I'm on S24, and the way my device has been setup, there are no ads

Frankly, just switch the stock keyboard. It's 2026, this should be working on that ancient Egyptian joke of an OS.

If not, Apple users deserve this kind of behaviour where the user willingly signs off on their freedom

All that couldn be as simple as educating people that there is no such thing as "digital arrest".

You are just telling the whole world about the average IQ of an Indian and how they believe in foolish things like "digital arrest".

And an app doesn't solve that. Digital literacy is a need for today, but the entire country is getting the latest smartphone, with dirt cheap data and zero knowledge of how to operate and own that technology.

IRCTC is a private company. UPI isn't government either. Which e-filling portal is working nicely for you? My ITR was stuck for more than a year because some lame ass dev couldn't show proper error message other than suggesting that something needed to be done by my bank (which wasn't the case and only a year later did I decide to dig into th3 dev tools).

To praise Indian government is the most unlikely thing one should be doing for their mediocrity at developing things.

Same is the case with Aadhar, Digiyatra, etc. My government is hella incompetent at safeguarding data and privacy (unless it's their own data). And this app is 100% going to be a huge security hole on every device.

For me, ADB to the resuce.

Not a clue about what you're seeking. I'm using mailbox, and thunderbird as a client for my devices (android, windows, linux and macos).

It works. For E2EE, I have GPG setup on all of my devices. It costs me a little over €1/month for paid account as I use my own domain.

The experience has been good, and something I absolutely advocate for and promote.

Valid concern. I have been decoupling my dependency on Google for quite some time now

Good job! This is very promising

I'm sorry, but today I don't recommend Ubuntu to event people who are very familiar with Linux Distros. I'm personally using Debian Testing on my daily driver, and Debian Stable on my home server.

I started with Linux Mint, then Ubuntu. I don't remember which Ubuntu it was, but it had Gnome 2 and then later had fun with the Unity Desktop versions. When they started being the bully, I started distro hopping and then finally settled with Debian (because of my personal values as well). I can't trust a for-profit company to care about its users. Today I try to use as many FOSS alternatives and projects supported by community.

Ubuntu is no better than Windows 11 at this point. It's just lesser evil of two. Try something else, Pop_OS!, Linux Mint, Manjaro Linux, Fedora, etc. Plenty of good options out there. Debian too, if you don't want a solid stable long term OS.

I guess such interactive elements always show the current state of the system, and when they are interacted with, it changes the state it was in, examples: 1. Social media buttons for upvotes/likes/dislikes 2. on/off toggle switches for features 3. microphone/speaker buttons on desktop OSes

Okular. Okular offers digital pdf signing

Can't believe how many morons are at the helm and making decisions. This simple exercise should tell us how much trustworthy CNET is with their technical knowledge LOL

Hi, I get your point. Thus, whenever I'm looking for a product on amazon, I go to the website of manufacturer and try to get the intended product from there.

It can be a bit of hassle sometime, like having to pay for shipping or the delay in receiving it compared to amazon prime, or the option for return.

But apart from covering the shipping (which sometimes is okay for a product with higher value), I prefer to use the original website instead of Amazon. Few reasons being:

1. Genuine product 2. I don't want to help Amazon grow its huge empire 3. I want to support independent companies

So, hearing your comment, I'm glad I'm doing the right thing
