I wish I had friends to use xmpp apps to text…I’m a whatsapp hostage

I love the mandatory Super Tux Cart anyone of us has installed but played like 4 times
Quite the kinky lineup; WiFiAnal, Wetter, QuickDic… 😏
Stop, you’re gonna make me cum
WifiAnal
I see you have freetube. Grayjay is also a great addition as it has plug ins for lots of sites
Unfortunately FreeTube and Newpipe never worked for me. Only NewPipe works, but I have to disable my VPN.
Lol. Last picture at the bottom third. “WiFiAnal” xD (Sorry, I’m childish)
Hey, that’s the only safe way to let others control your buttplug.
Try CoMaps instead of Organic Maps. It’s a fork because Organic Maps is starting to enshittify
I just ran the two apps side-by-side and barely found any differences other than some subtle UI changes. How exactly is it different? And how is Organic Maps being enshittified?
I haven’t been keeping up with Organic Maps updates to see if they differ but I’d assume they’re basically functionally the same, except for potentially Kayak results.

Thanks for the link. I just made the switch to CoMaps because I’m tired of enshittification.
The only Organic Maps controversy I’m aware of was the presence of certain closed-source elements on what they claim to be a FOSS app, and that the main developer refused to open up, then partially did, then backtracked and never fully released.
Maybe that’s what that user is referring to? Not sure.
Man, I had hoped they fixed the search.
Those apps are fictionally useless for me. Does anyone know how to use it?
You could add addresses to Open Street Maps
you mean comaps? Search is just a bit slow but not a big deal at all. I’d rather that than having Google spy on my ass everywhere I go.
Of course, I don’t mean speed, I meant the search format. On Google I can search for an address with the usual format of 123 Street, City. If I search that way on Organic/Co, it doesn’t pop up results the same way. I just never understood it besides being an offline map for my reference.
They said it couldn’t be done…
It still can’t be done 100% unless you make significant sacrifices to the usefulness of your smartphone…there’s plenty of really useful (and sometimes necessary) things with no FOSS or open source alternatives.
Not to mention drivers… many driver blobs are proprietary and if you can find an open source one, there is a chance it works partially or not at all. I have a spare phone and I’ve been hesitating between flashing either PostmarketOS (all FOSS drivers but without the android ecosystem) or LineageOS, or maybe both if I can achieve that.
Even if you fixed the issue with drivers…
…your modem runs it’s own firmware with a lot of extremely shady behavior, and you can’t touch that regardless of which OS you install. Even your SIM card can arbitrarily execute Java applets and fetch from the network without your command, but at least it’s somewhat contained. Your modem though, it can do a lot without your control and people like Qualcomm have been caught doing nasty stuff with it (plus, of course, giving the US the data whenever they ask for it).
This is why people like Stallman and Snowden often talk about teaching users how to use libre software on their computers, but rather than pushing for the same with smartphones, they tell you to not touch these at all instead. They’re fundamentally anti-privacy devices, built this way.
Of course I carry one, it’s fairly hard to live without a phone nowadays, but we must be aware of the impossibility of fully containing the data harvesting they do.
Attack surface who dis?
Whoa, I have like half of these, nice!
That is the way! Excited to flash my phone to LineageOS. Thanks for sharing the apps !
Quite impressive choice of apps, usually when I look at screenshots of privacy enthusiasts they look more or less like my own phone, and with you I share 3, maybe 4 apps only
That’s how my GrapheneOS phone is zero proprietary apps in the main profile and then my own separate Google profile. Essentially get to carry two cell phones with one device.
I nave ho learn how ho do these two profile things. How do u switch between them, and IS it on the fly?
Pull down your notification bar twice. In other words expand it all the way. There is a small person Inside of a circle icon. That is how you can select the other profile. It’s super fast and easy.
Then when you are done inside the profile. Hold the power button and select “Lock Out” and this will completely close down the second profile and put you back in the Main profile with the other completely shut down.
Downside is you wont get notifications in one area or the other from the opposing profile when it’s not in use.
An alternative that is pretty secure too instead of profiles is to do the same thing in Private Space. This is found in the settings under the Security tab. This WILL get notifications to your main profile and when you shut down Private Space all apps stop completely including Play Services. But it’s not as isolated as profiles
Wow, this is impressive. I had heard about profiles but never got into the detail and never really understood the benefit. So, a cool way of using this it to have a FOSS only space under the main admin profile and the build up a second “big brother” profile where I stack some annoying apps that in a way or another I’m forced to use like banking app and what’s app. When the “big brother” profile is shut down, nobody tracks you. Would that be correct? If this is true I’m here asking myself why on earth people are not harnessing this more.
What does maintaining a separate profile for Google stuff buy you? I’m familiar with GrapheneOS, but haven’t internalized the separate profile thing yet.
It keeps Google 100℅ seperate or vice versa.
Then when it’s locked down it shuts down play services and apps to complete non functionality.
Go into system and create a new user. Set up that user exactly like you would a standard smart phone. And any apps you have on your main profile completely open source. That way it’s 100℅ Google free
Got that part, but what throws me is, in order to install a Google app on that secondary “google” profile, don’t you have to first install the Google app on the main profile so that you can then push it to the secondary profile?
No… You just install the play store and play services on profile #2 via the Graphene app store.
Oh, I see. I must’ve misread a tutorial at some point then. I did not realize one could install an app directly into profile #2, I thought root had all the apps and then specific apps had to be pushed to the other profiles. Thanks for clarifying that.
There is a guy in YouTube who does this. Side of Burritos? He has Google play on his main profile and then has a degoogled account for the second profile and transfers all the play store apps to the second profile. (Essentially making it his main).
I don’t do that for battery purposes.
Fucking legend! I’m going to spend the weekend exploring these apps and see what changes I can make on my phone. 👍
