Losing WiFi on Pixel 8 (lemmy.ca)

Hey there, For the past couple months or so I've been having a hard time keeping WiFi signal. At first I thought it was the radio station I listen too but I installed the same app on my Pixel tablet which also runs Graphene as well and there's no issue which leaves me to believe it is thephones... They should have the same drivers right..?

Got my partner to get me wildflowers seeds and she came back home with "annual" wildflowers...now I'm no biology expert here but this has me scratching my head.

Donald Trump is 100% Serious About Annexing Canada by CkrnkFrnchMn in c/canada@lemmy.ca

[-] CkrnkFrnchMn@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago

Until we start getting our shit together...open inter-provincial business...become more self-sufficient...Canada will have to appease Trump [aka border security] instead. A good example is ON having more than 60% of natural gas coming from the US...as if we don't have natural gas but hey...lets rely on the US because it cost too much to build infrastructure.

The "Nothing to hide" argument is a logical fallacy by CkrnkFrnchMn in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Nothing to hide...my answer to that is: "Then why do you close your curtains at night if you have nothing to hide..?"

Using TrackerControl [TC] (lemmy.ca)

Mornin' Been wondering if I should install GOS on my Pixel8 or keep my present setup with TC. I'm not conversant with the mechanics behind TC but it feels right to me. I don't use Google Apps and have been on F-Droid more often then Google Play. I do have a few apps which require net access hence using TC.

What say you..?

Hey there, Just wondering is Linux on an Android device (through UserLAnd or else) is as secure as Linux as the main OS.

Edit...Should say private not secure

Tanx much

I still maintain that in order to fullfill our commitment to NATO we should get into transport. A lot more demands for air cargo than there is for fighters...

Google will pull news links in Canada in response to new law by CkrnkFrnchMn in c/canada@lemmy.ca

The worst thing about Google to me is their grab on Android. Yes granted many software companies will not divulge the coding behind their apps but still. No way should Google have that much monopoly on an OS. You would think we would have learned our lesson with Microsoft but apparently not. I have de-google my life as much as possible and am starting to realize just how big Google Android ecosystem is. So...all that to say that yes...every thing that Google loses I'm all for it.
