starting the process of reworking my gaming page. Adding sidebars for info about my builds, favorite games, how to friend me on steam/xbox/playstation, etc etc. Also gonna rework the main content into a gallery of covers with a separate page for each addition if I wrote anything up about it!

(I also need to find the right balance of privacy vs features for my own use, but they're more urgent about wanting to find a solution)

There's a decent amount of settings you can switch off to disable Google and Meta from tracking and gathering certain data from you :) I find it so frustrating that all Android phones are just Google now. Even the Photos app on my phone is Google, no just generic stock app.

Earlier this year I was able to get a refurbished Pixel7 for $200AUD, still is a chunk of money but oh man it's been worth it.. The best to do is switch off all the location, analytics and what not.

They're also looking at replacing their phone and getting a Pixel, but money's tight. Figured I'd try and pass along a stopgap between now and then.

Unfortunately my work requires an official build for reliable RCS chat and some authentication stuff. I ran into issues trying to use GrapheneOS a few months ago. I've opted to use Fennec (Firefox Linux the AI stuff and better privacy) and use the browser instead of apps for as many things as possible.

There are a few dumb phones running KaiOS. It doesnt have a lot of apps, but covers most of the main stream ones. I never used one, just going by what I've seen online.
Lately my anxiety has started waking me up from sleep too early and then making me unable to fall back asleep and also have uncontrollable chills. What fun!
@tabf5 yaaay
Any weird anxiety tips that work for you guys? I accidentally discovered that wearing wristbands really helps me, like normal sports sweatbands. ¯\(ツ)/¯ If I'm wearing the long ones my family asks me what's wrong haha!
Anxiety is so ass. Just be careful with panic attacks and try to not fear them too much. It’ll make it worse if that’s what you’re experiencing. With my panic disorder, I had to let the panic happen while also telling my brain that I didn’t need them to survive the bear chase it thought I had been in. Make that anxiety a lil guy that is overworking themself
