I think it’s fine. Not much difference than stock Android but it does what I need it to do.

Sorry, I don’t really use my phone much to call people. The stock app that comes with LineageOS is what I use when I do call.

The Fossify phone app would refuse to dismiss VM notifications, which is why I didn’t like it.

Trustworthy, yes. Recommended – it depends. I use contacts and gallery regularly with no problems. Like @tastemyglaive@lemmy.ml I found that the phone app was not great.

No, predicting the future by way of esoteric knowledge is not real. Anyone who says they can do it is delusional or lying to you.

Could be a British/American English thing. We (Americans) say “learned”, they will often say “learnt.”

At the moment it’s Chappell Roan - After Midnight. The odd thing is that that’s the only song I like by her and I like it more than I care to admit.

We’re howling forever!

Diana Rigg, but only because I was a big Bond nerd in high school.

Only correct answer.

1. I find it useful for work (I am a software developer/tester).
2. I think it’s about as good as it’s ever going to get.
3. I believe it is not ever going to be profitable and the benefits are not worth reopening nuclear and coal power plants.
4. If US courts rule that training AI with copyrighted materials is fair use, then I will probably stop paying for content and start pirating it again.

1, 2, 6, or 7 depending on the season.

Same. There were other things in the past that I look back on and think “hmm that was not great of a decision”, but yeah Trump support is a dealbreaker. That makes you officially “not a good person.”

Boss Level looked interesting. When I found out he was in it…nope.

Mel Gibson.

Sorry bud. The stench is unremovable. Musk could die tomorrow and nothing would change. The brand is toxic.

If you have an idea of what you want to listen to ahead of time you could make a playlist and use yt-dlp to download it all. Then play it in the music player of your choice.

Pineapples and pizza. Yeah I said it.

I find that Maps is one of the most difficult ones to get rid of. There are replacements of course, but they don’t change directions based on current traffic patterns. I also find that for these replacements the routing isn’t very good over medium/long distances.

1. I’m trying to be more anti-large corporation, especially those that have bent the knee to Trump.
2. I want to support the people who make replacement apps/services that have a DIY ethic about them.
3. I kind of like the challenge of it, because it’s not all that easy…which in my mind shows that it’s necessary.

If you don’t want to DeGoogle, that’s fine. It’s a personal decision. If you have all the facts and determine you’d rather stay doing what you’re doing, that’s fine.

I would add

• Proton Drive
• Proton Pass

To the Google Drive and Google Passwords areas.

Proton Drive also has the ability to view pictures it has backed up, but because everything is encrypted, they can’t really sort them into buckets like you can with Google Photos.
