N4CHEM, to privacy in Next smartphone I buy, which one do you recommend?

I use a phone holder and my phone sits there with my maps app showing me the navigation.

N4CHEM, to privacy in Next smartphone I buy, which one do you recommend?

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

N4CHEM, to privacy in Deciding between Fairphone 5 and Pixel 8

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.

N4CHEM, to privacy in Chromite - Any sensible reviews?

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.

N4CHEM, to askscience in Is there an insect that can devour plastic, breaking it down to less harmful components?

Gluten is a protein, nobody would call it a plastic

N4CHEM, to android in Does Google Inserting Deceptively Placed Ads in the Play Store seem icky to anyone else?

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

N4CHEM, to android in Does Google Inserting Deceptively Placed Ads in the Play Store seem icky to anyone else?

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.

N4CHEM, to android in If the fairphone good for privacy/degoogling?

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.

N4CHEM, to android in If the fairphone good for privacy/degoogling?

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

N4CHEM, to android in If the fairphone good for privacy/degoogling?

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.

N4CHEM, to memes in This is literally the internet nowadays without an adblock

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 [email protected] suggested, or this other one f-droid.org/packages/org.moire.opensudoku/ or this other one f-droid.org/…/org.secuso.privacyfriendlysudoku/

N4CHEM, to fdroid in ANC headphones/earbuds that require no proprietary apps?

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.

N4CHEM, to privacyguides in WhatsApp is Censoring your Photos, Videos, Status and DMs (Facebook)

Basically the same thing I replied to this same post shared on [email protected]. This 2.5 years old video proves nothing, I don’t trust Facebook nor Meta, but this is a poor quality post.

N4CHEM, to privacy in WhatsApp is Censoring your Photos, Videos, Status and DMs (Facebook)

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.
