, including those who build custom ROMs, will largely also see little change, since they typically base their work on specific tags or release branches, not the main AOSP branch. Similarly, companies that release forked AOSP products rarely use the main AOSP branch due to its inherent instability.
