This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Years ago, before I de-googled, I set the language in Android to "English (UK)" so the assistant voice would be British. The side effect of that was minor UI labels such as my "Flashlight" quick action changing to "Torch".

How did you de-google? I am fascinated by this because they're in everything we use, often unknowingly.

There's a lot of resources out there specifically for it. Depending on use case it may be impossible to 100% degoogle, but every bit helps.
