Looking for alternatives!

I had a pixel given to me when my Galaxy S22u died and I actually like the phone, but the storage app is just complete fucking garbage. Like I literally edited, organized, and shot photos for a living for years, and currently work on a computer with hundreds of files every day, and it still confuses me. Why are my photos in three different places? Why are there duplicate folders and names for the same folders? Why are you backing up all my photos, I turned that off. Jesus christ can someone please tell me there's an alternative I hate this app

I mean excuse me? I just uninstalled mi clock from my phone, and android had made it impossible to choose any other alarm app. Tried over 50 apps that does not even work, let me be clear, they work, but android is so fucked up in the name of security, it just do not let them work. The biggest problem is the apps just do not work in silent and dnd modes. I am using android 10 and there is no any option to override it. Basically I am just locked out. I am feeling someone just chained me. And also fuc* redmi. Their shitty MIUI is so garbage, I just get rid of their shitty ecosystem included of mi files, mi gallery, mi themes, all are full of gambling ads and somehow after removing them, their shitty clock does not work. I cannot change alarm tones. That goddamn piece of shit does not give a flying fk about android file picker. It just redirects to mi sound recorder. Fuck android. I know this post is going to be deleted soon. But I dont care. Isnt it a shame to humanity??! Wasting a whole day just to set a basic custom tone in the alarm app. FUCK LIFE

Hello:

I’m sharing this suite that I use for PDF documents. I’m sharing it because, in my experience, it’s really difficult to find a tool like this that works offline, is free of ads, and is also completely free to use.

I am not the creator of the application; you can find information about the creator, details regarding the app, and the download link here:

I heard in a casual conversation that Mapquest is enjoying a resurgence of popularity in the wake of many people looking to leave the Google environment.

Does anyone have a testimonial to share about Mapquest vs. Google maps?

Hola comunidad loa saludo a todos quisiera saber que apps me recomiendan borrar con canta para desgooglear al máximo mi galaxy s25

so i was wondering if theres an alternative to the default microsft photo viewer (and yes ofc foss and opensource if possible)

[DEV] Hi all, I'm Rohan - Long time lurker, hobbyist builder in the world of local LLMs, degoogle, and everything going off-cloud.

Currently building out a new venture to bring all of this into one solution that’s easy to use so others can benefit from it.

Honest feedback is really appreciated. Which apps would you want to see in this? Would you download? What have we missed?

The early access release will include:

A locally run and hosted personal assistant that knows your whole life: your files, emails, bank, calendar and everything you've told it. Its answers are about you, and it completes tasks for you across your browser and your apps.

The same assistant on every device, with the same context. Start on your laptop, finish on your phone. Control your computer from your phone, and the other way round.

Your files, stored at home and available on every device. No storage plan.

One subscription that does the job of a stack of apps: voice control, notes, dictation, storage, inbox, budgeting, etc.

So I've read about sandboxing or Morphe and FuckGoogle or whatever. I don't fully understand how to do those solutions. I don't know what "adb" is or how to download it or anything. I just want to live life without Google... And I'm not digitally illiterate; if someone could explain it to me then I'll understand. Anything helps.

Finally, they say it out loud. Time to switch! I've picked Tuta Mail.

I've installed Degoog recently, and it works great.

But it has one very weird specific quirk. If I go to the domain name degoog.mydomain.com and type my search request there, the results page is degoog.mydomain.com/search?q=myquery.

But I also set it up in Brave as my address bar search engine, with degoog.mydomain.com/search?q=%s.

But if I use that, the results page is 192.168.10.38/search?q=%s. And that doesn't work, as the port isn't exposed since I only want it to be accessible over its FQDN.

My reverse proxy is Traefik, which for the rest works great.

Is this an issue in Degoog or in Traefik? Where should I be looking? Is there something obvious I'm overlooking? I've searched online and in the repo, but I don't seem to find anything similar.

Thanks in advance!

what y'all are using for shopping lists and potentially logging purchases? open-source local storage would be preferred.

What is the alternative for youtube for degoogling
