Yep my mistake, I confused ShadowSocks with Cloak.

I’m afraid your best bet here will be using WhatsApp.
Edit:
FindMy (for Android) might also be usable for that, but honestly if you just want it to work I’d still vouch for WhatsApp.
Signal supports a single momentary position, but not live location.
What worked for me at my old school was using a ShadowSocks proxy. Basically what this does, is it takes all your traffic and just makes it look like random https traffic (AFAIK). ShadowSocks is just a proxy. The description fits the Cloak module, mentioned below.
I believe multiple VPNs support this, for me with PIA VPN it’s in the settings under the name “Multi-Hop” (PIA only supports this on the Desktop App, not on mobile).
This technique is pretty much impossible to block, unless you ban every single VPN ShadowSocks Proxy IP. If that is the case for you (chances are practically 0), you could also selfhost ShadowSocks in combination with the Cloak module, however this method is a lot more complicated.
I find it even more puzzling as surely it has to be a decent increase in server demand to constantly be streaming video. How can that be worth it??
+1 on OnlyOffice, it has 1:1 formatting compatibility with Microsoft Office. Unlike LibreOffice, it doesn’t have to translate documents between odt and docx in the background.
In the same vein, OnlyOffice has poor compatibility with odt files etc.
Quite a few cars also still have a SIM card hidden somewhere, which can be removed. The location of it varies widely though and they’re usually pretty hard to find.
Not OP, but this instantly made me think of the worst-case scenario PDFs I stumbled upon on Lemmy recently.
Public transport in Magic Earth mostly works for me. It’s not as good as Google Maps, but it’s better than nothing.
Nope, you’re doing everything right. Unfortunately it seems like that station actually just isn’t available in whatever catalog Transistor uses.
It seems to also have american stations, I’d recommend you still give it a try.
I was never in a situation where I had to choose which fliphone to buy, but most don’t have a normal headphone jack, with a decent number of them also using a fully proprietary headphone port. So I guess I’d look out for it having a normal USB connection and ideally a fullsize headphone jack, or at least one of those smaller diameter jacks.
I don’t know its source for stations, but Transistor has direkt links for many German radio stations and probably other regions too.
I still vastly prefer FM, DAB or Satellite radio, but when those aren’t available Transistor is a nice alternative.
If your hate only goes towards touchscreens and not having physical buttons, Mazda is (or at least was) very anti-touchscreen. I haven’t done any research on their current stance or if they have good EVs, but a neighbor of mine was really happy with his Mazda ICE car for having a button for everything.
It’s not a full car or even entertainment system, but comma.ai is an opensource autonomous driving software. Last time I looked into this was a few years ago, but basically for most newer cars you can rip out the adaptive cruise control, and effevtively replace it with autonomous driving. Either powered by certain supported phones or dedicated hardware.
In that case you can try adding before:2023

Not quite, it stands for Quantum-Dot: https://www.samsungdisplay.com/eng/tech/quantum-dot.jsp
I bought an LG TV, connected it to the internet once to download Jellyfin, blocked internet access directly after.
If you’re cool with connecting it to the internet once, I’d recommend LG, the Magic Remote is light years ahead of the competition.
Other than that, just get any OLED TV and don’t give it internet access (or one of the new QD-OLEDs if you have the money for it).
Yes, but as you say, they have a good privacy policy. Also their revenue model backs up their privacy policy, and I find their reasoning as to why they aren’t FOSS fair:
Will Magic Earth be Open Source?
No; since it is also used commercially (we have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners), we cannot make the code public.
(from the FAQ)
Adding to what others here have already said, I’d definitely download Signal and see if you can get any people to move from WhatsApp/Telegram/whatever to Signal.
I don’t know much about iOS apps, but you could look into more privacy focused YouTube clients, and possibly 2FA clients too (although that’s a bit of a controversial topic on iOS AFAIK).
I saw you mention in another comment that you use Amazon Alexa for smart home appliances. Depending on interest in selfhosting / time / motivation to move away from Amazon, you could look into using Home Assistant instead. It even has a Lemmy community: !homeassistant@lemmy.world.
