I tweaked several settings in the OS.

Under Mobile Data for the app I allowed “background data” and “unrestricted mobile data usage”

And under battery “unrestricted” and “allow background usage”.

After all that I can’t keep the app running. 🤷

I tried this a couple of months ago. The app will not stay running in the background on Android.

Not running, not scanning.

I use main, that’s it. No second profile, no private space.

Nearly all apps installed respect my privacy. Two apps installed that aren’t great for privacy. They stay disabled until I need them, then they get disabled again.

Now, if I had a Google, Facebook, etc accounts, those would be in their own profiles.

But reading and looking at the instructions is basic knowledge for an engineer.

The bootloader can be unlocked, doesn’t clarify if it can be relocked. An unlocked bootloader is a security problem.

We have no information about the degoogled OS. What happens when an app needs Google Play Services? Does the OS have a Sandboxed version or microG?

The project is too short on details for me to give an informed opinion.

At my job, I assemble display items (bicycles, BBQs, lawn mowers, log splitters, etc). Been doing this for 8 years. So far, two customers tried to assemble their BBQs but couldn’t. Both claimed to be engineers. It’s not that difficult if one reads the instructions.

That greatly depends on the phone and app used for note taking.

The car is a 2014. Not internet connected but still has a black box.

I’ve been playing local mp3 for decades. Along came streaming but I didn’t see a reason to switch.

My laptop is a 2017 T-470 Thinkpad running Fedora44. Old machine, new software.

I use Syncthing and external hard drives instead of cloud storage.

I don’t own a TV.

Not a single smart appliance in the house.

I don’t hate it but I also refuse to use it. I’m dumb enough without surrendering my thinking to a klanker.

There is also the environmental cost and enshittification of neighbourhoods.

I’ve unsubscribed from several youtubers who use it.

RSS is probably my favourite way to consume information so when I find out a feed uses AI to write or research I delete them pretty quickly.

Edit: corrected two early morning mistakes.

Could be the anonymous account is being blocked. Log out and log back in.

Every time I see someone post about Aurora, I check and it always loads for me.

Front ends get blocked, it’s just the way it is.

For me, $100 and up aren’t very useful. Some stores in Canada want to see photo ID in order to spend larger denominations.

My kind of people, cash is king.

I sometimes use cruise control in the car.

Considering the driverless car doesn’t yet exist, I’ll go with human operated.

This is good to know. If I become a gamer, I’ll have to check it out. Thanks.
