This is very interesting, makes me wanna share my experience too, in my case between 2 different custom ROMs, but with the same phone:

• Lineage OS for microG but without device registration, cloud messaging and safety net disabled
• /e/OS which is essentially lineage os for microg + tracker blocker but with all the device registration, cloud messaging and safety net enabled

Both are rooted with magisk.

e OS would consume MUCH more battery compared to my previous installation of Lineage, so i was wondering if those microG settings can actually change this much, or if pheraps it is the tracker blocker or something else.. Another difference is that e/os has a more recent Android version than the version of LOS for microg i was using.

Was your Calyx install clean or it had Gapps or microg or something similar?

Just send them the new report on Nissan of the Mozilla foundation 😂

The vpn thing worked!

Thank you!!

How do you sandbox google apps in android?

Yeah the web version is cool but it doesn't give you the navigation and can't find your position, usually i wouldsearch for a destination in webview and open it in another nav, but that doesn't work well if you are by foot for example...

But that might actually be the case tho, because i don't get any position without my cellphone data active (only with GPS it can't find a position) that might explain why it gets so long sometimes.

Yeah but with graphene at least you can limit the permissions google maps has and treat the app like every other normal app, isolated and not able to grab informations if you're not using it, i wonder if there's a way to use it with an anonymous google account just like Aurora.

Yeah sure planning ahead helps, but it's difficult when everyone else you are with has a different workflow or if something unexpected happens..

I will try osmand again for public transports, but the problem is sometimes with the mozilla geolocation services (default in lineage) you get your position after 10 minutes (or you just don't get it sometimes) and it isn't precise at all, in my experience it was working well with car but by foot it just can't sort out where you are..

For the google phone it's not just the thing of giving money to google, it's also that i'm tired of phones you cannot unmount, change battery or other basic pieces like the screen, i would get a fairphone, but i'm not really sure the price is worth it.

I tried osmand, but was working even worse with finding my position and getting me to places

That's actually a good option, but i guess i would need to install Gapps and google geolocation service too, is it possible inside shelter?

It does work for maps, but doesn't get your location so it's not very good for navigation

If we're talking about value as a monetary system: yeah crypto is, bitcoin isn't

The problem really isn't the internet, the problem is how big techs, which have the necessary resources to build complex infrastructures, are dealing with it trying to costantlyincreaseing their profit, and that is son of our broken economical system.

I'm a strong believer that for changing the internet we'll first need to think about a new and different economic system, where there aren't central institutions printing money for nothing, and that, as always happened in history, has to start again by switching back to a deflatory system.

Now if i think about a deflatory economic system on which software can be built on i cannot think something else of Bitcoin, if lightning network is the layer granting micropayments on it, software built on lightning network can be what makes us detatch from this shitty web based on ads and unrestricted profilation.

It's still on its infancy but honestly i don't think a decentralized network more trusted than bitcoin exists worldwide. Installing a full node/lightning node with every internet modem ineveruy home would make the infrastructure for a completely different internet.

I've been seeing some projects built on lightning network like the impervious browser, it kinda vanished, much more work is still needed.

In my opinion that's what we would need to work for, we can't exclude the economic model from the internet because that's just how our society works and always worked, collaboration is needed to build something better togheter, and that most of the times requires and is facilitated by some form of economical incentive. But we need a different type of incentive.

What do you mean tor is not usable on normal internet anymore?

Anybody knows what happened to the impervious browser?

Yeah i have microg but some of the apps don't work very well either

This sounds like a torture

You just need to reboot it manually

Hugo, Jekill, Docusaurus, host on github pages, netlify. Buy a domain for 15$ per year.

Edge would ALWAYS get on the way with its stupid search bar widget. They tried to improve their shitty outdated piece of crap internet explorer that nobody was using and they ended up with a modern shitty piece of crap that is edge.

And this will work for google products only of for chrome as a whole?

Can you explain to someone not so tech savy what this means?
