Yeah they mean swiss german because it's not understandable to common hochdeutsch speaker whereas the french has barely any difference. Don't know about the rest (italian?).
This feels like my Philips. It has gotten so damn slow lately.
I thought I had partially cleaned the system and yesterday I did a check and removed 25 apps thanks to adb. 25. I could not remove them from the TV setttings. Most of it was co.uk.freeview shit... was it there on my previous cleanup? Doubt. Did I install that? No.
You are wrong on that: It would be a start to solving the issue! Every little step forward counts.
As for 1000 apps replacing website, I could not agree more... In addition you get much better control on a website like adblocks and javascript control.
I would say it's a step by step work. I have moved my family from Whatsapp to Signal years ago and then to Matrix. I forced them in some way but I just said "sorry if you want to keep contact we will have to find another app, I don't accept Whatsapp ToS." It took some time but my close family and friends are there and I regularly get someone to join, friend or family. It's still close circle but it's also a good thing.
Same went with work. Colleagues wanted to do a whatsapp group for a project and I basically said "No, best I can do is Signal." and they went with it.
Well done.
