100% agree with that. Now, all we need to do is come to a consensus on what those things are and how to eliminate them with as little "acceptable losses" as possible.

Thank Professor X, but I choose how I open my debates and discussions and you choose if you want to participate or not. The same applies to everyone else. Freedom of speech does not apply only to the woke.

Having said that, let's get this party started.

I welcome the challenge of meeting every kind of people. With you, honestly, it was fun, and from the get-go I was aware that we would just get along at some point.

I'm very sorry to read about your injury man. I've been battling my own demons lately, with some very traumatic experiences I went through about 2 years ago. I forgave the people that caused the emotional and mental damage, but just this morning I woke up sweating and hyperventilating at 5am and could not go back to bed. Freaking nightmare of that crap had me relive the situation all over again.

I guess that's what makes us human. And people here, open your mind to what could be. Yes, this guy comes across as an asshole at first, don't I know, but once you see beyond that defense wall, not only is he super cool, but a great conversation partner, specially when there are opposite views on each side. Pretty insightful that's been my experience with him. And yes, he is very passionate about his beliefs, and more people should be like that instead of just following the flow.

I'm still around but, as long as my wife and kids allow me to 🤣

So evil.

What is this "battery" thing you speak of?

It already is, but normies are not aware of that yet.

Ah, the luxurious distro-hopping wagon 🤤

Yeah, now go crazy trying shit you probably should not be trying. From my perspective, that's the best perk of any Linux distro. Evidently, backup first.

What I do is get it from a brick and mortar store, like Best Buy, or even order from them. I'll avoid buying from Google directly like the plague. I am aware they share some information, but just not paying Google directly feels good to me.

And about their customer service, honor where honor is due, they are awesome at that. When I was leaving Fi, not even a single attempt to keep me there, no questions, just a fully helpful individual helping me port out.

Agreed. I have a lot of homework to do before I even know which way to leap to.

Thanks so much. Now I have another way to avoid my family this weekend 🤣🤣

Fucking genius 🤣🤣

I'm basically running all my self-hosted services over CF tunnels. Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to this? I'd like to remove CF from my life, but not at the expense of poking port holes in my FW.

Why are so many people so fast to downvote over a misconception? GOS does not include any Google anything, it does allow to install, but it is the most bare ROM out there in terms of pre-installed stuff, for sure.

I am not defending "MacCock" and his goons in any way, shape or form, I believe they are all certifiable, but misconceptions don't help anyone either, which is why I chose to clarify this.

Oh, it is 🤣

Hey man, nice to see you raising hell again. How've you been? Haven't seen you in a bit.

BTW, I followed most of your guide, and my phone battery is lasting me upwards of 5 hours of screen on time since I applied your secret sauce. Never mind the ridiculously low data usage.

And if anyone here is wondering, @TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmygrad.ml and I don't see eye to eye 100%, and we started our conversations sort of being pricks to one another, until we started to finally get along. He does have some very valid insights and knowledge for privacy and security on Android devices and most with solid evidence, which raises the bar on trust. Having said that, regardless of how you choose to take his posts, I do urge you to at least consider his points. I've found them invaluable.

Basically because Daniel "MacCock" behaves like a massive paranoid schizophrenic prick when he doesn't take very strong meds (that's my take on it anyway). And as others have mentioned, his claim to have stepped down is just that, "his claim". Everything points to him still very much being at the help of the project.

I like the project, but any software I use being directed by someone like that guy is a huge red flag.

About the warranty on your device, just wait for it to expire. After so much time using Google, keeping the account alive for whatever you need for a bit longer won't really make a difference.

What I would do is just keep it and not use it for anything other than what I REALLY need it for.
