No, it’s not aliens

😩

Is she willing to buy a new phone and wipe it with LineageOS of GrapheneOS? If not, start off with FOSS alternatives to apps she already uses. Going with a full system replacement might be a make or break situation, depending on if she relies on NFC payment, or a certain banking app that doesn’t work.

If you can convince her to:

• Use Signal for messaging friends (and if she can convince her friends to do the same)
• Purchase a domain so she’s not locked down on her email address when changing email providers (I recommend Tuta)
• Avoid algorithmic control by only following subscriptions with the help of frontends like Newpipe for Youtube
• Avoid Spotify by 🏴‍☠️ or purchasing the music from Bandcamp
• Browse Droidify for any generic app she wants (music player, notes app, etc.)

This should help settle her in more. She could buy a used Pixel 8 and install GrapheneOS. Motorola also plans on releasing a GrapheneOS phone, so could be something to look forward to.

I can see a version of this where the government subsidizes the costs of recruiting entry-level

This isn’t programmer humor… post to the right comm like fuck_ai@lemmy.world

Perhaps you could pitch it to the Spanish speaking lemmings. The most active seems to be Chilean

The issue is that it’s a GUI and therefore stinky 🤢💩

I thought whitepeopletwitter is about dunking on white trash takes. This isn’t white trash 👎

Unless the only things you do are browse and use open source software, you’re out of luck. Even then, lots of open source software assume Linux and break on BSD.

In comparison, you’re not losing much when ditching an LLM WM for a non-LLM WM.

Some hardcore people will go all the way à la Amish, but most will do what they can that doesn’t disrupt their current lifestyle (pls don’t rant abt this im begging you)
