I LOVE F-droid.
suggest me any more cool apps I can get.
UPDATE: Got rid of Brave 🙃, I wasnt using it anyway but here you go the updated list.
The most important steps are moving the chip industry to europe, producing sensible meaningful hardware that is compatible with OSes other than Google and Microsoft, and then install proper applications on them.
Brave is a less than ideal choice…
Cromite is a much more secure Chromium browser. IronFox is a much more secure Gecko browser.
I swear I saw the post and it had brave as #1 app and now it’s gone. I mean, good, but still…
Read the description, I edited the post, should I make it more clear though?
De "futo"ing would be a good idea as well. Them being associated with Curtis Yarvin (literally their peer tube) who is a piece of shit close enough to elon musk and thiel.
Lou’s Rossman’s right to repair work is great. His ability to recognize and not associate with some of the shittiest people and groups has become legend. (Kiwi farms anyone?)
Good to know. I just decided to try a gboard replacement and heliboard does pretty well.
Yep, heli is what I’m using ATM. They are generally pretty solid and I haven’t heard anything to recommend against the project. In fact they’re completely voluntary and opt-in data collection to build their own swipe typing Library sounds like an awesome initiative and I hope they succeed with it.
Agree on heliboard. No issues here.
Atleast its better than Gboard lol,
any good alternatives? I’m so bad at typing in a phone my accuracy is pretty bad, I barely use my phone and I’m always on my computer that’s probably the reason.
I’m using heliboard at the moment. They offer swipe typing through the Google libraries currently. But are exploring a data collection process completely voluntarily to build their own swipe typing libraries.
I did like futo’s voice typing input method. It’s recognition was generally right up there with Google’s. Although there were certain words it frustratingly and consistently got wrong no matter how specifically I said them. But the fact that it could infer punctuation rather accurately where Google won’t even try was definitely nice. Unfortunately I have not found a truly viable replacement for that sort of input yet. I definitely believe that sometime in the not-too-distant future there will absolutely be a Foss local solution. But I don’t believe that futo’s solution is trustworthy enough to believe that it was local Etc.
Yikes. De googles but leaves the brave crypto scam browser installed.

Magisk twice is killing me.
I have 2 root 👾
An actual answer for the browser instead of just shitting on Brave would be IronFox (hardened Firefox), and the best place to get it would be the Accrescent app store.
But for real don’t use Brave…
Obtainium!
They have new community-suggested install methods for difficult-to-get apps like Proton Calendar and Proton Mail. Usually, you’d only be able to get those from the Play Store. Obtainium lets you install them directly from their Github repos.
I do use obtainium, I think I forgot to include it in the homescreen.
Brave is a chrome based browser. There are a lot of Firefox forks (and no I dont recommend any because I dont wanna get into a fight…) you van and should use instead.
Otherwise great start /good choice!
How dare you not validate my decision to use Fennec/Mull/Waterfox/Iceraven/IronFox as the one true FireFox fork.
Conversely, how dare you suggest that stock Firefox/Nightly with the right add-ons is not good enough?
People these days…
+1 for Firefox Nightly with add-ons, anything else is sacrilege
We can Start a civilized discussion about, why you are wrong on every point in your post, right after you acknowledge templeOS as the only right ROM on your Phone!
The audacity… Tsk…
P.s. I love it how eveny when i tried not to offend somebody, you found something you could feel offended about :D
Librewolf and waterfox over brave
It’s android, Fennec for gecko or Vanadium for chromium
What’s gecko? Better?
Gecko is the browser engine developed by Mozilla and used by Firefox.
It’s better for adblockers, since Google blocked access to features used by them in chromium.
For a performance comparison check this out.
From a security point of view, Blink/Chromium got more people working on it (Google, Microsoft, community, etc.) so potential vulnerabilities get fixed faster but by being way more popular, way more vulnerabilities are found regularly and exploited in the wild.
Im currently using cromite for chromium
I don’t really use brave, as you can see I also have cromite, I just had it.
Sweet! May I suggest IronFox instead of Brave? https://ironfoxoss.org/docs/installation/
It’s obviously degoogled chromium so who cares, but there are all these reasons: https://thelibre.news/no-really-dont-use-brave/
Also, these are my initial impressions: https://programming.dev/post/47806969
I thought I had IronFox installed but it was fennec, but now that I’m trying to install ironfox—
Hm… Are you perhaps on iPhone?
what 😭 how can you possible get any of these Foss apps let alone F-droid in an iphone?
No idea. The settings icon looked a bit like the one from iOS. 😅
Companies like Xiomi are always on the move to rip every bit off from iphone for some reason.
Molly is a hardened signal fork. Not sure how folks feel about it but I have no issues.
Same! Just moved to graphene and it’s great!
Looks cool. What launcher?
Lawn chair off aurora and dollphone icons off f-droid
I dislike the ai slop tentacles bg
Fair. I didn’t realize it was ain’t until you said so, I just like tentacles as an aesthetic.
Beautiful.
Can people use tailscale without single sign in. All the SSOs I saw were fascists corps.
It definitely supports self-hosted oicd providers like Authentik and Ophelia. If either of those are problematic I’d like to know, but they both pass the sniff test so far.
Yes you can login without SSO to tailscale
that’s true
Would be nice if we could…
Swap out Brave for Fennec (Firefox fork) to stay away from Chromium perhaps?
Good work! You should work on switching away from Proton’s apps/services next, as their CEO has indicated his support for fascists, and they have repeatedly turned over VPN logs when nation-states come asking.
I use Mullvad’s VPN and KeePass DX + Syncthing for passwords
I’m still not convinced that the CEOs comments conclusively prove that he’s on board with the fascists, but I did find it aggravating that Proton sent emails to my gmail account saying that I had new emails from specific parties. How tf is that private?
yes, I don’t have any money to pay for a VPN subscription for now but I am definitely switching my password manager.
KeePass is awesome!
