PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google
-
Used phones: exist
Users who constantly repost this same comment: "doesn't look like anything to me."
Used pixel actually limit a lot the choice. I've not dived into de-googled phone yet but from what I understood postmarketOS seems like the used/old phone OS

Er. 'I am done with Google'. Watch the video on YouTube...

Three R’s to deGoogling: Reduce, replace, remove.
I would say start by changing your browser and search engine (lots of options out there today), and then set up your own domain for email hosting so you can try different providers.
There isn’t another YouTube with all that content out there, so that one is tough, but you don’t have to 100% de google, 50% is still good. 15% is still good.
Despite the lack of content we should mention peertube any time possible to increase knowledge of it, if nothing else

wrote last edited by [email protected]Writing this from a degoogled Pixel 4a bought second hand for 80 bucks a couple years ago. Great camera, enough storage, fingerprint sensor, headphone jack, fits in hand and pocket. This thing is close to perfect, new phones are scam.

Opinion discarded. Bye.

I bet you have lots of friends! Hahaha

I think it's ironic that the alternatives to Android (graphene, calyx) only fully work on Google phones.
Same reason it continually sucks to get a working Linux build on an apple laptop or desktop.
As bad as Google is, they're lightyears ahead of Apple in terms of protecting their products in a walled garden.

I just subscribbed to him
For the first time
Wasn't interested in his old content but these new videos are fire and he has a very nice personality and overall amazing video quality. I inderstand why he was nmuber 1 for so many years
-
If there's an article with words, can you pass it along? I'm not inclined to go on a Google website and listen to someone slowwwwly tell me why Google is bad.
Life's too short to listen to people who talk slow.

I mean where else is he going to reach the most YouTube/Google users?

Really? What's your favorite custom ROM for modern iPhones?

LineageOS works on a bunch of non google phones

Imagine if some big influencers like him switched to peertube, that would be quiet a thing indeed.
Any influencer that relies on YouTube ad money won't make the full jump.
Other than that, they'll very quickly find out that keeping a video focused service running and serving 10k views daily (300k/mon) is very expensive both in storage and bandwidth.

My own domain?!? Any suggestions??
Get something on .com or .net. Vanity tlds will piss off reputation services. And make sure you set up spf/dkim

I've never investigated for iPhones but would be curious
- if they exist
- how bloody hard they are to get going
I can only speak for laptops/desktops and it being a bitch.
There's a reason I'm very adamant at hating Apple for a multitude of technical reasons. This is but one of them. It's a shame too because their build quality is really S-Tier.

I would get a Nokia flip phone but they cost a bit. Cheaper to get something someone is throwing out

You can save quite a bit by getting a refurbished Pixel - looks like the cheapest "Google certified" option (so it comes with a 1-year warranty) is a 6a for $250, which is nearly half off MSRP. I've been using my 6a since launch, so it's been going for 3 years now and I have no desire to upgrade.
You can definitely get cheaper smartphones, but $250 for a 6a feels like a pretty big bang for your buck.
I got a pixel 9 for $240 CAD via carrier promotion in Canada.
I held out getting a new phone as long as I could and they offered a new pixel 9 for $5 per month for 24 months
Not to trade in after 24.
It's mine. For 5$ a month.
When I received it I didn't turn it on for a week.
Read as much as I could to decide that Google would only ever see the single boot to enable developer mode and enable OEM unlock to flash graphenos.
It seemed intimidating, but the process to install is very smooth.

Just block his name, I have trump and Elon and varations of their names black listed so posts with them don't show up on my feed.
i have filters with elon musk, zuckerberg &c
pewdeewhatever posts appeared in the last couple of days

Throwing it out there - I am tired of left always acting as if something done decade ago was still fresh. Pewds changed, he flipped his whole video formula, and even back then evil things he did were at least questionable. Let it go folks. You are doing nothing else than making yourself look like bitter old people.
Edit: I noticed it's not obvious what I am talking about. Other comments. People constantly talking about how Pewds is a nazi.
People on Lemmy really just suck. So much snobby negativity

Thise are just different flavors. I need a pixel 8 pro xl equivalent device that runs linux natively. All thw postmarket phones are ancientx

Man I want to move to Graphene so bad. I want all the google ripped out of my phone.
Its decent except google amdoid aosp policy changes are screwing it over
