If it’s only for you, have you considered Holos Social? Self hosted in your smartphone

They enshittified the search so now using the chatbot is more useful. The search just returns slop and even fake slop forums.

Because they are manufacturing consent for closing the platform, calling installing apps from other stores “sideloading” and hiding the options behind “SUPERDUPERDANGEROUS” warnings, making you wait 24h for literally just installing software on your own phone. They know 99% of people won’t even bother. It’s obvious what they want to do, this is a step back because of the outrage, have no doubts that they’re gonna keep pushing it

Just get a refurbished/second hand one, many are as good as new

If I had to change phones now, I’d get a second-hand/refurbished Pixel and wait until the motorola devices take on. Fairphone is nice but lacks in security. The high price is only because of the “fair” small-scale production, the specs are quite mid for the price. I say this as a fp owner, I’m happy but if I had to choose again I’d go about it differently.

I don’t disagree but this still happens in non slop open source projects
