@BuyFromEU EU not spying is nationalist propaganda

[jago@mementomori.social]

@BuyFromEU every fucking thing is pushing towards using google or apple shit for everything. I've made some lucky choices in the past and can do my banking and shopping and EV charging on my Linux phone (Fairphone 5, PostmarketOS). But things like parking and most charging operators and I guess most public transport expect you to carry either of those two spies in your pocket all the time.

A two panel cartoon.

Panel 1: A man asks, "Who hates being spied on?", and everyone raises their hand.

Panel 2: The man asks, "Who will stop using Google?", and everyone lowers their hand.

@schmaker @BuyFromEU I'm using Fennec (Firefox) on LineageOS with F-Droid installed. You can do something like that.

@BuyFromEU

Use Brave and DuckDuckGo...

[schmaker@schmaker.eu]

@bufalo1973 @BuyFromEU I do IronFox with Aurora and F-Droid .. stock android, unflashable phone.

Yet, migrating between devices is pain in the ass...

Or just pay for, and use #kagi

@BuyFromEU my biggest hurdle is email (sad face as in 2nd pic)

@BuyFromEU Oppose Chat Control in the EU parliament whilst you're at it.

@BuyFromEU Great idea, if only @ecosia would not use #googletagmanager to still send data to #google

[graydon@canada.masto.host]

@chicraote de-googled phones exist, but you still can't buy apps without a google identity and this makes a de-googled phone substantially less useful.

@chicraote I run a Murena phone because I'm sick of US spy tech, but none of my UK bank apps work on it because banks class the phone as 'insecure'. It's a colossal pain.

@graydon @schmaker @BuyFromEU @e_mydata @fairphone @murena This is not true : you can install most apps with Aurora Store (Google Play alternative) in anonymous mode. I closed my Google account years ago and I can install almost all the apps available on Google Play... Thank you @e_mydata and #aurora

@chicraote @graydon @schmaker @BuyFromEU @e_mydata @fairphone @murena those phone are not secure no thanks.

[schmaker@schmaker.eu]

@e_mydata @murena @graydon @chicraote @BuyFromEU I'd say you misunderstood. You can install apps, but you can't buy them

[gerenuk@c.im]

@Pettet8 @BuyFromEU Brave is basically Chromium (Blink) which ist still contaminated with Google. Only option are Gecko based browsers like Firefox (better Waterfox or Librewolf)

[graydon@canada.masto.host]

@chicraote I own and use a e/OS phone. I am not making theoretical statements.

I did not say "install". I said "buy". You cannot buy squeak without a google identity.

If I want the paid version of Flowx (an excellent weather app with real costs to talk to real servers with the weather data), I can't have it without a google identity. If I want the paid version of RealCal or GitSync, I can't have it without a google identity. Et multi cetera.
