The most important thing for me in a #deGoogle phone is taking back my right to privacy, and not having my personal data sold for Google's profit.


I would love to run Tuta apps natively in #SailfishOS which can be run in Volla phone! I really would love to see amazing European companies like #Tuta, #Jolla and #Volla doing more co-operation ❤️

#degoogle


The most important thing about a #deGoogle phone is that the system and applications work without constant logging into Google/Apple and without built-in telemetry, and that permissions (especially network, location, microphone, camera) are only granted when they are really needed.


❝ what is most important for you on a #deGoogle phone? ❞

ROOT.

i need to know no FAANG apps are hiding in root as “system” software.

here in USA, Samsung & LG been in cahoots with FAANG, Qualcomm and telcos, partitioning root to hide their stalkware. they openly conspire to make it impossible to root USA & Canada phones running Snapdragon & Knox.

a properly degoogled phone works as the computer it is. i should be able to reformat with any AOS.

so give me root access.

For me, a #deGoogle phone is true sovereignty, having full control over my data, my device, and my digital identity. As someone deeply involved in systems and security, a phone like Volla built for privacy and freedom really resonates with my values.
#Privacy #DigitalFreedom


#deGoogle phones are important to me because they let me be the sole arbiter of my own data.


The most important thing on a #deGoogle phone is a good and somewhat frequent security updates, gotta keep up with the breaches, what is the point of privacy without security?


Being frank, for me this is more a global issue rather than a personal security concern. What a #deGoogle device brings is a choice to stop feeding even more the unstoppable oligopoly that reigns the world supremme without any other opossition that the equaly obnoxious Chinese statal conglomerate. We need to stop feeding the monster. More players, from all over the world must come in. We need to bring competition back to the ever more crucial technological sector.


what is most important for me on a #deGoogle phone? Possibly the Linux potential, as presently that would prevent me of a vendor lock-in on the long run.


On a #deGoogle *phone*? Headphone jack. If you think about it, it's in a similar spirit to deGoogling - let me have options! Such low hanging fruit too, SoCs do all the heavy lifting already.

RE: mastodon.social/@Tutanota/1157…

I am 100% likely to recommend @Tutanota as a Gmail replacement. VERY happy with the service. If you're ready to #deGoogle #unGoogle or say #ByeGoogle, this is an excellent and impactful place to start.


Shoutout to the legendary Tuta community 🙌

Thank you all for taking the time to partake in our yearly survey!

#Molly app has a socks5 option but only #Orbot "VPN" mode will work. What if #Arti from @torproject could bind with Molly on socks5 via #Termux?

would be nice to have #systemd like @postmarketOS

*Termux @termux
pkg update (possible to plug in keyboard and display to #android #mobile app)
then proot-distro login --isolated debian
su - user because Arti will complain eventhough phone is not really rooted, change etc/resolv.conf to cloudflare, add dependencies needed for #rust rustup and cargo on #debian #trixie, chmod g-w ~/.config

* #Oniux --> E0560

* Arti --> Linux Scaffolding Log_Connections

* apkeep #EFF eff.org/pages/apkeep --> shared storage path, package manager chokepoint won't install

* network monitoring like Nyx with #tokio-console

In a way, like passwordless root in QubesOS. Some good customizations can be made in Dom0, though, unlike GrapheneOS.

I have been a long time user and promoter of @Tutanota for my email as part of my effort to #degoogle. However, I'm unfortunately at an impasse where they overcharged my credit card a ridiculous amount and are not responding to me at all. Definitely a deal breaker.

Does someone have alternative privacy centred email providers to recommend? Preferably ones that have support in case there's a billing error. To save me the hassle of doing credit card charge backs.

Look who's on HowToGeek's #deGoogle list 😤



Při své #degoogle jsem narazil na problém Waze. Používal jsem ho ještě za krále Klacka, nějaký cesty jsem se tam taky nakreslil, tak to byla srdcovka. Dlouho jsem hledal, aktuálně zkouším Magic Earth. Privacy oriented, založené na #osm, ukazuje to hustotu provozu a trasy super. #ios i #android


When we say #OpenSource, we mean business. That's why ALL Tuta apps are published on @fdroidorg

While Google & Apple monitor all push notifications, your data is safe when choosing Tuta Mail. 🔒

"I show you mine, you show me yours"? We'd love to see your phone screens in the comments! 👇

Let no one tell you it's impossible to #deGoogle your life. 💪


#nextcloud made it possible for me to (self-)host my (and my family's) phone calendars, contacts, and even when pictures are taken, they get uploaded to our Nextcloud instance, and NOT to google/apple.

10/10, would recommend for any household looking to #degoogle.

Others include #searxng, has literally replaced all monolithic search engines, works great, no ads or AI

#mastodon, for my #activitypub based social network

#matrix for chatting with my social network

and also #KDE.


Have to use Reddit on a degoogled phone?

You can now get push notifications using Reddit's webapp over @unifiedpush in browsers that support it. (IronFox and soon Fennec)
#Reddit #deGoogle #UnifiedPush


It's July already, time to check how many have achieved this #NewYearsResolution to #DeGoogle! 😀

And while G Suite (now Workspace) has another price hike, Tuta has the best discount ever. 🥳 Time to switch and stop feeding AI with your data!
