I'm interested in reading about those. Dou you have a link or a list of some of those issues?

With the Fairphone (...) the ROM options are CalyxOS and /e/OS

Don't sleep on DivestOS and iodéOS. There's more OS options for the FairPhone.

As @netchami said, Bromite hasn't been updated in months, it shouldn't be used. Cromite is a proper successor forked by one of the contributors of Bromite.

It had problems with the rate limited accounts for the last months, but I think they're fixed now. I haven't had any problem in the last weeks. If you keep getting these messages I'd recommend clearing app data and starting a new anonymous login session.

$1 would be overpriced

makes me want to increase the F-Droid alternatives that I use

Just go this way, and if you're fed up with the Play Store switch to Aurora Store: same apps, no ads.

Year One. I can't stand Jack Black nor Michael Cera after wasting 90 minutes of my life watching that trash.

As far as I know, this OS is no longer available in the newer models FairPhone 4 and FairPhone 5. However there are other degoogled options for these models, off the top of my head: LineageOS, CalyxOS, iodéOS and /e/OS.

You can also but a FairPhone with iodéOS already installed in it, not from the FairPhone store, though, but from the iodé one.

The FairPhone comes with stock Android, but you can easily unlock the bootloader and install a different ROM. Some that I know are available for the FairPhone 4 are LineageOS, CalyxOS, iodéOS and /e/OS. With all of these you can achieve a certain level of degoogling and privacy.

Many people will recommend you GrapheneOS, which is unfortunately only available on Google Pixel devices.

Simple games don't need internet access. Can't you block network connection for that app?

A better option even is getting something like what BurnedOliveTree@lemmy.world suggested, or this other one https://f-droid.org/packages/org.moire.opensudoku/ or this other one https://f-droid.org/packages/org.secuso.privacyfriendlysudoku/

Soundcore Q20 and Q30 have a physical button with no need for an app, I don't know if their newer models are still like this. The Q30 also have a proprietary app to configure some things (like EQ), however a big plus here is the existence of an open source app on IzzyOnDroid's repo that can also do this.

Basically the same thing I replied to this same post shared on privacy@lemmy.ml. This 2.5 years old video proves nothing, I don't trust Facebook nor Meta, but this is a poor quality post.

This doesn't prove much. I don't trust Facebook nor Meta, but it could be a problem with that file, the formatting, encoding... that fails on WhatsApp. We need more proof.

Perfect answer. It is hosted in Gitlab, but i'm not sure you can download an APK there.

And even better: Mull (based on Firefox) + uBlock Origin

I don't believe the small phone gang is small, we just have one option: a pretty expensive iPhone mini.

I want a small phone but not an iPhone, I have no option therefore manufactures assume I want a humongous phone. That's flawed logic.

I want a smaller smartphone but not an iPhone. It's sad that Apple is the only manufacturer still producing reasonable sized phones. Small phone gang unite and push for other manufacturers to follow Apple on this one!

Thank you. Yes, I cannot judge the app, but the post (and the screenshot of the video) look like low quality clickbait. I would appreciate if we didn't go down that slope and stick to plain, objective information.

I meant the Lemmy post. Don't apologise, I see that my comment was not very clear.

I know that's how many people share things, but it's not (yet) common in software communities. If I am introducing a new app I will write a description of what it does, add links to its website, source code, developer's site... and finally a video if I have one.

I haven't checked the video, but the screenshot that accompanies this post (We made a better Revanced!) looks like low quality clickbait too.
