"Imagine browsing without trackers following you everywhere or your phone’s performance lagging because of ads. That's the kind of freedom GrapheneOS promises."
It's hard to take the sales pitch seriously after such disingenuous statements such as this. The OS itself doesn't serve ads, but rather the apps you install and the web pages you visit. As well, as soon as you browse the web or install one of your most loved popular apps, you're being tracked. For the average user, the one that wants to use the same apps on the gOS OS that they do on stock android, they will be faced with basically the same ads and the same tracking.
The graphene install docs is in your language and will walk you through the install process. Their support page points you to discord, telegram, matrix support channels as well.
As a general rule anyone that asks for a non-proprietary thing that will do everything their proprietary thing does without alternative solutions allowed is so far from the reality of non-proprietary software in a proprietary world that they can not be made happy so I'll leave the support of that to others.
I don't mean this flippantly but suicide is ok. The hard part in my mind is if you ou leave behind people that would be fucked up in your absence. That's the part I struggle with.
It's not Voyager's fault, Lemmy has always promoted dead and abandoned communties as "trending". The grouping is useless and can always be safely ignored.
I read the synopsis of the book(thanks for the link). I can see where a book like this wouldn't be appropriate for a 10yo but an entire school system ban seems an overreach.
It would be nice to ensure that as a parent, I was the one introducing topics to my child but having raised her already, I realize that unless I kept her at home her entire childhood, that's a pipe dream. I would have been ok with that book being at her school and if she had read it, she most likely would have talked to me about it as we had many candid conversations on sexuality, relationships and other topics that she came to be aware of via the internet, media or friends.
Can I ask why you can't let them talk their nonsense? I know you don't think you can change them so if you choose to hang out with them, why can't you just let them be them? I'm not telling you that you should hang out with them, just that joining in on their discussion is a zero sum game.
I chose not to interact with family any longer and haven't spoken to any of them in years. Not out of anger or spite but simply because none of us were getting anything positive from the relationship.
The John Doe profiles were set up in April as generic 24-year-old males
Does the fact that they only used dummy male accounts and didn't bother to find out what women are subjected to represent the authors' own misogyny? Perhaps The Guardian should look at cleaning it's own house up before finding dirt on others'.
Could you tell me what would be lacking? There's a surprising amount of bells and whistle s you can add to the setup. Check out bunsenlabs distro for an example.
I'm still able to manage blocking ads in all forms of media that I consume. No unintended shifting of timestamps.
