But if you need to pay for a „Media Flatrate“ anyway, and you have those 5€ a month, why not spend it for a good cause?

(Also PIA and nord cost 12€ a month unless you sign their predatory 2 year contracts [which are even then just like 1€ per month cheaper], so mullvad is just way better in that regard too)

Also features like UDPoTCP let you bypass local network restrictions, and the ability to pay with cash and Crypto is great if you dont want want to/ cant use paypal or a bank account for any reason

Because of fucking course there is

Were talking about Jesusland after all

Be my guest, uninstall GPServices and see

Never had it installed in the first place.

All of your Points are either already answered by me, ad hominem, or random assumptions without data backing it up.

False.Graphene does not have Gservices installed by default

but it will always be far less aggressive about it than Google

Whataboutism. Browser advertises itself as privacy respecting, yet builds on a non Privacy respecting OS. If they really wanted to protect the user, they would be open source, (at least the methods of protecting the user from tracking) firefox based and availible for linux and Android FOSS, similar to everything else (Firefox, Molly, Signal, etc). My whole Comment was about how they advertise themselves as Private, yet fail to address the most basic privacy concerns, essentially being an oxymoron. This was not about „which OS is less evil“ but „why did they not opt for the not at all evil?“

Android also runs Google play services

False. AOSP does not have Gservices, and has enough forks for hardware (Linaege, Graphene, Calyx, /e/)

Both OS suck big time

See my point about AOSP.

I know the post was about Apple

So you just posted some random comment just because?

and I was pointing out that android is likely worse for privacy

Also false, see my Point about AOSP.

Still, it wouldn’t be in their interest to gather data

My sources say otherwise.. Apple has an interest in collecting your data.

What? You mean Android?

I know this is not really a thing where you come from, but here on lemmy we read the OPs text first before commenting, which also would have answered all your questions, but if you really need it: The Browser is based on Propriatery Apple Software and only runs on it

yep

Like, you want to actually contribute against fingerprinting? Make a repo with documentation on how you want to achieve it and publish a firefox fork as example.

If you want change in the software world, you have to make a blueprint everyone can use or at least get an idea and let them have the freedom of implementing it their own way

„We ArE sOOoO pRivAtE“

Based on closed source Webengine running on OS known for data collection™

kinky

Nope, only with other linux phone brands

PostmarketOS is like the name says for EoL devices, not brand new ones

1. Why the fuck do you want your 13 y o sister to look at this cesspit of protests and General politics?
2. You can just usw any instance, if shes too young she will be banned because they can guess it from her immature posts anyway, and if not no one will care.

It is too decentralised to be taken down, but in especially non tech circles Torrents are like Satan to your Christian aunt

But think of the children!!!

Because for the right, apparently saying porn or fuck or shit is bad for children, but people grooming the same children is fine.

But in all seriousness, being goomed by 2 people when I was not even 14 has done more damage to me than playing black ops 2 with all the graphic scenes on my Wii-U when I was 12, and trust me, in that game I have heard the word fuck more times than I could count back then

BTC is useful though.

Btc is not a reliable payment system. It is neither stable, nor is it in any way anonymous. So instead of being secure, you are quite literally a glass person

Or in better words: ever heard about Monero?

how to fully dump Windows and install LineageOS.

Are you fucking Moses? Then how the fuck did you manage to turn your Windows Machine into an android phone?

is the level of acrimony toward LLMs.

Good, since you apparantly arent able to use your brain, I’m gonna speed run it real quick:

• Its frying the planet
• its generating way to much slop, making anyone unable to find true non hallucinated information
• its a literal PsyOP
• it’s rotting peoples critical thinking
• its being shoved down everyone’s throat, tho it can’t even generate simple things.
• people are using it to slood FOSS projects.

such an emotional response with this crowd.

Its not emotional, its just having the same negative experience over and over and over again

It’s a tool that has gone from interesting (GPT3) to terrifying

The only thing that’s terrifying about it us peoples brain rotting away their critical thinking

mainly for the integrated graphics to use jellyfin’s hardware transcoding. Is the UHD 730 enough for that?)

My 4th gen Intel i5 can do that

No idea what to get for MB

You get the cheapest thing available with your socket that has at least 4 sata slots for migration

Server quality storage is extremely expensive, not sure if its worth buying.

Just get 2 WD blues

For case I saw some suggestion for cases with a ton of hotswappable drive bays

Or, you know, if you are making a whole post crying about your financial situation, maybe you can just move your ass and manually swap the HDDs.

PSU I want to get any gold PSU with low wattage from a reputable brand

If you want something energy efficient, why in gods name do you want to buy a desktop CPU?

16gb of any decent ram I suppose?

If you want to be fancy I guess, but my 25€ half dead optiplex that dosent even pass its own self test is currently running on 8 gigs of DDR 3 storage from different brands I got out of dumpsterdiving in a junkyard right before they threataned to call the police on me, and I live in goddamn Germany, so maybe make up your mind if you want to be crying about being poor or actively going out of your way to buy fancy Server Equipment I can only dream about in my setup.

it’s more or less just a new app

You know a reason why Linux with Steam runs just way better than win? Because they use game scope, therefore not needing to render and run all of the desktop.

So what does Microsoft do? They release a new app on top of the already bloated desktop.

They are trying to make this an ideology too?

For those who need an explanation; Its always The same:

1. you habe 2 products (EG. Communism and capitalism, Intel vs. AMD, nvidia vs AMD, Linux vs Windows)
2. one of these is just objectively better then The other, so it starts winning over people
3. The leader of the just objectively worse thing (EG Trump, Intel, Microsoft, nvidia (kinda) Start just yelling the same old „Dont thread on me you Woke DEI communists with your culture war” effectively turning the Objektive comparison into a simple culture war about ideology, effectively turning all those insecure fucks into deaf and blind wutbürgers.

And that’s what effectively happening right now. The pigeon has gotten the bad cards, so they just shit on the table and eat the pawns.

Its „adding” one?

So, in other words, they just promised that they can do double The r&d for The same funding.
