Honestly i didn’t even think of that. i’ll still switch then!

man, and i was gonna switch to graphene this christmas. if every app can just ban my OS, i might have to rethink this. i would use the website but they restrict so many things to apps now…

thank you so much for the ad. do us all a favor and never post another one

saw two of em in person this week. they’re even uglier in person

my state is already sucking his balls like last time :(

how’s that Google dick tasting?

pretty much every app will start to use iOS 16 as the minimum OS capable of running it. it’s best if you upgrade now so you can run all of your apps and so you have more security

you could also try this for iPhone: https://github.com/arichornloverALT/uYouEnhanced it has sponsorblock included too

aww. does apple being forced to allow the newest messaging standard hurt you?

i’m not sure. most people at my school use a laptop at their main computer, so they couldn’t use an ubuntu DVD anyways. i personally prefer dual boot over single boot

linux can be used through mostly GUI now so i partly agree with you, but installing linux can be quite a hard task for those who aren’t tech savvy. i’m pretty sure being able to do the following can be considered tech savvy:

1. change boot settings
2. flash an ISO to a USB drive
3. shrink windows partition into a new one for linux
4. boot from USB
5. actually install linux
6. get used to linux

Edit: the thing is… everyone is so used to things being pre-installed (ie windows/macOS/iOS), being able to download apps easily from the apple App Store. anything even slightly more complicated than that is too hard for them. i’ve had a graphic design class with some people a few years ago and some of them had to ask me for help for how to open a file, save, and export. if something isn’t completely, 100% automated for them, they can’t do it.

I’m part of Gen Z, and no, we as a generation AREN’T tech savvy. just because we grew up with smart phones does not make us tech savvy. in fact, i actually think it made us dumber with tech. i’m the only one in my school who knows how to use a command line and code (i also use linux as my daily driver). meanwhile everyone else doesn’t even know what a freaking file manager is

we’re talking about encryption here, not…that. please get your mind out of the gutter

i would try them if i cared. i don’t

it’s a very good tipping point dude. settings is so complicated to navigate and is very slow. not to mention control panel still has more features than settings

definitely. i know so many people from my school who’s iphone home screen is just… pages full of apps. we’re talking 40+ apps on average. they always say it’s weird how i use a website for almost everything, and then they complain about their storage space :/

try linux mint!

that’d be great but i’m pretty sure like 90% of chrome users don’t even know what an extension or even an adblocker is. they’ll just keep using chrome because that’s the browser everyone else uses unfortunately

buddy i would if i could. unfortunately they are forcing me to have it on at all times. which is why im asking for suggestions

sorry for asking a question about privacy in a privacy community. i can’t just not use it because my parents are forcing me to use it. if i was allowed to unplug it, i would.
