@unklebonehead

Yeah, this is the toughest area for alternatives :blobsad:

I wish it was like computers where you can just easily install your own.

@unklebonehead

As far as I know it's Android with a manufacturer's interface stuck on it?

@dahabakuk @libreoffice

Have you tried @cryptpad or @nextcloud ? They're pretty good Google Docs alternatives:

@carbontwelve

Protonmail is good, there's @Tutanota too

@libreoffice @nurinoas @mu

Thanks very much for that, I've added the link to switching.social's entry for LibreOffice 👍

@switchingsocial @nurinoas @mu LibreOffice from the website is great for home users, yes, but there are LibreOffice-based solutions ideally suited for organisations and enterprises: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-in-business/

I don't think GDPR benefits business interests.

I don't think the EU ban on phone roaming charges benefits business interests.

I don't think EU laws against money laundering benefit business interests.

But I would rather not turn this thread into a discussion of EU policies when we're just talking about phone battery standards.

@endomain @greenblue

If the standard has problems then obviously it needs to be fixed.

All I'm saying is having a standard is a really good idea.

@gingerrroot

https://writing.exchange is good, it's run by the lead developer of the blogging platform #WriteFreely

Write Freely is worth looking at too if your sister wants to write longer form pieces on the Fediverse, people can follow Write Freely blogs from Mastodon.

@endomain @greenblue

???

Whoever did it, standardising chargers is a really good idea.

It's environmentally crazy to make people buy a different charger for every device when it's possible to have them all run off a single standard.

@xzenor @libreoffice

The report was last November so I wouldn't expect anything in the news right now.

But even if the report was now, the media (and society as a whole) seems to be quite in denial about how widespread and dangerous this surveillance is :blobsad:
