username checks out

I haven’t used rocky, it is just the one that is suggested in the arch wiki link above.

“such a lemmy moment” 🤣🥱

ai, protecting people from ai.

No doubt that is what most people want, but it often isn’t how it works, especially if you want to use software on linux, that the developer doesn’t appear to want you to use.

Rockyos linked above via distrowatch might be your best bet

“I asked AI” 🙄

proton is purple google (poogle)

ubuntu is a misnomer

Thousands of horses would not end up at slaughter every year if they were not bred to be exploited.

Swapping google apps over to fdroid etc apps before changing os is definitely the right way to go.

I reinstalled lineage recently via https://lineage.microg.org/ but have yet to use anything not on fdroid so far. I had to drop my banking apps, and a couple of webmail default apps… not the end of the world. Time will tell if it will remain feasible to keep it that way, future interactions with the government, or businesses might make it annoying (mainly due to ID cr*p), but so far it hasn’t been a problem.

I originally installed lineage via https://wiki.lineageos.org/ then added GApps at the last step, but the google sh*t still being on my phone was not what I wanted.

The installation isn’t that difficult, although the instructions do need to be read carefully. You can stuff it up without killing your phone.

My motorola g84 is running it, as is my sony xperia xz2

Probably worth watching some installation videos first.

odysee seems very youtube like in all the wrong ways

I will check out rumble, it isn’t one I have heard of, thank you.

A balance of quantity and quality I guess, browser based, and no to low ai

I’ve looked a few times over the years and never found anything that ticks the boxes.

I recommend uBlacklist to correct this.

pipepipe etc seems very not likey.

I’m still to find a platform that serves the same purpose as yt, it’s my last google thing. I had some potential options open, but then didn’t. Need to look yet again.

I’m not talking about starscream

My watch history is turned off.

The real dislike button is using a channel blocker, or pipepipe etc

ai is owned and marketed by completely evil people.

It seems like only yesterday…
