Anyone tried removing the FB app lately? I'm not allowed to on my Samsung anymore. I'll do it the unconventional way, but who do they think they are? Dingdash would never...
@xtian both. partnership I'm sure. Not sure which Samsung update caused it, but it definitely has to be a partnership.
@messenjahofchrist wow! really? i think we need to do a podcast about that. Facebook just alerted me that i need to confirm my account or i will no longer have access to BTJ FB page. They only did this after I deactivated my credit card linking to the BTJ FB page. What they want is more info. I refuse to give them my cell phone number and it ticks them off.
@sinbach yep, ridiculous. I am only using FB in the browser going forward. https://www.cnet.com/how-to/5-tips-on-how-to-keep-your-data-safe-from-facebook/
@messenjahofchrist I have an older samsung that did not come with fb. Can you or anyone admin. tell? It still works well. Have you tried those flashed cellphones with alternative oses like Sailfish? I was thinking of trying one.
@xixiangdong @messenjahofchrist that's pretty much the only thing I can think of. Alternative OS like Sailfish, LineageOS, etc.
I have bought 2 Moto G falcon 1stGen for 20 bucks each, unlocked bootloader and flashed a LineageOS-ROM from XDA Developers. I have a slim and fast system (Android 7) and still get security updates.
Bought a third one for the same price, did the same procedure and gave it to a friend.
Unbeatable.
@messenjahofchrist I am trying to set one device aside for goofle (hehe) and twitter, and another for less intrusive things
@messenjahofchrist is that thanks to FB or Samsung?
