Wait, you mean you need an app to listen to music in a Bluetooth earphone? It’s not just connect it to your phone via Bluetooth? I don’t usually use phones but I have some Chinese cheap phone I use sometimes that I just connect to my phone and that’s it.


Yeah I’ve switched 3 times already but every once in a while the app crashes or fails the integrity test and I note in the worse possible time…when I need to pay for something. Looks like the best alternative is to have a cheap android phone just to do banking.


I’ve tried and could not use none of them without the website requesting the app to login or to verify the transactions



Yeah I did that because of the banking apps issues so I’ve installed magisk. Looks like I made a mistake.




All the banks I have an account need an app in order to login. I’ve tried to use them using the browser but they all request you to use their app as 2fa. So the app doesn’t work and I just can’t do shit using only my browser.


All banks I have an account need an app in order to login. I’ve tried several times to use the browser but I always get to use their app as 2fa. None of the 4 banks I have an account let you use the browser without installing and verifying your phone via official app. It’s ridiculous and annoying. As of calendar I just use the AOSP calendar app but sometimes I need to share my work schedule with my wife and that would be great to just share a calendar without sending her the screenshot of the days I have work. Besides that I just could use paper with no problems at all.


I’m planning to buy a new phone in the next year or so and looks like pixel is a great option because of graphene. I wish it ran on my poco x3.


Yeah I intend to buy a cheap android phone just to do banking …I guess that’s the easiest way to deal with this


Degoogling my phoone - Feeling like is too much trouble for the privacy
Hey guys, it's pretty much the tittle. I've been using Lineage with microg for a year now and despite using the majority of FOSS apps in my routine I still feel like I have to struggle to preserve my privacy and keep Google away from my data. Do you guys feel the same sometimes? Every time I have to use a banking app is a pain ..I kept changing banks to the ones who I could use with Magisk but every app update breaks my setup and I have to find a workaround or change to another app. I just quit using banking apps and passed them all to the wife.Now even home brokers have been blocking me asking to use a "official android version" Today even a government app we must use to get access to services and information started complaining about my play store. I self host a nextcloud service on my old desktop that serves as a server but every now and then the updates crash something. Sharing calendar and notes is too complicated if you don't have a vps or a domain. I keep getting complains from the wife about how come I just don't use google keep and Google drive anymore. After a year I'm starting to think that maybe my data is not worth the hassle just to keep big tech out of my digital life.. I guess Big Brother wins What do you say? Am I too lazy or it is unpractical to stay away from big tech?

I’ve installed smarttube this week on my tv but I’m having issues with videos not loading or with 403 error …almost all videos return this error…any ideas about what may be the reason?


$246?! I can’t afford that. For that price I’d rather avoid cameras and such. Cool technology though




Yeah…in my country it’s almost mandatory to have it or you won’t talk to anybody…it’s the only message app most people know… It’s like windows to operating systems…people just use it and ignore that there are different ways to communicate. I tried to use other apps like telegram or signal …nobody wants a second app to send messages…too much trouble


I’ve just installed this app using aurora and it was found in the search too…I’m from Brazil and not using a VPN at the moment …running lineage with microg on my phone and anonymous account for aurora …maybe is something with your aurora build…my aurora app stops showing results from time to time too …usually I just wait a couple days and try again with success…


No way I didn’t see that! I thought it was while using the English keyboard since it doesn’t happen in message apps and the only place I use English keyboard is in Lemmy (jerboa) … I’ll switch to other app


I use openboard but it gets me mad sometimes when I start deleting characters and it removes the space between the last word…sometimes it’s really annoying!


Depending on your use any distro would be good for you…if you like KDE maybe you should choose a distro with it but again, depending on your use it might be heavy on your system.different Desktop environments don’t really expand your horizons …different distro do…so if you have already played with Ubuntu maybe you should choose a Red Hat based distro or maybe an Arch based …both using KDE
