And how it's done in Japan if friends don't help?

[-] Newhere@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 hours ago

Same way works in eastern Europe. And especially if you give away furniture to get new one,you can ask person who gets your old stuff to help you to bring a new stuff. As a female, this always worked for me.
Only once I paid something like 50 eur for sofa delivery, because it was during week that I had to pick up from private on certain time and friends were working.

Hey dear smart community, I don't use any Google products or services over 3 years now. Always had android and used fdroid. No apps for banking ( cash lover). Osmand for maps. Extremely happy to find this app for socializing with like minded people. Now I feel time has come to upgrade privacy and security and custom ROM phone. I am considering if getting pixel8 and installing GOS. The only issue is,that I have 0 (ZERO) knowledge about how to do it. I have looked many videos and read on websites how to do it,but I am so afraid that I will not be able. I don't know if that is right to ask for assistance from people here,but I don't feel like I am capable of doing so. Plus,I have samsung which I would like to prepare and give my friend to use. Unfortunately, that person in immersed to Google world ( internet banking apps ect). Do you think LineageOS could give more protection and same smooth usage of phone ? I will appreciate any suggestions how to custom ROM phones. Best wishes to all.

How much I agree with you!!! Unfortunately, i don't have this kind of knowledge, oh I wish I had ! I am not even capable to custom ROM to Lineage Os or GOS.. in my circle of friends they are all drawn in Google and not seeing any problem at all. I wish I could be supported during process of customizing OS. I think I already do a pretty great job being with any Google app or service last 3 years, though.

Can I ask what you mean ? I am think to get GOS, so what is the story about social media person?

[-] Newhere@lemmy.ml 1 points 21 hours ago

What a good point!!! Never thought about it. You just leveled up my IT security.

On my Samsung I don't have G account. I use only apps from Fdroid or if I really really need anything from Gplay, I get it from Aurora... and I am blond, just learned about open source and installed Ubuntu on PC. Not me of course, IT technician ๐Ÿ˜…

Thanks for your comment, because I really want to get pixel and custom ROM with GOS, but I am soooo scared to ruin something. Never done anything like that... I was even looking for IT specialist who could do that,but no phone service stores does it. I have read manuals how to do it, but still self-esteem is missing as I have know knowledge about it...
