One word: F-Droid! I’m literally only searching there for Apps first, often I find it. Send them some love, if you can afford it! Wouldn’t know how to watch YouTube anymore without New Pipe and stuff, listening to music via ViMusic, all ad-free. f-droid.org/en/
Of course it’s valid. And the misuse of AI has to be fight. Nevertheless we have to think differently in the face of something we cannot stop in the long run.

I can’t complain about my financial situation (after 20 years of work) but I’m still breaking and looking at stuff on the streets. All that new stuff looks awful imo and I haven’t got the time to build it all myself. So, still breakin’ & lookin’.
Bought a Xiaomi phone, rooted it, loving it, so cheap and still private enough. I’ll just can’t get my head around in spending almost a grand for a freaking phone.

My mother in law died after long sickness and she kinda connected phones, not the best, not the most expensive, but now I’m stuck with 8 phones, all ok for me, this one has that, and that one has this, I’m very confused what I should do, but on principle I’ll never to buy a phones for 1300 € plus, that’s about what a decent one would cost me these days, nope, never. Now I’m up to rooting My collection of Chinese spying apparati, yeah! I WILL SURVIVE THIS! Cheaply!
