Victor Velten<p>I didn't <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Degoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Degoogle</span></a> my phone years ago just to re-enable Google services on it. I am running <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/CalyxOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CalyxOS</span></a> on it, but specifically chose it over <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GrapheneOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GrapheneOS</span></a> since I could only enable certain pieces of Google play functionality with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/microg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>microg</span></a>. Specifically, I only enable cloud messaging to get notifications for the few apps that need it.</p>
BramVanDriel<p>I am trying to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/degoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>degoogle</span></a>, one small step at a time. I have been using the browsers and search tools from <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/duckduckgo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>duckduckgo</span></a>, but I increasingly read bullish reviews about Kagi (<a href="https://aleph.press/ffac1c" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">aleph.press/ffac1c</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>), a paid search engine. Does anyone have experience, and is it really that much better than DDG? <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/kagi_search" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kagi_search</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dtv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dtv</span></a></p>

irobinc<p>But I could never get over how much I loved that Mi Mix 3.

It is outdated since 2022. Android 10. No passkeys, certain apps don't work as well, but surprisingly miui is better? Those features I missed from android 14; turns out I don't need them. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Degoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Degoogle</span></a> d as much as I possibly could without rooting.
