Yeah I got the libra colour and it's really great for the buttons. Didn't really care about the colour part but the regular one was out of stock when I got it so I just went with it and I'm finding I enjoy it a lot. Especially when I read picture books for mt kid's bedtime

Only way you believe this is if you're extremely priviledge so that politics don't impact your life or ignorant about the fact that it does.

Do yourself a favour, switch to Kobo or a third party ereader... Especially if you're not in the US.

Yeah, people like me and I assume you, who used to browse reddit via a third party app or with RES + an adblocker on pc did not see it but it's a bit insane how much ads there's already on reddit right now. I migrated to GNU and firefox last week and forgot to add the extensions as I was just looking for some information in the Endeavour subreddit and I was shocked at the state of "default" reddit.... I'm glad I left and I hope most of the userbase will...

Ah damn... What's good then? I'm not too far in my setup that I can't make a switch again.

And yeah you're right, Google domain is squarespace but my whole setup is using their tools and I also want to move everything out of the usa, preferably to Canada as I'm Canadian but I'll settle for Europe when nothing is available here.

I started last week. Been contemplating doing it for a while and this whole disgusting series of events pushed me over the edge.

Cancelled every paying google services I had and I've been replacing their apps with alternatives slowly but surely.

For now it looks like this on my phone

• Tidal replaces youtube music
• Tom Tom replaced Waze unless I find something better
• Back to using firefox instead of chrome with google / Facebook tracking blocking extensions and more
• Got a proton mail and in the process of moving everything that matters to it

Only thing I would love that I can't get right now is an alternative OS for my phone that I don't have to tinker a lot with, I know rhey exist but everything I read on the subject basically says: don't bother. Setting up Endeavour OS on my laptop is already a lot of work for a 42 year old Linux noob like me, even though it's far from the most complicated distro from what I understand....

I also set another launcher on my smart tv, deactivated all the google accounts that I could and I'm in the process of setting up a plex server on my laptop which I'll fill with loot from the High Seas. It's really stupid of them because I was fine paying for the convenience of streaming but now I'm gonna make a point of not doing it and I'll probably never gonna come back.

Next, I need to figure out how to migrate my website / domain out of google but that's a next week problem. By the end of the winter, I should be properly google / Microsoft free.

It's a harsh process I'm not gonna lie but it is very rewarding even though, I don't lie to myself about the fact that it's just another drop in the bucket and it's not gonna change much in the end but at least I live better with myself by doing it.

Haha, I want a t-shirt that says : Stay mad about the poutine tarrifs 😂

I 100% see the commercial aspect. Crazy fucking thing, you can do both at the same time!

Tell me you don't know about rap without telling me

Ah lol it's Erika Lust. It's a sex positive porn company so that's not super strange actually 😅

Oh nice, tysm

It was installed on my Galaxy S21 Ultra, I think it was pushed with the latest "security" update that went through this week for me. No information abouy it in the update or notice anywhere or anything. Uninstalled that thing immediately.

Found it in Canada on my phone in Canada
