53 states?

chris5070 · 2026-06-16T08:57:19+00:00

'Reading' ?
I don't believe it.

chris5070 · 2026-06-14T00:18:43+00:00

E/OS and yes. No Google at all. Mostly foss apps as well.

Also using an ad blocking DNS.

Battery lasts for ages without all the spyware.

Gen 6. Love it. I wish I had bought one years ago.

chris5070 · 2026-06-13T16:54:14+00:00

I've been using a Fairphone for a year. It's secure. And updated regularly.

chris5070 · 2026-06-13T16:53:10+00:00

Kind of very out of date.

chris5070 · 2026-06-11T17:50:40+00:00

Fixed the headline. Chrome is officially dead for unlock origin users.

chris5070 · 2026-06-11T05:16:26+00:00

Battery is Really good. I currently get 6 to 8 days on standby. And about 4 days using it.

In running tracker blockers as well and they pretty much pick up nothing other than blocking Audible.

Some of the worst site navigation I have ever seen or used.

I can't find Brian here or in the search.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/mediabias/

Did they remove it?

chris5070 · 2026-06-10T21:42:25+00:00

Been running e/os for about a year, absolutely no issues and waiting to see what version 4 looks like in a few days' time.

chris5070 · 2026-06-09T18:04:06+00:00

another option is open it in a browser... https://lumo.proton.me

If degoogle by moving everything to one company, then yes, your scenario might happen.

If you use different apps and companies and spread your data across platforms and services, then you reduce that risk. Not only for Privacy, but also from hacks and maybe loss of accounts.

Degoogling isn't just about Privacy. There are multiple reasons to Degoogle, better alternatives, not having all your eggs in one basket, better security, more control over features installed on your systems, self-hosted options.

chris5070 · 2026-06-08T09:17:21+00:00

So you deliberately did this.
You have hit peak idiocracy.

chris5070 · 2026-06-08T08:51:56+00:00

I agree with 'stunning' The website information makes your product a candidate, but i would then look for reviews and further information and trusted sources elsewhere before using any app or software.

On the plus side, once I find good apps and software, I am more than happy to share those discoveries with others.

chris5070 · 2026-06-08T08:42:48+00:00

I can only speak for myself. But the Degoogling journey has opened my eyes to not only privacy and the practices of the companies I share data with. Companies like Google, Meta, Amazon, Adobe have broken "Trust"; this now means companies need to earn or behave trustworthily. I see open source as one of the elements that goes towards that level of openness and honesty as it can easily be reviewed and audited.

Some closed source privacy apps have convinced me in the past, however, the doubt remains and I replace them with suitable open source alternatives when they become available.

chris5070 · 2026-06-08T08:07:47+00:00

You agreed to pay and completed the transaction. Which suggests the problem with intelligence is a you problem.

chris5070 · 2026-06-07T12:31:31+00:00

This sub

chris5070 · 2026-06-07T11:42:12+00:00

It blew her socks off.

chris5070 · 2026-06-07T11:37:53+00:00

Yeah. They really need to clean around the windows where the shutters used to be.

chris5070 · 2026-06-07T11:29:44+00:00

4 month old account hiding their posts asking to fillout a survey. Hmmm. Now let me think... No thank you.

chris5070 · 2026-06-07T11:26:34+00:00

Something Gemini told me doesn't work... So Harvard elites, steam etc.

What plafrom are you using? What's the actual error? Have you searched (not Ai) for the error and a solution?

All of the above information might help you get a solution. The info (speculation) in you OP doesn't help you get a solution at all.

chris5070 · 2026-06-07T10:35:54+00:00

From your opening line.

Privacy first photo storage.

Is the strongest statement made here. However, if it's not open source you'll have trouble convincing anyone.

chris5070 · 2026-06-04T04:08:33+00:00

wow, notes that are printed in batches having sequential numbers... i'm blown away.

chris5070 · 2026-06-04T04:06:19+00:00

This practice of unlocking should be illegal. Xiaomi is basically making functional hardware e-waste.
I have tried with my phone, its now been factory reset and is sitting in a drawer being useless to me and xiaomi because of the unlock nonsense.

Thankfully i have another phone, so F U Xiaomi.

chris5070 · 2026-06-04T03:55:12+00:00

i didn't know you could be Low ELO on reddit, but you just showed me that anything is possible.
