      Try Anki instead of Duolingo. You'll learn fucking nothing from it.

      Also move all the proprietary software into a work profile with Shelter (available on F-Droid) just like I did.

      I use Lingodeer instead of Duolingo, in combination with Anki.

      These kinds of apps are useful as a starting point but they're not going to get you fluent and they'll only barely get you to beginner level. Plus Anki is kinda complicated especially if there isn't a suitable shared deck.

        Yes it is. But WhatsApp encryption is a joke. Whenever someone is doing a backup with WhatsApp inbuilt backupplan all messages are stored unencrypted in the google cloud by default (WhatsApp and Google have everything in clear text). You can make encrypted backups but they give you a very long key with a warning so nobody does that! When you chat with someone on WhatsApp you can't see that.
        I don't use SMS for sensitive stuff but thinking WhatsApp is secure and E2E is a joke.

          You could try https://delta.chat/ instead of WhatsApp

            Indeed, but it preserves the ethos of being open, while the other does not.

              (I reposted this bc some applications were missing.) I had to install some apps because of school. Btw, can you say improvements that I can make? I can't install anything that isn't from playstore.
              Edit: Duolingo is now just a PWA

                A great step that will solve most of the junk problems that I see, is to move to a custom rom.

                  That's why I went to the next level and switched all of my devices, sites and accounts to German.

                      Works via adb. What was it's name, Universal Android Debloater? (set to disable instead of remove first). Btw, you can't remove the play store itself, causes bootloops. Just keep it frozen. And only disable what you're really sure about.

                      And Organic Maps is a good replacement imo, or Osmand for more complex needs.

                                Amazon app store actually was just killed for non-Amazon devices a couple months ago.

                                Ok, I heard about their app store being closed, but I thought it was for all devices, not non-amazon devices. Thanks 👍

                                  Nothing I didn't really know in the article, thanks for posting though. I know Naomi Campbell pushes Brave pretty hard. Any thoughts on that?
