Gmail, personally. Can’t beat it.

Otherwise, I’d like to switch to Proto for the security.

I think it’s a bit too early to monetize, but I haven’t used it yet.

I’ve been using Samsung for so long that I didn’t realize the rest of the ecosystem doesn’t have this.

Its so frustrating, because I end up backing up to both systems because each offer something different.

They’re the best Android phone, but not the best experience.

When it works, it works really well. I’ve had many of their Galaxy line up. I’ve even switched briefly to iPhone and came back to a Galaxy S23 Ultra, and it’s so so good.

On the other hand, their budget phones aren’t bad. I use one of their really old A lineup phones as a digital dash of OBD2 data for my car. That battery is just amazing, it stays charged for days, takes in the heat, and still operates no problem.

The only issue I have is support. They want to demand similar pricing to Apple, but if something break it’s pretty much go fuck yourself attitude.

It would make sense that they’d say this. iOS blocked Meta from being able to advertise, and there is a lot more customization on Android.

His opinion is clearly biased in this matter.

I fucking loved Windows Mobile OS. I want my tiles back.

Oh I remember that with Nokias. It’s like shock absorbing for cars lol.

Hello.

Thanks for making this post and letting us know with transparency what’s going on your mind and with this community. :)

I do have a question with you being a moderator: @SpezCanLigmaBalls@lemmy.world posted here regarding communities with abandoned moderation. I’m starting to encounter that as well. This comment mentioned reaching out to the mods, and I’d hate to do that when that isn’t the path forward.

Can you write a guideline for mods in this instance so that we know how to resolve issues going forward? This will help with this instance maturing as we go. :) Maybe a mod only community where we can communicate with the instance owners/mods?

iOS is not private, it’s secure.

Private: Only you can see it, the servicing company does not. In the case, Apple not only sees your data but sells it too.

Secure: The data is protected from unwanted access by 3rd party vendors.

These are rough definitions though.

Not sure if this makes it “private” but here is what I use:

• Firefox with extensions.
• Proton VPN, Calendar, Drive, Mail.
• Bitwarden password manager.

Yeah it’s pretty great, really smooth. I guess that’s part of the experience. I’ve just been enjoying it, without realizing that it may be adding to the experience.
