Help me out, Fedi:

I have a brand new Galaxy A15 5G. I want to start using it, but there's one small issue, which is that it's a smartphone in 2026.

Ideally, I'd put a custom ROM on it. Last I checked, though, that's not currently an option for this particular model (SM-A156U1/DS).

What I'm looking for is recommendations for the best way to de-Google it/make it less of a privacy nightmare/etc. If I'm wrong about the ROM thing, that'd be good to know, too.

Boosts welcome!

These friend be puttin in the HARD YARDS. This tool is becoming a very powerful resource to help you #degoogle

It lists out all the apps you have and checks them against their database finds a record of it and lists that right out for you as #foss or #proprietary

If you disagree with the provided information I have found them to be very responsive to updates both in the app fir the database and in their issues on Git.

Old Sony Bravia + My Cloud + Private Streaming?

Old Sony Bravia + My Cloud + Private Streaming? - Lemmy.ca

I am so close to completely being degoogled, the last nail in the coffin is my tv. I have a very old Sony Bravia (over 20 years old), it has a Firestick to get access to Plex and Smarttube, these are the only apps I use. I also have a Mycloud server for Plex. I have heard you can stream through Raspberry Pi, but am an absolute beginner in this area and don’t even know where to start. - Which Pi do I get? - Can I get Plex and SmartTubeNext on it? - How do I set it up? I just need a start point, guide, tutorial, anything to get this last little bit of privacy interfering tech out of my life. Thanks!

Ich habe gerade von dem #Demoaufruf zur #Energiewende gelesen und bin dabei. Ein schneller Blick über eure Seite
https://erneuerbare-energien-verteidigen.de/
löst aber die Frage nach der #sozialmedia Ausrichtung aus! #diday, #UnplugBigTech, #degoogle ... sind in aller Munde und auf eurer #Homepage sind nur die #unsozialeMedien angeführt.
Geht da noch was Richtung #Foss, #Dezentralisierung, #fediversum? Ich fände das gut und passend!
