I'll take a look at it. Thanks!

 

Greetings! For the past few weeks, i have been using Apple Maps for navigation. Only to realise that it does not have some specific places i go to regularly. And offline maps are just broken. And since i'm here, what are the best FOSS Map apps that have offline navigation? (i did try osmand and maps.me, theyre both paid)

 

So as you may know, iOS 18.1 and watchOS 18.1 is out. And i decided to updste both my phone and watch simultaneously. (They were both plugged in) The phone finished first, but when the apple watch finished, it stopped charging, and instead discharging. (it was plugged in). Well after i clicked on the battery percentage on the watch face, it odly says that its at 100%, while the watchface says 98%. Anyone encountered this bug?

It's the default one that ships with Xorg.

I do obviously know that avahi is bloat, but it's a dependency of PulseAudio, preventing me from removing it

Takes long to install software, slow, requires reboot after install. That's too much effort for me to handle.

Flatpak sucks in my opinion. What if i need to install something that is not on flatpak? The AUR exists too.

 

Greetings! Recently, i have ditched Windows for Linux. Why? Well, This all started with a Windows Update. I was working on a Discord bot, until my PC decided to restart without my consent. What was it? A Windows Update. I was like: "no big deal, ill just wait". Well, it was over 100+ updates. After all the updates completed, i saw the Windows 11 setup screen. Keep in mind that I was on WIndows 10 before the updates. Now at that point i really got angry. Like, I hate Windows 11. So then i went and completed the setup, and got met with ALL THE BLOATWARE REINSTALLED. So ofcourse, since i did NOT wanna use Windows 11, i backed up my data, and switched to the Secure and Free operating System, Linux. I went with arch, since i have used Ubuntu before, and it's terrible. And since i didn't wanna use any fancy Desktop Enviroments, such as GNOME, KDE, HyprLand, XFCE. I went with dwm. It looks very mininal and customizable.

Now that brings me to the question, What apps should i get rid of?

I know i did the same post like a few weeks ago, but for the sake of Privacy, i know Some apps contain Telemetry, and some Don't. But still.

I dualboot both Windows and Linux using the BIOS's boot menu. Linux installed on a seprate drive, windows on another.

Well as you may know, when you try running pyinstaller on linux, it packs the .py file into a linux exectuable, not a windows executable.

I use Huawei Health to sync my Workout Data from my watch to my Phone. I don't really know if i can get rid of it, as its the app my watch works with. (Huawei Watch GT 4)

I dualboot both Windows and Linux. I use windows just for pyinstaller and compiling, while i daily drive Arch Linux with dwm.

 

Greetings! So recently, i spent a few hours coding software. After i was done and i shut off my pc, i noticed both of the ethernet lights were on and blinking. Does this mean that Microsoft is sending data to their servers before the PC fully shuts off? I am scared that this might be the thing it does. How can i get rid of this issue? I have no idea if it's related to Windows or the PC itself.

Well, all my home appliences rely on Alexa. I do trust amazon as i had no issues with it.

About apple, i did opt out from diagnostic data sharing, filled my icloud drive and disabled find my iphone. Tho to be honest, i had this iphone for 2 years now and havent found a reason to switch yet. (iPhone 12)

 

 

Greetings! I have recently ditched google and went with privacy focused alternatives. Such as SearXNG, Invidious, Lemmy etc.

However, while i was using degoogled chromium, i cant install extensions.

Is there any way i can install extensions on Degoogled Chromium? (ik this isnt the right place to ask but eh)

Thanks a lot!
