codo27 posted:Is Facebook Messenger still a massive battery drain if you let it take over SMS? 7 years of smartphones now I never paid for an app, not about to pay Textra to remove ads. Why not exactly? Have something against giving devs of good apps a couple bucks for using them over the years? Heck, you should be doing Google Survey Rewards if you already aren't.

Nova Launcher pro is a dollar. I didn't know launchers were still so popular but the Reddit thread regarding it is pretty hilarious with people saying how good it is and others asking what it is.

I don't know, the days for janitoring just about anything on my Android phones are long gone. The stock Google/Moto launcher works great and I haven't seen the need for a different launcher for years.

It's pretty neat we have a handheld device that is able to create some great looking portraits on the fly rather than having to take the picture and then spend some time editing it. A lot more interesting of shots too than just seeing the same pictures of people just with different clothes on each weekend lol

If anyone is looking for a non-rooted adblock method I just stumbled upon Blokada, a 3rd party, open source adblocker that uses the VPN service on your phone to block any requests to sites defined in the blacklists. It also can route you through many different public DNS servers if you think your ISP sniffs your traffic. I'm using a Xiaomi phone which unsurprisingly is calling a lot of requests back to its base even when I open things like the Settings app. Obviously I can whitelist anything that gets borked.

I only mention that because the dealer cost for the official upgrade is a bit on the crazy side. Aren't head units with Android Auto like $400+ anyways? Getting that plus a the manufacturer installing it is a pretty good price imo

Sort of related but every time I see an "influencer" on Snapchat using their phone I report them. Pisses me off. Just make phones the key to use your vehicle and insert it into a slot to make car go.

Been using Blokada for almost a year now. Other than the UI being kind of a pain it's a great app. Just turn it on and goodbye ads.

He's got needs like having to get some older folks using it so he's sensitive to bad UI. Outside of bank details would you still recommend Bitwarden? I've been on LastPass for like 5 years and have been curious about alternatives. I only need password management, I don't need banking details or CC entries.

Cardiovorax posted:Also, gently caress Blokada. Yeah, no thanks, I am not going to route all my traffic through some random app's personal VPN just to get rid of ads. Their new VPN thing is completely optional. The regular app functionality just creates an internal VPN on your phone that simply blocks access to whatever your blocklist is configured for. You can also choose one of many popular DNS servers to route through if you don't want to do it network-wide. I like it because it's pretty seamless hopping from wifi to mobile data. Sometimes it needs manual action but eh, it's free so

zzMisc posted:AFAIK there is no setting in Syncthing like that. If you haven't already you might want to verify this by deleting a file from your phone and seeing if it disappears from the server. Could you do something like send only or receive only? Does that prevent deletion from duplicating the other end? I like Syncthing but I still get confused with trying to manage several devices at once.

Fdroid is arguably much safer than most apps people put on their phones. I believe they also review many apps for malicious code but can't remember details. I've been using almost all Fdroid apps rather than Playstore ones. I can't recommended it enough.

lethial posted:Thank you all!! TBH, I wasn't even that much against ads, I mean they help to pay the bills for content creators, but the ads that "algorithm" like to feed to me seem to be from whoever that has the most money to spend and most to gain (as opposed to say things that benefit smaller businesses or organizations that are promoting common good); and given all that has gone on in the past couple of years, I am ashamed to say that some of them actively causes me to become anxious with feeling of despair . So now ad blocking is a bigger deal for me... (Or maybe I should just train myself by accepting all ads so that I am desensitized to them?...) I feel you, this last year has been a major adventure for me to try to find alternatives to big apps and companies and keep control of my privacy in better ways. There is a thread in IYG that is a good place to learn or post about if that's your jam.

Blokada is a super easy solution too. Piholes are awesome but one of those things that you gotta tweak a bit over time to get right. And if you mess up it will probably mess up everyone else on the network.
