  • Comes down to preference in security vs. Convenience: Keepass is local, so more safe, but with the downside of no automatic sync. can be solved with KDE connect (completly local) or nextcloud (trusted server) though it is not as smooth of a user experience.

    Battery is good in my opinion, had an used LCD smartphone before, which held barely a day in the end, this one has two days and a half with battery saver kicking in at 25% which is more than enough for me.


  • YouTube: newpipe

    Mail: fairmail

    Cloud: nextcloud (you need to host a Server or join one hosted by someone you trust though)

    Music: phonograph

    Video: vlc

    2FA: freeOTP

    Passwords: keepass(XC)

    I am using grpahene on a refurbished pixel 6a for 250€

    I was coming from lineage os, and while I loved lineage for not having ads, possibility for no google etc. I AM SO HAPPY WITH GRAPHENE

    it is better optimized, has higher security and the multiple users, sandboxes Google and stuff are soooo nice and easy to use

    Also the pixel is a very nice phone (crazy camera, perfect oled) but I don’t like that it doesn’t support wired headphone and SD cards. Still very much worth it IMHO





  • Agree with you in general, but I think a lot if people here are not really informed what differences there are materialistic ideologies.

    Yes, Stalin bad.

    But Guevara is not Stalin.

    Marx is not che

    Engels is not Marx

    China is not communist.

    Marxism is not materialism

    Socialism is not communism

    Also the amount of people bringing the “the 3 times people tried socialism were bad, so the whole ideology must be bad” argument are way to high IMHO.

    How many times was capitalism tried? How many times it worked out? Is the USA a “functioning” state with all the oppression, racism, greed, invading other countries out of monetarian interest and environment destruction?

    While I agree with you, that oppression is bad, no matter what the oppressor calls himself, we should talk about policies without resorting to dogmas and generalising people in favor of fear the hegemonic class is propagating to stay in power.
