Oooo ill check out the nothing phone! Thanks for tips!

Im checking out snikett🙌 thanks for the suggestion ❤️

I got the same question🙌 i need someone to walk me thru it.

Important point to think about. People want comvience and comfort. I think we have gotten to the point where switching to privacy respecting options is easy and painless. Using signal is easy, using lemmy is easy, and even installing linux and other os is easy. Its just getting people to spend the time to do it. Even im moving slow as hell.

Thats truu, its more about the other people. I think i get distressed because people dont care and I should stop it🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much

Makes sense! Thanks so much!

Yepp! Firefox was an easy change. I use it on my computer! I love the helioboard. But i feel like im making a bunch of spelling mistakes with it😅 Thats truu. I do not like sms alternatives, any recomendations? Im currently using quik and i dont like how clunky it is. It looks weird.

Yeah i need to take it easy i just want to change everything all at once🤣 I changed my notes app, calendar app, keyboard, clock app and sms all on the same day🤣🤣

Makes sense!!

Yep thats why my windows taskbar doesnt hide anymore. They messed it up on one of the updates. So frustrating.

Makes sense. I do want to try the open source software! People say graphene is the best but im not buying a pixel when i love my one plus. And the way people say the battery life is digusting🤣🤣 Linegage ive heard good things about. But they dont have one for my oneplus device. And im afraid of not having my shit backed up. I just want to try degoogling without resetting my device!

Definitely check it out!

Makes sense, i always ignore them until necesary. My cousin alwat told me to never let the computer update. Hes a programmer and i didnt know why.😭

How often do they update another android distros like graphene and lineage? Like at similar intervals?

Thanks so much! Im gonna give those a try! I probably wont be fancy enough to back them up with a flash drive. I should tho.

Yep definitely not smart enough to do that yet🤣🤣 I’ll have to stick with retoswap or buying it through the actual website. Im gonna get a different vpn based on all these comments. Im gonna try mullvad, is that good one?

Yikesss. Ill discontinue it. I definitely got a few viruses on my computer back in the day. And i sail the high seas from time to time, so i dont want to get any foolishness from that.

I also do not update my device on time. Usually when i updaye my phone or windows computer, something be wrong with it for several weeks, so ive stopped updating them until it force updates. Do you why that is?

Thank you for your response! I’ll give a password manager a try! Which one do you recommend?

Monero is interesting, ill take a look! Should i be using tor with it?

Thats a good idea! I’ll check it out!

How does a password manager work? I never understood it. I dont want to mess up my password to where im locked out of those accounts. And i also want to be able to remember my password because ive been signing out of accounts. If i dont remember the password and i wont be able to use my accounts. Source: its happened before. And what happens if someone steals the password manager and gets all your passwords? My cousin is one of those weird people who created a unique password for every account and writes them in book. And im like what of someone steals the book? Like what if someome steals the flash drive. Am i thinking too much into this?

I havent used monero. Im also afriad of crypto. Can you tell me more?!?! I would love to start but i dont know anything about it.

Im not sure! Whatever one that came with my one plus! I use my phone alot, so maybe something that has a lot of power. I have so many texting apps.

I should try a new vpn and see what i like!

Makes sense! Thank you so much! I didnt kmow much about the vpns

Thank you so much! Downloaded aurora!

I probably will only use my computer for banking. It may be annoying, but to protect privacy, gotta do what you gotta do.

Yes ive been using droidify!! Its so good! It includes the f droid and izzy on droid

1. Thank you so much! Ill see what i can download. Lineage os is not avaliable for my specific one plus phone. I’ll check with some other ones.
2. I wanted to delete because thats how google mostly tracks people. Is there another system processes i should delete?
3. Makes sense! Ive been changing them to make sure my data isnt taken.
4. Yikes i didnt know that. I also use malewarebytes for antivirus so i just started using their vpn. So i paid for it, so i hope they arent bad actors…😭
