I got one of the budget phones from Muerna, the Teracube 2s. You gotta go really light on the apps on this phone if you want to find e/OS alternatives, otherwise itll be either laggy, slow or just break and won’t work. Fennec has a lot of privacy features on its app, to the point where some things just won’t freaking load if your really concerned about internet traffic, ads, trackers etc. For me it just dosent work on this phone unless I use it on my other phone ive been experimenting with, Galaxy A16 5g.

I really wanted to use Fennec but its so freaking slow

Hmmm I just downloaded it and so far its fine. 🤔Im gonna give it a shot and try it out

Thats what I do too. But for mobile, currently I’m using DuckDuckGo until I find something that can work right on this phone. The default browser for this phone is garbage and Iv been trying to find an alternative since then.

For everyone using Firefox, are you using it with microG or some type of sandbox? Even when going private, you can’t download it unless you have Google Play services on mobile. Ive tried to see if it works without google and unfortunately it dosent. If that’s the case for mobile, then technically we really shouldn’t be using it either.

Theres one literally called Wallet where you can store information of your credit/debit cards but unfortunatly cant use them (still learning the app). Now Catima is awesome but its for anything you need thats a QR code. For example, I mostly use it so far for my gym membership.

Yeah…it really did. Thats the phone that you, myself and so many want and they really dont realize how big of a customer base they would get if they put that plan into action.

If the phone was real, i was so ready to be a customer of theirs. Ive been waiting for them to “make” a resonable size phone and not the phablets they have. Instead, they came out with the shitty Nothing 4b for their India market, which showed how bad in quality they’ve gotten. I highly dought after the phone 3 if theyll make good phones again. In the US market, only phone you can get of thiers is the Phone 3 and 4a pro (good luck trying to find the others) 😅

That video that they showed about that phone was 100% satire. Not to mention Nothing unfortunately is looking more and more like an Apple wannabe. Not trusting that company anymore after that crap.😒

You guys are making me want to install a backup app due to some of the comments of is functionally 😅.

just in case I got Gramophone as a backup.

How deep does the rabbit hole get 🤣🤣

I’m still learning all the technical jargon, but with this particular app.; I downloaded it from Droid-ify. I basically disabled anything related to MicroG, to really try and not use anything google (that also includes MicroG). (I don’t have any apps on here that uses the Google PlayStore) Unless in some way it’s still using Google, casue with Lineage OS and its ability to have MicroG (if you choose to).

It’s just mostly aesthetics but youncan get the buttons to provide feedback even though it’s digital

The phone I have is basically Lineage in disguise (e/OS). I haven’t noticed anything to crazy.

Emmmm now that’s a dam pizza😍

Yeah, I understand, it would be ALOT to record.

The instance I’m in is definitely the odd ones out, we got no one here😅

Finally came over to Lemmy and found this place when the news of age vertificarion started spreading around, along with the annoying pop us of signing it to view the sight. Plus I got tired of how dead and full of bots it was, what makes Reddit think I would want to come back?? 😑

I remember having an actual CD player when my parents used to buy all our music; went from that to the iPod touch (before it being lost forever). After that my first streaming service I used was Pandora and I used them for years until now when going fully degoogled. (App kept completely crashing after I got off of Google). Well thats one problem with streaming, another is the storage, subscriptions, annoying ads and some only work online (unless you pay for a subscription).

Nice! Also, that’s a cool wallpaper 😁
