Can I restart my life at 6 with $10 million in Google stocks?

Not on all of them

what a joke

In the past, you had to buy the book. Or go to the library to read it.
Both of which you can still do. And with a library membership you can access the web version as well.

How else do you expect the authors of the dictionary to pay their rent?

Lot’s of people saying that missing fonts can be an issue if you don’t specifically embed them into the PDF.

Judging by the other answers here, it doesn’t seem that straightforward.

Don’t disable anything labeled as “Google”

You’re not my mom!
(Seriously though, when I get a new phone I basically search for “google” in Universal Android Debloater and uninstall everything that pops up and isn’t in the “unsafe” category.)

Can only speak for Germany: Tips are kind of expected in sit-down restaurants with wait staff. Not tipping sends the message that you were unsatisfied with the service, and can lead to a second of silence before you’re handed your change and receipt. A 10% tip will have the waiter thanking you enthusiastically, and the normal range is somewhere in between (round up to the nearest sensible round amount).

I just make sure I don’t have any important data.

A Hemi engine has a hemispherical dome, which was a new design that increased efficiency and power output over others, in 1901.
Chrysler popularized the term for their engines in the 1950’s, and the name has a positive image in some circles because Chrysler-built Hemi engines were used in WW2 fighter planes and NASCAR racecars.

It’s not mundane at all, though.
Saying it implies that it needs to be said, as if in mainstream opinion it was not OK to be white.
It pretends there’s widespread racism against white people.

So exactly what far right racists believe.

It’s become unwatchable with ad-block, too.
For me it still works (Germany, Linux+Firefox+ublock), but page loading takes forever, and knowing that that’s intentional just makes me not want to use it anymore. Feels like there’s a bouncer telling me to wait in line for watching a video.

Zero ads is the norm for me.
Also, zero YouTube.

AI will fix that. The photo picture might not have anything to do with what’s in front of the lens, but at least it will be pretty.

RED ONEZ GO FASTA

You have to reinstall Signal after uninstalling play services. Then it detects that play services aren’t there and sets itself up to receive push notifications without it.
But to be on the safe side, I’d install Signal-FOSS instead which has no Google dependencies at all.

Desktop OS (Windows or Linux) support any version as long as the PC is powerful enough.

Windows 10 will stop being supported next year, and Windows 11 can’t be installed on old computers without regedit trickery.
32bit support was cut from most Linux distros.
So while it’s true that desktop hardware is supported a lot longer, it’s not supported indefinitely.

There’s a misconception here. Unless you can control what code is running on it, you are not the owner.
This is what the FSF warned us about.

After MUCH trial and error I’ve found a way that works for me to degoogle any phone without root or a custom ROM.
I use the universal android debloater to uninstall all Google apps including play services, play store, default dialer, SMS app, files, camera, launcher, etc. If it’s from Google, I don’t trust it.
Basically I search for “Google” in the tool and remove everything that shows up, except for apps in the Unsafe category (those are core parts of Android like package installer, network stack, permissions system, etc).

The removed apps are replaced with alternatives from F-Droid. I use the entire Simple Mobile Tools suite, Fennec, Organic Maps, and K-9 Mail.
All my messenger apps (Signal, Telegram, Threema) have FOSS forks that receive push notifications without Play Services if you install them AFTER degoogling.
Location fix is slower than with Google, but good enough for using it as a GPS while driving.
Many apps that require Play Services can be replaced by Fennec web apps.
All in all, functionality is more basic than with Google (no text to speech, no speech to text, no AI assistant, no cloud stuff, no commercial apps), but I actually like it that way.
The only thing I’m genuinely missing is Gboard.

If you don’t notice an issue, there is no reason to replace the battery.
But if Google now puts a fat “your battery needs to be replaced” notification, those users who didn’t even notice an issue are driven to buy a new phone out of fear their phone will explode.
