This is fantastic! Loaded on my konstakang android tv box, loaded the m3u playlist below and countless options

Just as a quick test clicked Pluto TV cult films and works fantastic.

Of course, will now need find and favirites will take time, but huuuuge for me as I refuse pay any streaming services

Nice easy GUI, thank you!

This is the only proper response if anyone still has a reddit account

Been running F44 Cosmic Atomic for months. Did have one show stopper (for me) bug, so rebased to Silverblue for a bit, then back again after resolved

But overall its been fantastic. Snappy, Kind of minimal, and honestly quite beautiful (for my personal zen, YMMV)

I do like the pace they are fixing items & introducing new features

At the height those of us who weren’t on there got mocked by f&f lol

Now we look like Nostradamus geniuses to them. For me it was just the trait of being a more private person in all things, no genius foresight,

Fully agree on your less is more stance

This is the good news, thank you

Migrated to Keepass shortly before the price increase ( not because of it) just for the reason of wanting my vault fully offline. Seeing these changes at BW still makes me sad, was a long time paying user & truly enjoyed it

Keepass is fantastiic, my vault is pretty static so just manually copy to other device as needed. And of course, have your full backup plan in place as with all things

Librewolf my faithful friend always

Yeah its like those sports headlines where they try vibe you up for some trash talk

“Player A had a perfectly blunt statement about Player B”

Only to read & find out they said Player B was great, such drama lol

All just rage bait everywhere, AI or human that’s the clicks plan

I use both same products, just manually copy to phone periodic as my vault is pretty static

Made the move from bitwarden not that long ago, actually a bit before their price increase (just timing not because of it). Nothing bad about BW to say, it worked great for me for years.

My motivation was wanting my password manager fully offline.

Keepass are fantastic programs, and actually now more pleased with my move after seeing some negative moves from BW I needn’t be concerned with

+1 for Keepass!

The e/os Advanced Privacy feature is very nice, great way to see which apps have tracker whilst blocking them. Same as running DNS filters but built in experience, easy to view

In itself LOS is fantastic but needs be combined with something like reThinkDNS or another DNS filtering option

Rethink on LOS is fantastic, in particular if you can do the whitelist method - block everything by default, and permit only that which you approve. Takes some time & effort but great control is the reward

I prefer layers, example LOS w/rethink DNS all going thru Control D or NextDNS with Hagezi lists enabled

Overkill? Perhaps , but I love the reporting , helps in learning what’s going on, and apps/sites to be avoided

Posteo has been fantastic for me, but no bring your own domain as some have mentioned a deal breaker if that’s your bag

Super cheap, unsure on any political stances but they embrace being green / sustainable so that’s usually a give away :)

Use it with betterbird and Thunderbird android just works great

Windscribe has Anonymous Account (Hashed Login)

Fairphone should focus on helping the Linux options move along, no need waste resources on GOS, just another android ROM

Long term android should die off in place of Linux but its a long road

Have UT running on a Nord phone, they have made good strides over the years, appreciate their dedication

Similar. Just months ago moved from BW to KeePassXC and android equiv

Nothing bad say about Bitwarden its fantastic & served me well, but wanted to go fully offline

Manually updating the phone is not nearly the deal I thought would be, as my logins fairly static & use my phone as little as possible for most items where logins needed

Of course each of us has separate use cases, but +1 for KeePass really like it

Years ago as I started research I literally laughed at loud at the thought of buying a google phone to… Degoogle!

Talk about an instant compromise of values! Haha!

Then I saw the toxicity of the GOS devs & their fanz & that sealed the deal

Best decision ever to run away from that group of nasties

Ahhhhhh, the zen life

Niagara was my fav for long time, love text launchers,

Olauncher  & YAM are nice similar open source alternative with no trackers  less permissions on fdroid.  :)

Clippy

Fantastic love to see it. No recommendations as you will find what suits your zen, Mint is loved by many

I comment to add a cheers for bailing on Amazon & not paying for streaming services. Did so also years ago, its a great feeling. Good luck!

Sure is. And if you ain’t surfing nasty sites, loading ‘free’ VPN spyware, crap AI dung & scammy apps it’s all good

Android OS is a very secure OS. Google recently moved their older devices to quarterly updates versus monthly. Are we now saying those older pixels (still in support life) are insecure because they could go 3 months w/o an update? In itself that move is telling & obliterates the marketing scare tactics used by some & some projects. It’s sad really.

Common sense and good online habits will take you further than all else

This is honeslty a shameful post. A personal rant with just a nasty agenda

People or projects attacking other privacy focused projects working on good faith intent to help us escape the duopoly are just sad. If a project doesn’t fit your personal needs, so be it, move on

As a whole we need as many of these projects to succeed & elevate as possible. Shooting at others because you got your feelings hurt elsewhere is childish and self-defeating for all. Last thing we need is creating a monopoly of privacy focused options
