For those of you with android devices, you can use the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) standalone app control program to get rid of all the bloatware, data mining, and AI crap - no coding needed!

There are also Android-based alternatives like GrapheneOS and LineageOS, which are pretty easy to install. These are unfortunately available for a more limited range of devices (Graphene is ironically Pixel only, while Lineage supports more), but it's very worth checking out whether one of them might work for your phone.

GrapheneOS: the private and secure mobile OS

GrapheneOS is a security and privacy focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility.

LineageOS Android Distribution

Typing this from Graphene now, in fact. But, both of those take the Android Open Source Project, without all the bloatware--and largely de-Google the whole thing. They give you much more control over privacy and what the apps you choose to install can do and access on your phone.

I know Graphene sandboxes everything, including the optionally installed Google Play Services which a lot of apps unfortunately require to run. (Lineage uses an alternative to Play Services instead.) So, you can install what would normally be unacceptably intrusive apps and just lock them away from pulling any funny shit with your data, or phoning home. Including the couple of Google things I do still keep around.

I also prefer running much more transparent, privacy-respecting open source apps where possible. Besides the transparency, I'd rather avoid the shitty tech corps entirely where I can. There are pretty good alternatives available for a lot of the usual suspects.

AlternativeTo lets you find apps and software for Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Android, Android Tablets, Web Apps, Online, Windows Tab

An alternative app store:

F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy

A HANDY CHART FOR THOSE OF YOU WONDERING WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THESE. NOTE THAT THESE ARE ALL THE INFORMAL AND YOU IS THE FORMAL SO LIKE YOU WOULD ALWAYS ADDRESS YOUR SUPERIOR/ OLDER PERSON/ SOCIAL BETTER WITH YOU BUT WITH YOUR BUDS YOU CAN USE THESE.

having invisible disabilities really shifts what your ideas of “personal information” and “privacy” and “dignity” bc u meet someone and you explain your situation for the past couple years with honesty and they’re like “wow.. it must be so hard to share that thank you..” and you’re like i mean yeah it’s just what my life has been.. and they give you the “😟☹️😅 yeah…”

[wizardpostsdotorg]

like just saying “yeah so i went through several doctors who didn’t know how to treat me before i found one hospital that would..” or “i have a suicidal and depressive episode once every four weeks exactly” has gone from embarrassing to common small talk with cowkerkers or receptionist. if i want people to have reasonable expectations of me i have to tell them all my wide open dirty little secrets. while it’s nice to be accepted/accommodated or at least tolerated i do wish there was more grace and privacy with mental health/mental disabilities.

you can say one thing and have some privacy and dignity but no real concern- “i don’t feel good today” OR you can tell the truth “i feel like killing myself today” and feel totally exposed/humiliated and at risk of something worse. you lie and become “flaky” or you show up and become “an asshole” or you tell the truth and become a “psycho bummer”. pick your perception: lazy or crazy. either way nobody knows how to treat you

show: "And with this incredible technology, these characters' consciousnesses are transferred to a virtual body." me when I have the chronic affliction: "Does the character's chronic affliction come too? Does it come too or does the virtual body cure it."

show: "This character is immortal. Watch as their entire destroyed body rebuilds itself via immortality." me when I have the chronic affliction: "Does immortality cure the chronic affliction? Do they come back together and the affliction is just fixed? Is that part of immortality healing?"

show: "In a cyberpunk world, people actually build new bodies and place their minds inside--" me when I have the chronic affliction: "Do they still have the affliction"

its probably a normal sign for the economy that all of my adulthood fantasies are like "imagine having your own kitchen living room and bathroom to decorate" "what if i could get on a train" "maybe one day i could purchase a sturdy pair of shoes" "i should save and invest in a single bicycle"
