I would love to - but I don’t have any! No Google account. 🤑
Some subscriptions at #Peertube I have.

What smartphone to buy: A device that is produced #fair an designed #repairable. Such as #Fairphone or #Shift. I for one prefer the Shift6mq because it still has a headphone jack.

What CustomROM to use: depends on your choice of HW. My number one is #IodeOS followed by #e_OS.
You can even buy devices new or refurbished with /e/OS or iodé already installed at murena.com or iode.tech.

But you still get adverts, don’t you?

No, not “for the asking” but only on court order. And they even challenge those, see transparency report.
And targeted advertising be the lesser evil? I beg to differ.
Google combines everything they know from tracking you. And that’s a lot if you don’t fight against it. I for one had two evil experiences with them: (German):

And you have nothing to hide?
Oh well.

There is already: NoScript and predefined lists. Or Pi-Hole.

With Apple you get tracking and surveillance built-in. The Android world has clean custom-ROMS.

But that is not FOSS and it contains 3 (three) trackers from Google!

@Gooey0210 @promitheas
Maybe try NO versions of Facebook

I would suggest to ditch #META for good.

@filister @ininewcrow
That’s right, no double standards.
Ban TikTok AND ban #META entirely!

@iturnedintoanewt @otter Yeah, that must be the famous “price for progress”. 😜

@noodlejetski @LWD “one of the best phones”? I beg to differ. Are they produced fair? No. Is the battery user-replaceable? No. Does anyone have control over the proprietary BLOBs still necessary? NO!

@peregus @hellfire103 Yes and no. Yes: Some poorly programmed websites require JS. No: Nonetheless you can employ NoScript to fine-grained block JS from evil domains. No harm is done when you allow the main domain (if necessary) but block crap such as doubleclick or google-analytics as “not trustworthy” (NoScript language).
