Thank you for the home.
That is correct, currently, moving to a linux phone will lose you more than what you're losing with Google and Apple changes.
Apps are just part of the problem. Running a full linux OS on a phone with all the normal mobile phone capabilities is also an exercise in frustration. Taking Ubuntu Touch as an example, the OS has been around since 2011, was released in 2014 and it's list of approved phones is still minuscule. If you're a person on VZW, that list grows even smaller as VoLTE is problematic enough to be considered impossible to get working reliably.
I truly hope that the linux phone landscape shapes up but in it's current form, it's actually losing ground as it's development is slower than the hardware development and at it's current rate, will never be a viable option.
There are no realistic linux options for your phone. These memes are pipe dreams by people that haven't actually looked at how utterly incapable linux currently is at powering a smart phone for normal daily use and how these apps that they're complaining about android and apple are removing won't run on the linux phone in the first place.
I turned my expended at4 into a floor lamp.
BOMBSHELL FACT: I DON'T WATCH CLICKBAIT CONSPIRACY VIDEOS
Unfortunately, there's not enough info to help without risk of mistake. Do you live in a single home structure or shared(condo, apartment, duplex, etc.)? What's the age of the structure? Is your breaker panel on either side of the wall you're working on? Is it an exterior or interior wall?
When you say stud/wire detector, what do you actually own? There's no device I know of that combines voltage detection with a stud finder, so I'm guessing your device is a stud finder marketed to also find other buried elements.
If you're working with a traditional stud finder, a lot of things can give off a false positive, like insulation, lath and plaster construction, pipes, a second skin of drywall and even an exceptionally thick coat of compound.
To have the best chance at not messing this up, I would suggest making an inspection hole. You can either purchase a cheap boroscope cam that you connect to your phone or laptop and make small, easily patched holes or a larger hole to insert your phone. If you can remove your baseboard and replace it, you can hide the holes behind the baseboard without having to patch them when you're done.
Depending on the age of the structure, you can often make assumptions on how the wires are run in the cavities but you don't want to risk hitting something important.
An unexpectedly great song.
As a DAV, please don't. It's no better than soccer moms driving around with matte black American flags all over their 4Runner or Wrangler. You are swaying absolutely nobody.
If you want to help the DAV out there, donate to the community, give some time to the VA hospitals or retirement homes, help those that have fallen on hard times. Simply wearing a shirt in a particular location will make not the tiniest bit of difference in any of our lives.
You could make a sandwich in your lap and it wouldn't be as distracting as scrolling social media on your phone.
The goal of the community longer term is indeed to provide options and discuss alternatives. I'm currently working on a db script that will allow interested parties to look for sites like forums that aren't owned by companies like VerticalScope, searching by things like categories, phrases(like "volkswagen" or "home improvement") and adding sites that aren't already in the db.
Unfortunately, I learned years ago that Lemmy is not a place to be if you want community assistance unless you're one of the 5 saturated categories so unfortunately, barring anyone else providing any relevant content while I work on it, it's going to take some time so I've been cross posting relevant topics while I work.
So like you said, "be the change" but... well, we both know how that works out on the Fediverse :)
Beware of what? It's no different than any other instance and capable of being subscribed to, scrolled past or blocked.
Stop advertising for them and let them have their federated echo chamber, just like the communists, socialists, leftists and others have.

My wife loves them but the 31$ pricetag for lobster on a hotdog bun boggles my mind. The last time I bought two for her, I accidentally laughed out loud when the tip screen popped up for my 62$ bill.
