I am trying to switch away from Lemmy.world after getting used to Lemmy to reduce the stress on their servers and add to the decentralized nature of Lemmy.

Not surprising. Who on earth at mazda thought people will buy a car with only 80 miles or whatever range

I do not have sandboxed Google Play. It is bare bones GrapheneOS. I wonder how much of a difference that makes.

Interesting. I have been pretty content with the battery life on my Pixel 7 running GrapheneOS so far

I'm not sure if you are running any custom ROMs but doing so should improve battery life as there is less bloat ware and programs running in the background. If you are not you could still try to debloat your phone as much as possible either by just deleting apps or using ADB commands.

Other than that you can have the battery saver on at all times, in settings you can configure it so that it practically never turns off.

You can go to every application and change the battery optimization to restricted (this will break some applications so you would have to put it back on optimized).

You could also turn off notifications for as many apps as possible, disable 5G if that is not a deal breaker for you, and turn off wifi/bluetooth when you are not connected to anything so it stops pinging constantly.

You could also turn off auto brightness adjustment and manually adjust it leaving it dark enough to see but not at max brightness. You should also change your phone to dark theme from light theme if you have not already done so, and change all applications to dark theme as well.

These should all marginally improve the battery life.

Another advice I can give is if you want your battery to be healthy for a long period of time, like 3 years, never charge your phone overnight where it maxes out to 100% charge. Try to keep it between 20-80%, and if possible this is controversial avoid using fast charging and especially wireless charging as much as possible. They stress the battery out a lot more than traditional charging which isn't good for your battery health in the long run.

I agree with this a lot. People can agree to disagree but from what I see religion has been the cause of millions of deaths and wars throughout human history, and still is.

I would go with Ecosia. Brave is a shady company that very recently got in another scandal. DuckDuckGo results are not good. And Ecosia also has a cool business approach of planting trees, that is if you disable your adblocker for them and let them display ads.

However, if you are technical enough to run your own searx instance, then that is gonna be the best when it comes to privacy.

Is there any way to download Fedilab for free outside of the F-Droid repository? I know they have the code on Codeberg but I could not find an APK file on there

I have noticed that at times when I log out (NOT shutting down, just logging out) Mozilla VPN signs me out completely. However when shutting down and booting up again it works fine.

I am very confident that this is a bug as I recently did a fresh install of Linux Mint XFCE 21(to encrypt it), yet the problem still exists.

Edit: I have it set so that it connects on startup both througu the application and through the XFCE startup applications
