I tried before, but I made my life hell on earth. I only have whatsapp now because its mandatory. Since 2022, I only have lemmy, mastodon and unfortunately whatsapp as social media.

If it was that simple… I agree that we need to get off Meta, but this country runs on Whatsapp, if I don’t have one, I can’t even talk to customer service or talk to anybody really.

Living in Brazil without Whatsapp is hell, you lost 150% of you communication with the world and people just assume you’re a serial killer, because you don’t have social media.

The proof:

Got an ad for amazon on whatsapp just now. Fucking hate this company.

It just moved to gitflic and now requires a manual install on their .xpi file.

Clearly we need a post colonial world

Yes.

Pqp, fui descoberto.

My tablet draws 4.5w at peak, at low loads it draws almost nothing (x86_64 tablet), maybe it’s the design of the laptop/tablet, but mine just consumes the same even with waydroid on, maybe setting efficiency in the BIOS help, but idk. On windows it just consumes a power plant every minute, linux is just efficient.

Idle power usage is not a lot higher…

Waydroid is a android translator(?) for linux on wayland, it runs android applications in a translation layer (android has linux under it), so you can install a ROM (there’s a default one without google applications like google play services, but you can search a ROM with it) and run android applications like any phone with a custom ROM.

Edit: The tablet with waydroid running:

Waydroid with a ROM with GAPPS? I use lineageos on my linux tablet, a lot of android games run just fine.
