Different handles is the norm as far as I know. Not sure I’ve ever seen one with buttons to change with a single handle.

This US didn’t order them to do this. The Swiss court did.

Mozilla made a local translation model for Firefox. I believe there’s a few free apps which use the model to use it standalone.

I still haven’t gotten to give it a full proper go. But Toolbx is designed to assist with development on immutable OSs. Let’s you do regular package installs for all the various Dev tools into a container. Can either install your IDE into the container and run it like a regular app, or use an IDE with built-in Dev Container support.

I played the demo when it came out. You got the option near the start of the game to either destroy the caretakers array or just use it to go home. I tried the latter, but I failed the check. Not sure if that’s guaranteed or if you can really get Voyager back home in a few hours of leaving.

I’m using Bank Australia with GrapheneOS and it works well. Does the Comm Banks builtin tap and pay work on GrapheneOS at all? Assuming they still have their own version, I haven’t been with them in a while.

That’s pretty much exactly it. Not much benefit for only one application. But I have multiple apps that all recieves notifications via UnifiedPush. My UnifiedPush client (ntfy) stays running in the background, the rest of the apps can go to sleep and get woken up if something haopens.

Is that with using UnifiedPush or the WebSocket notification method?

Signal uses Play Services for its push notifications. It does have a fallback method which maintains a connection to their servers to get message notifications. It requires changing some battery optimisation settings which might have some minor battery impacts.

Personally I’m using Molly which implements UnifiedPush for Push Notifications without Molly/Signal needing to run in the background constantly. Also swaps a few other Google dependencies (like location pins) with open source alternatives.

Having the second profile with Google Services is a good idea though. That was what I used to do before I shed my last few Google dependencies.

We all know all the cool kids are hanging out on GitHub contributing to Buttplug.io

I’ve just started using beets for organizing my collection. It’s relatively easy once you get the hang of it. Ease I suppose differs based on how organised/tagged your collection is currently.

You can install pretty much any user agent switcher extension on Firefox for Android.

I downloaded FossWallet off F-Droid last week for an annual pass I bought. It only supports Apple Passkey files, but if they offer Google Wallet they’ll usually offer that too.

They forked it

CoMaps is a recent fork of Organic Maps. So those two are pretty similar at the moment in terms of functionality. Osmand I would say has a lot more features and customisation options, but Organic/CoMaps is faster and more responsive.

I’ve seen posts by the GrapheneOS team about recommendations against using both F-Droid and Aurora. F-Droid had a decent sized list of issues they raised. One of the key ones they raised against both was that it added an extra person to trust. You always need to trust the code of the developer of the app. No way to avoid that. With F-droid you need to trust that their build system/infrastructure is serving you the app as per the developers code. With Aurora you need to trust the Aurora devs are giving you the app unmodified from Google.

There were other criticisms on F-Droid that they sign almost all apps with their own key rather than the developers. They do offer to serve apps with the developer keys, but it’s difficult to setup and not many apps implement it. Google Play also does the same thing though, so I feel this risk isn’t that big. Generally they seem to recommend getting apps directly from developers rather than via a 3rd party. They offer Accrescent in the GrapheneOS app store which is designed for this, just pulls files from Github AFAIK.

All that said. I prefer to get all my apps from F-Droid (NeoStore technically) and Aurora for anything without a F-Droid repo.

Glad to see it as a Flatpak. Looks like it’s an ed version though. Shows as v5 for me, but direct download from their website is v7.

How are you checking the size? Some tools will split file size based on the number of hard links. So a 10GB file may show as 5GB in folder A and the other 5GB in folder B.

Also, if you’re using Docker. Its crucial that your downloads and media directories are listed as a single volume. If it’s two volumes, it’ll copy rather than hard link.

The reason that Google got ruled against originally was that they were paying and offering incentives to developers to keep them from releasing their apps on other app stores.

Google also doesn’t support a user installing the Play Store themselves (and the required Google Play Services dependency). So phone manufactures have to choose to include it on everybody’s phone from the get go, or their users won’t be able to use it at all.

They do have e2e for emails. Any emails between Proton Mail users are always e2e encrypted, as are any emails others send you which they’ve encrypted with their own maio client. If someone sends you an email unecrypted (most email is), then Proton will encrypt it for you and put it in your inbox. They can’t read it after that, but there is some trust required that they don’t store/look at the unecrypted email before then.
