To be honest, I think they are still busy paching/updating the PC version of the game. They are not big corps that have all the funds and time in the world.

Yoooo , this thing looks straight out of Witcher series, bet it would put up a cool fight.

I think it just mean you blocked/restricted these app’s internet access.

Linux Mint chocolate chip cookies with coconut milk and some other things 🤤.

Thanks for the suggestions! 😃 I will take the two phone method into consideration in the future.

I see, perhaps changing my approach & mindset towards privacy is the next thing I should work on.

Will definitely still do more stuff like boxing & containing non private services.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I will give more office alternatives a shot, and see Windows more as a “tool” that I don’t prefer, rather than something to banish.

And yeah, Google sees all on stock android. I definitely will make Pixel+ custom ROMs my top choice when I next switch phones.

Guess I tried to push privacy a bit too fixated. Thx for the reminder👍.

Being subscribed to this community taught me that even if you trust the company you’re giving your data to(Don’t trust any), it’s still only a matter of “when” it will be leaked not “if”.

It’s just a good rule of thumb that all data you give will end up open/sold.

Typing this on a Zenfone 10.

The good thing is that this phone don’t really have bad querks like ZF8&9, and the 2 years update only means not getting new android features, Zenfone still works perfectly fine a long time after the 2 year mark.

And yes, Asus has been quite an A** hole in the whole bootloader situation, but putting that aside there are still plenty of ways to tinker a phone without root(Fdroid, adb, launcher, netguard, etc…).

I would say If custom ROMs are too important for you, get a Pixel, they are just that good with it.

But if you are willing to look past that, Zenfones are great.

And the science gets done, and you made a neat distro.

For the people who are using linux.

One tip for Olauncher is that you can put emojies in the app’s names! It makes things a lot less text heavy.

Super Tux Kart and MineTest. Both are on fdroid and have amazing modding capabilities . I will say modding them is part of the fun too.
