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.
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.
hi, what launcher and app are you using for the dynamic island thingy?
I hate the dynamic island thingy, Its part of hyperos 😭
ohhh, i nuked hyperos long time ago and have no plans going back
good luck if you’re trying to unlock your bootloader!!
I already unlocked and it was a hell of a fucking pain in the ass, I got magisk as you can see.
I can’t find any custom ROMs for my phone, there is a community build LOS, but I’m not sure if its stable or if I can use it for daily driving.
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…
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
+1 for Firefox Nightly with add-ons, anything else is sacrilege
Brave is a less than ideal choice…
I swear I saw the post and it had brave as #1 app and now it’s gone. I mean, good, but still…
Cromite is a much more secure Chromium browser. IronFox is a much more secure Gecko browser.
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…
Yikes. De googles but leaves the brave crypto scam browser installed.
One issue I’ve hit when de-googling is some sites/services/orgs/etc won’t let me change my email. So I’m stuck with google as long as I use those sites/services/orgs.
Can’t you opt you have forgot password or forgot email, then when it goes to validate you chose I don’t have access to this account?
I’ve changed some email this way
I have purchases linked to the accounts and they can’t be migrated to new accounts. Ie humble bundles, tutorials and educational materials. It sucks that there are services out there that are designed without the ability to change emails.
Well, tbh, they just use an email as a username a lot of times. As long as you note the old email address and password for an acct you should be good. Another option: Forward those emails with keys and other important info to a new address, or better yet, archive those all to a .PST (if you have Outlook for example) so they’re available offline.
Last but not least, stop using that old email, switch all important stuff over and leave the old dormant. I DO recommend a strong password update and possible MFA since you’ll seldom access it. But then you can disregard the old account and it exist for historical purposes.
With some, deleting and recreating accounts may work. Some may be tricky.
The less Google usage, the less data they get, the less they understand about who you are now.
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.
Swap out Brave for Fennec (Firefox fork) to stay away from Chromium perhaps?
Brave again?!
I’m not a big fan of brave either, Im currently using cromite, Brave is just there in the phone I font really use it lol
Same! Just moved to graphene and it’s great!
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.
Looks cool. What launcher?
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.
I recommend gadget bridge if you have a smartwatch and other bluetooth objets. One app to rule them all.

Voyager to surf lemmy
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
KeePass is awesome!
yes, I don’t have any money to pay for a VPN subscription for now but I am definitely switching my password manager.
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?
Good boy
