  • I try to debloat, and degoogle for the most part. I know it’s a losing battle, but it feels like the least I should do.

    I use universal android debloater to purge a bunch of garbage. I use adguard and mulvlad. I look for open source alternatives where I can. I pay very close attention to settings and permissions.

    I feel like there’s a lot you can do, but if you’re still using apps by Google and meta youre still giving away your privacy.


  • Having used DEX quite a bit over the years, they’re going to have major software issues if they don’t get developers to make their apps desktop friendly.

    • Many apps hate resizing.
    • Sub-par keyboard and mouse support in lots of apps.
    • UIs concieved to get by on small screens but don’t work well.
    • Lightweight mobile versions that don’t hold up to their desktop counterparts

    This could be good for a lot of casual users if they put the effort in to execute it well. It could also grow android tablet and phone sales. The idea of a single unified platform for desktop and mobile could be helpful for a lot of users. Especially if one device can do both.
