On my chromecast i have Google and Google Assistant disabled. I also have Projectivy launcher. I want to know how to degoogle it further, i am too scared to disable google play services because i don’t have aurora store here. I also replaced Gboard with a open source alternative. Any ideas?
What alternatives are there for Google Wallet/Google Pay? If they are OpenSource better.
Hi all! I’m looking for a service where I can port my phone number, and then make and receive phone calls and SMS, all over data, not cell service. My particular use case is that I live in Germany, but I still have a US phone number, and occasionally need to receive SMSes or phone calls on that number....
I hope this is not considered a low-effort post, but I wanted to ask if using stock Android without signing in to your Google account/ using Play Store is worth it. It should be more private, right? I’m planning on buying the cheapest Samsung phone there is (probably the A14). I currently have a stock Android Oneplus phone. I...
If I only wanted to degoogle and disable other manufacturer’s bloatware from my Android device, is using adb to “uninstall” the system apps from user 0 pretty much as effective as rooting and using something like debloat terminal while rooted or are there bypasses that make rooting the better option? I’m not concerned...
Hello lemmy!! I want to degoogle but have a few issues. My main Google uses are drive and docs. Both of which are primarily for school reasons. I need access to easy cloud saved document editing for school. And drive for saving notes and PowerPoint etc. My school offers office 365 but I would rather not go from one shit stain to...
Hello everyone....
Hi, I am often in unfamiliar locations because of what I do for work and I’m having trouble finding ways to search for businesses that are close by. I’m kind of embarrassed to say that I’ve let myself become pretty dependent, over many years of phone use now, to just use google maps to search for pretty much everything…...
Hey everyone. Does anyone know of a good alternative to Google Flights other than like Expedia, Kayak, etc? Bonus points if they have an API too
WTF is this? Is this appropriate for anybody? I’m usually okay with a dumb ad here and there but this ridiculous.
Recently made the switch to Graphene and am trying to get my main email away from outlook.com...
My pixel 5 is currently running on grapheneOS and will be unsupported soon so I’m looking to switch over to CalyxOS for an extended support. Are there any other deGoogled OS’s you guys recommend?

I have been hesitant to add my card because of privacy. I particular the fact that my card is linked to my email. What is your take on it?
is there another twitter app out there that still works apart from the official app ?
I have degoogled myself when it comes to email, running self-hosted email & calendar (not my own server). Did it two years ago, and up to now it has worked very well. I don’t miss anything from Gmail and have all the features it offered, plus some extra ones (like deleting email attachments via an email client – Gmail never...
For those of us running GrapheneOS, Beware that the latest update to the Target store app for Android requires Google Services Framework (GSF) and does not work properly on GrapheneOS, even, apparently, with the compatibility layer enabled....

I though about installing leneageOS on it, but it’s not on the supported device, but similar Motorola’s are supported, what do recommend to do?

Do free alternatives for Google Translate Lens (translating photos / live text translation via camera) exist? I tried Microsoft’s, but hated it....
Has anyone used it? What was your experience with install/performance? I’m thinking of getting one because it has decent specs for $250. I don’t need banking apps or anything like that, and the only social media app I need is snapchat (I know that sort of defeats the purpose, but I just want better privacy, not perfect).
I have a samsung A22 which is not supported by any of the foss roms i would like to try, so i started to debloat my phone and logout from google, removing as much propietary software as i can from my phone and replacing by foss alternatives. The only thintg i didnt manage to do is removing google services as i live in a country...
