As I said good for you, if you found your solution.

So where did I recommend it to others. I just said why I chose it.

I am fine with waiting for the security patches and the comparison to Win10 does not work, as this version does not get any security patches at all anymore.

I will keep sitting in my cardboard fortress and will wait until someone finds me.

To me it shows me that I replied to the right comment. I just tagged you, as I agreed with what you said in your comment below.

I think you might not understand the meanings of privacy and security.

These are two different things, you can have privacy without security and the other way around. Having both is the best case.

As @[email protected] said, some people care more about all those app trackers rather than have a full secure phone.

If there would be the one solution 100% privacy and security and available for most phones I would instantly use it. But it is not available yet.

If you are happy with Graphene OS good for you, but keep in mind it might not be what everyone is looking for.

Sorry but this sounds again like the typical e/Os bashing from GrapheneOS users.

Those two system are not the same. One is focused on security and the other on privacy.

Yes I know about the issues of e/OS, but it is still better than using Google or Apple.

For me personally I moved cause I don’t want to support american companies. So Graphene was no option, as I would need to give google some money or buy one 2nd hand. But Pixels are still quite expensive compared with others.

Why do you always need to attack other systems, they can coexist. We should be happy people have more options to break free from Big Tech companies.

Amazing.

Injust switched a year ago and now I finally discovered bash scripts.

It is so mich easier, I also automated some manual tasks with Python scripts to name my PDFs, never would have done that with windows.

And the best part of it, it’s actually fun and I want to even do more.

As always I have to thank DJT, for make me switch. 🤣

Unfortunately not, I only used AudD so far.

I tested it with all my stuff I had in my Shazam library and it recognised everything, so I kept the default settings.

Shazam --> Audile

Microsoft Authenticator --> Aegis

Password Manager --> KeepassDX( I use Syncthing to keep it up to date across my devices

Weather App --> Cirrus

Task Manager --> Task.org

To use Google Maps links --> GeoShare

In general there are a lot of good Apps on F-Droid. To keep it that way, please read this: KeepAndroidOpen

Otherwise all those beautiful Apps from F-Droid will disappear.

First of all thanks for sharing your journey, in a way some of those stories are hilarious.

I could see myself in your stories over the past 15 years working in IT. Unfortunately I came just recently to the conclusion, that the management does not want to improve efficient processes. As this would mean they would be questioned why they have so many employees under them.

I have been responsible for AI in our company and then be told someone else will do it know, because the Board level did not like I told them the state of the art, where we stand with using AI in our corporation and it just not resulting in layoffs straightaway.

So in my own opinion it can really help people become more efficient at work, if they know what the are doing. But what I see no one questions that it actually takes people longer doing their tasks with AI, rather than do it without it. No one seems to question, if AI is needed for this problem or it could be solved in another way.

How will the future with AI looks like?

I dunno where this will go in the future, but I could see AI is destroying the internet as it was, flooding it with so much bullshit. Especially what Elon is trying with its Grok Wiki. In a few years time the internet as we knew and loved it back in the early days will be dead. Somehow I always have to think of the film Surrogates with Bruce Willis, where there was a parallel society from people that did not want AI machines in their life.

Maybe there will be a new internet where people will be using it without ads, paywalls, AI garbadge… Which is kind of what the fediverse is already.
