This feels like my Philips. It has gotten so damn slow lately. I thought I had partially cleaned the system and yesterday I did a check and removed 25 apps thanks to adb. 25. I could not remove them from the TV setttings. Most of it was co.uk.freeview shit… was it there on my previous cleanup? Doubt. Did I install that? No.
… which is completely normal and tolerated.
Aaand it’s -75% on Gog. 'Mazing!
You are wrong on that: It would be a start to solving the issue! Every little step forward counts.
As for 1000 apps replacing website, I could not agree more… In addition you get much better control on a website like adblocks and javascript control.
Pretty sure you don’t pay (aka they are included) for SMS in most (and everywhere within) Europe (except Switzerland ofc…).
Yeah same for me. I guess some (quite many actually) people are aware Whutsapp&Co is evil and are just waiting for an opportunity to make the move.
You think? I consider these memes more like a reminder of our global to-do list. It doesn’t mean we can’t selfhost a matrix server at the same time.
I would say it’s a step by step work. I have moved my family from Whatsapp to Signal years ago and then to Matrix. I forced them in some way but I just said “sorry if you want to keep contact we will have to find another app, I don’t accept Whatsapp ToS.” It took some time but my close family and friends are there and I regularly get someone to join, friend or family. It’s still close circle but it’s also a good thing. Same went with work. Colleagues wanted to do a whatsapp group for a project and I basically said “No, best I can do is Signal.” and they went with it.
I can vouch for Matrix unfortunately it is not listed and instead they mentioned Signal which is further from the fediverse.
Yeah they mean swiss german because it’s not understandable to common hochdeutsch speaker whereas the french has barely any difference. Don’t know about the rest (italian?).
