I will be honest that I don’t know what exact shit are we discussing here I rather wanted to point out that Apple might not be as much privacy first company as they like to present themselves.

I can’t. Everything they release is proprietary and locked down, so let’s just trust their narrative.

I can only recommend well researched eyeopener from Techaltar: https://youtu.be/JHnBOUNxHsw

The newer Android versions aren’t that much more bloated. Sure. If you compare Android KitKat with Android 14 it is gonna be a bit more demanding probably especially on graphics, but overall there were a lot of improvements to the battery usage and memory management over the years and I have an experience of newer Android versions running better than the older ones. You can have a 6 years old phone that will run the newest Android version just fine because you flashed it with a custom ROM.

When we get to the manufacturer’s custom Android skins… Well that’s a different story. Most of them are gonna be more or less bloated than stock Android, but this is a problem of manufacturers and the fact that mobile OS market and ecosystem is so much locked down compared to desktop, which makes it harder to remove manufacturer’s bloat from your OS, install different ROMs and tinker with it, rather than Android being bloated as an OS.

You mean the margins between the rounded buttons?

I have a good experience with CalcYou.

Chrome or Chromium project?

Do the “right” thing.

If you like VSCode you can try VSCodium which supports almost all features of VSCode but should be fully FOSS without Microsoft proprietary blobs.

There’s also the PersonalDNSFilter which does the equivalent while being a tiny open-source app that serves only for that purpose and also somehow still not getting banned from the Google Play store or AdAway which also has this feature or TrackerControl or…

You can’t even change brightness on lockscreen when using a notebook or laptop.

I have a good experience with PocketBook.

Win + V should bring up cliboard history which is basically the same pop-up just on a different tab.

I am using FlorisBoard. The development still seems to be active.

Am I dumb or Mint still uses Plasma 5 on xorg by default and its wayland support is mediocre?

VS code is technically not open-source since it has many proprietary blobs on top. VScodium is the fully open-source version.

I don’t know how much can Revanced be considered open-source except for their Revanced manager app since you still use the patched versions of the proprietary Google apps.

Sorry for being pedantic.
