Looks like it's time to shop for a new mobile "Android 14, Final @calyxinstitute OS update for Pixel 3 - 4a and @shiftphones SHIFT6MQ"

I was always surprised why there is not a way to sync #calendars and #contacts in #android without an app.
Although there are FOSS apps that work well, I'd expect that such a basic feature would be something the OS would do out of the box, specially considering the OS already provides an abstraction for "accounts".
For #degoogled #androidROM it makes even more sense, since most likely users will sync contact and calendar from a "custom" #caldav #carddav service.

This is some bs. If AOSP development is made less publicly accessible it does NOT " simplify things for developers" but rather it hinders it for de-googled privacy respecting ROMs and their device ports. The need for continued and ramped up efforts developing alternative mobile OS's, like Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish OS, Droidian, Mobian, Postmarket, etc. is even more apparent with this move by Google.

I need a single, unified UX across my Linux laptop and #DeGoogled phone.

While I despise the recent Mozilla privacy cave-in, Thunderbird remains the most widely supported "universal" email tool.

I don't want confusion across UX's to cause me to reveal the new, real email identity unless I choose to do so.

BetterBird might indeed be better, but it's not running on everything. Proton's ok, but I've chosen another, and neither will import IMAP boxes.

Which isn't a problem.

No! THIS is a #DeGoogled #phone! by #thehatedone #yt #privacy #security

I'll be testing #eOS #degoogled #android for the next few days/weeks.

Installation on a Nothing CMF Phone went ok-ish, but could definitely be improved, at least in terms of better documentation.

Er der nogen her på Mastodon der har erfaringer med Degoogled mobil. #degoogled #murena #lineageos

I have #deGoogled my phone by (ironically) picking up a second-hand #pixel7 and immediately installing #grapheneOS.

Brings me right back to the days of building #gingerbread for my #htc #raider.

I love that there's no #google on this slab - but I have the option of adding google services in case I ever absolutely *need* to use a piece of software available only on play.

Being an #android oldschooler... I was some impressed with the web installer. My grandparents could have installed Graphene on their phones themselves. Fantastic.

Que difícil es separarse fe Google...

Alternativas para la app para hacer llamadas de teléfono? Sms (rcs)? Alternativa a Google Keep?

/e/OS sprawuje się wyśmienicie!
w sumie nie zmieniałem wiele, jeśli chodzi o apki i launcher (pozostaję przy świetnym minimalistycznym KISS Launcher)..
jedyna zmiana dotyczy Masto. olałem Tusky'ego na rzecz powrotu do FediLab.. podstawowe aplikacje u mnie: Firefox, Feeder, Monocles, AntennaPod, SchildiChat, Transistor, InnerTune, Tmux..

używka Galaxy S9 Plus wraz z /e/OS na pokładzie - super rozwiązanie!

totalnie zdegooglowany system z dodatkowymi ustawieniami bezpieczeństwa i prywatności oraz z wyłącznikami kamery i mikrofonu.
/e/OS działa płynnie i bez żadnych kwasów - jestem mega zadowolony i polecam wszystkim wypróbowanie /e/OS-a!

fuck off & die, Google!
