It is sad, but through the events of the last few years (Reddit, Twitter, politics) companies have realized they can do whatever they want. While they will lose a significant portion of users, the mass majority will stay. The ones that leave are the ones they can’t abuse and they don’t want them anyway. Profit is better taking advantage of the complacent and losing the activists than the other way around.
Anywho, I will move to Firefox just like I moved to lemmy. Although I’m not sure moving to Firefox actually fixes anything other than giving Google less money. Now I just need to figure out how to have a phone without apple or Google getting a peice.
google pixel 5 bought used, unlock the bootloader and flash it with grapheneOS. download Firefox with AdBlock and use fdroid and aurora store (found on fdroid) for apps.
I was just using it as an example because I just figured it out on my fridge (it’s useless). I was just trying to figure out if I would be going backwards 10 years if I switched, that was just the first thing that came to mind as an example.
No, you do you. I just don’t understand the engineers’ motivation for creating an IoT fridge.
From the creators of the IoT fridge comes the first IoT toilet, complete with a bowl camera and mic that stares up your ass and notifies your family when the bathroom is in use and whose taking a crap. You can even review your past shits in 4k! 😛
I could maybe see some uses for a fridge on wifi. The only useful things it does is notify me if the temp rises beyond a point or if the door is left open for a really long time. As far as the temp rising without the door open the only cause is either the fridge failed ( It better fucking not) or the power went out. If the power goes out, so does my router so…
sorry ik it’s months later. yes, things work for the most part. anything that doesn’t I just enable exploit protection compatibility mode for and it works no problem then. you can even just straight up install Google play as a normal app without admin privileges.
What really has me paranoid is all the ones suddenly deciding to power trip and give out bans over nothing. We need to create a safe place on the web where the corporations can’t get to us.
They remove any videos that being critical towards TikTok. Especially, they’re trying to flood Indonesian market with cheap Chinese goods via TikTok Shop.
Fairphone 4 from certain vendors comes preloaded with e/OS which is like a deGoogled Android. Might work for people looking to move away from Google. I’m considering it myself for my next phone.

Does it run all the android apps? Like, the one off apps for like my fridge, security cameras etc…?
No offense, but wtf does someone need an app for their fridge?
It’s obviously to know what your groceries are doing, while you aren’t looking.
Like Night at the Museum but for a refrigerator. There’s a movie in there somewhere.
Sausage party was that movie. And yes, it was as bad as it sounds.
Lol, should’ve guessed…

You can get yourself sandboxed Google Play Services and everything should work fine. Personally, I have a separate profile for apps that need it.

TikTok already did this in Indonesia.

Donate to Pinephone
Wouldn’t it be better to just buy a Pinephone?

Get an android phone that you can root with an OS.
I’m running a bacon right now!
I’ll soon upgrade to an oxygen(mi max 2) when mi unlock allows me to :(
GrapheneOS. Don’t use Firefox on Android

Security on Firefox for Android is a significant concern.
