Came here to ask this. I have no answers

If it makes you feel better I have a Sony with 21:9 too. So there’s at least two of us😅

Doesn’t work

I don’t know how effective it is but I use adguard for blocking ads and trackers. It uses a vpn to route traffic through. You can firewall apps so I have all Google apps blocked through the firewall. I’m not sure if this will fully stop Google but I can see that it frequently blocks requests from Google play services. You could also use ADB or canta to remove system apps that you don’t want

Are you on audibookbay?

Turns out I just didn’t have the right firmware for my setup. I am running emulators from batocera Linux and I needed 18.1.0. All works fine now 😁

I remember spending so long designing my emblem for online, only to be blown away by what others managed to draw. Let’s not forget all the penises🤣

You should check out gadget bridge. It’s got a list of devices it’s compatible with.

He’s very happy to be working on a game that isn’t smash Bros 😆

I use tor and I haven’t found it to be annoyingly slow. It’s not fast but you can manage with it for most things

Would a sandboxed VM work for league of legends? Its the one game I occasionally play with friends that I haven’t been able to since moving to Linux. Not that I miss it much, just don’t want to be left out 🥺

I moved to mint about a year ago since my hardware is too old to run 11. I’m glad I made the switch and wish I had done it sooner. I’m never going back 😁

Praying from this end of my Sony xperia

There’s just so much left to uncover in this series, even as we approach the end. I can see it still going on for another 5+ years

Joining in on the love for material files. I’ve been using it a long time. The more I’ve got into FOSS apps I’ve come to realise that they are feature rich, lightweight and ad free. Its the difference between using something designed to be a good product vs something that is designed to squeeze as much out of you as possible

I have older hardware that would not be compatible with windows 11. I’ve recently started becoming a privacy nerd and thought this would be the perfect time to switch to Linux. I’ve been running Linux mint for a year and I will never go back, there is no reason to 😁 I wish I had done it sooner

Looks like you’re fully embracing spooktober! What other games are you planning to play?

Yeah its crazy, its not even that much more inconvenient to use another service. people just tend to stick to what everyone else does I guess

Yeah this is the problem, I can’t even broach moving away from what’s app without my friends calling me crazy.
