Yep. I'm doing it currently with my work laptop. I have two G speakers set up as a stereo pair and connected to laptop by BT.
That's the most devastatingly effective description of the shitshow that I've ever heard.
Well worded and thanks. โ๐ผ
1tn is plenty to go round surely!!!
Yet they still are knocking on the door of a 1tn valuation. ๐
For me the win is being able to delete my Google speakers for voice control. Paired with Home Assistant Voice device it can pretty much replace Google. I'll just use the Google speakers via bluetooth as music players.
UI is a bit clunky as mentioned, but I'm happy to live with that for now due to ^^^.
Alanis could write an extra line in a particular song about this.
Or she could write a new song about NIMBYism, hypocrisy etc.
It's not FOSS though I think? Free and paid tier. Website doesn't say much about privacy etc. I actually have Lawnchair running silently and almost configured to mirror my Nova home screen but there doesn't seem to be folders in the app drawer which is a pain, unless I have totally missed it.
Edit: Indeed, I totally missed it, in the settings. FFS.
Excellent. Lawnchair it is then.
The Fossify suite has a messages app. Available on Fdroid. No internet access, no trackers.
It's not as polished visually as the mainstream apps but works absolutely fine.
Thanks for your thoughts. Totally agree.
I was in the verge of installing GOS but I think there is an issue with a first responder app that we are about to get access to, throwing errors of a phone seems to be rooted or similar, so I'll have to check that it more. If its a non issue, GOS will be in play.
Nabu Casa is the way. Built by Home Assistant for Home Assistant, and utterly seamless and reliable (in my experience).
Most importantly it supports the developers who have created this amazing piece if software! Do it! ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
I guess when you pay with a credit card, theres limited information being shared. Taking things at face value, you are paying for a service that wont track you, see your data, give away your data etc.
Looking at it in terms of privacy vs. anon is a good way to look at it. If you want anonymity, you won't be using a credit card I assume, unless it's a throwaway you can top up. I imagine people who want full anonymity would be using stuff that's more specialised and niche than the likes of Proton etc., likely FOSS stuff, home servers, services without login/registration.
Privacy is like a step away from anonymity in that regard I think.
