AntonioDa ieri pomeriggio sto provando ad usare giornalmente un telefono"Degooglato" (pixel 3a con LineageOS)Per adesso, le uniche "mancanze" sono le app bancarie, che vogliono essere legate solo al vecchio telefono e sicché o le trasferisco su questo o le lascio lì. Per il resto, sembra per ora che la batteria regga meglio del previsto.Ah, e whatsapp. Lì c'è lo zoccolo duro dei parenti e amici stretti. Quello difficilmente, purtroppo, riuscirà a sparire.<a href="https://livellosegreto.it/tags/degoogled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#degoogled</a>

Ojocle OlonamI was always surprised why there is not a way to sync <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/calendars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#calendars</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/contacts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#contacts</a> in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#android</a> without an app. Although there are FOSS apps that work well, I'd expect that such a basic feature would be something the OS would do out of the box, specially considering the OS already provides an abstraction for "accounts".
