Can you point to any vulnerabilities in its source code as evidence for this?

I’ve tried to play it through twice and haven’t really been able to get much past Act 1. Only saw hope it ended a bit though a Let’s Play stream.

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.

Guns don’t kill people. Physics kills people.

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.

When someone first told me about Studio Ghibli I was told it was “like Japanese Disney films”. Went to watch a Castle in the Sky and quite enjoyed it. Then I watched Grave of the Fireflies. I kept telling myself through out watching it “it’ll get happier soon right?”… Pretty sure I just sat there for like 10 minutes after it ended.

It’s fantastically well done. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to bring myself to watch it again.

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.

I set this up on my Steam Deck when I first got it. It plays really well on the deck.

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.

No requirement to have your legal name in Signal. Though, I do wish it was possible to set a different name for group chats though. Happy to use my real name with friends and family, but would prefer an alias for group chats.

Took me a couple of times to get through it. For the same reason. Well worth it in the end though.

Ah, misunderstood your post. I think regular Signal still supports local backup. Doubt they’ll remove it when they add this.

Switching to Molly won’t necessarily give you free cloud backups. Someone will still need to pay for the storage costs.

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.
