Thank you so much. I already made it my profile Pic in Signal (Molly)

Edit: and now Lemmy too.

You seem to know a lot about we…, I mean, electricity. Tell us more 🤣🤣

By the way, I’m just joking, as these companies are just getting more dystopian by the second.

People like that are the reason these fucking corporations are so entitled. The problem is not governments or legislations, the problem is us.

Until we decide that we will not finance companies that pull bullshit like this, no amount of legislation will make them stop.

SmartTube on TV and Newpipe on mobile, always VPNd.

I am seriously digging this one. Pretty self-explanatory, spot on in my opinion.

Do you mind if I use it for my profile Pic?

Agreed, for this you’ll want something more “Fedora-ish”.

I’ve tried Endeavour (after failing miserably to do stuff in Arch) and ended up breaking it really bad.

I just went back to Fedora, and haven’t looked back (in 3 months, until the distro-hop urge kicks in again 😁)

You’re right, I assumed you were the OP, and that’s squarely on me. The cats still remain. Most of the suggestions here will be impossible to find via streamline means, as this is not a streamline network, and much less a “normie” channel.

Have you tried searching instead of coming straight to a group of nerds focused on privacy and crying about something not being in the Play Store, which many of us avoid like the plague?

During the Biden administration I should have gone to the US over 25 times, and 3 more during Trump’s new term, and not once have they asked me for anything other than “how long are you here for” and “what’s the purpose of your trip”.

I guess I’m lucky, because I don’t have a single mainstream social media account.

Last windows I used was 10,and I’ve always found it lacking in the screen capture arena. Full disclosure, I had no idea Flameshot had a windows version.

Gnome has an extension called GSConnect which is their re-implementation of KDE Connect. I have in my tablet and phone, and it’s flawless.

But don’t change yet, give me until the weekend, I’ll spin Fedora with KDE in my laptop, and come back with my experience with FlameShot.

No need to change if that’s what you like and it ends up working.

Flameshot does require some tweaking to work anyway, so I’ll need check if it’s the same in KDE.

I honestly haven’t tried on KDE, but I can give it a shot this coming weekend and report back. I’m up for a distro hopping round anyway.

But in Gnome, dual screens, it works like a charm, also on Wayland.

Yeah, but this is about self hosting and it’s costs, so the comparison is relevant.

FlameShot. In my opinion, the best and most versatile screen capture app for Linux distros, especially if you use Gnome as your DE.

If you’re referring to the com.android.adservices.api module, in the GrapheneOS discussion forums they clarify this: “This is an open source component of the Android Open Source Project providing an implementation of alternatives to tracking users for targeted advertising. It isn’t enabled by default, doesn’t use any Google services and is not a privacy issue in any way.”

They also mention that: “GrapheneOS isn’t going to enable these features since we don’t have any reason to enable targeted advertising.”

We all would love to be able to reset this, but we can’t, plus it appears to be irrelevant to our privacy as long as we don’t install Google Play Store and Google Play Services (which I have chosen to NOT install).

We can’t reset of disable it because, and I quote: “However, the systems it provides are much better than the approaches preceding them based on identifiers. Google Play provides an optional advertising ID which can be regenerated or disabled but most other SDKs don’t provide similar controls.”, so it seems that, because I don’t have the optional advertising ID that Google Play provides, I can’t, nor do I need to, reset or delete the ID.

This is the link to that discussion: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/2156-why-theres-a-package-named-android-adservices-installed-out-of-the-box/10

I get it, but GrapheneOS is meant to “disallow” those things precisely because they invade our privacy.

Genuinely curious here, I but what restrictions?

I do the exact same thing in my Chromecast w/GTV (yes, and also a firestick 4K).

These are android devices, and that’s how android works and competes with Crapple (full disclosure, I also hate Google).
