Yes. NewPipe is a complete, from the ground up implementation.

The Morphe patches themselves are FOSS, but they are patches on top of the proprietary official SoundCloud app, which ultimately still makes it proprietary.

So what you’re saying is that you’re using it before it’s cool…

Both KeepassXC on desktop and KeepassDX on mobile support autofill, passkeys, and TOTP. Syncing to mobile devices is handled by Syncthing (I use BasicSync on Android) and is quite seamless after setup.

Integration with mobile browsers and other applications is handled by the OS-level autofill service (at least on Android). Trusting a third party app that is completely open source and has a ton of eyes on it? I don’t see a problem with that.

Selfhosting is literally the entire point, since who more can you trust with your most sensitive information than yourself? And even if you don’t trust yourself with being able to keep good backups and following the 3-2-1 rule, you’re more than welcome to sync with a third party cloud provider of your choosing since the password file is fully encrypted.

Which is why projects like Nura are so important, which works to bring mainline kernels to phones, both modern and outdated, so that they could (theoretically) be supported until the hardware itself dies.

You should be able to use a 20 year old phone with fully up to date software just like how you’re able to use a 20 year old laptop with modern software.

Ultimately, saying that you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different from saying you don’t care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say.

Wamera has a nice ring to it.

TheMightyCat got it working in userspace, but it’s AI code.

GrapheneOS on devices that can run it, LineageOS on devices that can’t.

I’m keeping an eye on AXP.OS since DivestOS has stopped being developed.

That is, of course, if you’re only counting Android and not Linux mobile. If you are, then I’d add PostmarketOS to the list, though it’s hard to find a device that can be used as a daily driver yet, though the Fairphone 6 is very close.

There is also the chance that the PCB has more than 2 layers and the traces connecting the microphone to the next component (which could be BGA mounted, such as a pin of an IC) is inaccessable.

You can use a blacklight to see if the printed page has the tracking dots.

Also the chances of any kind of meaningful change happening from just one person rocking the boat is very small compared to if there was mass organizing, which is very difficult in the US due to a multitude of reasons, such as a car-centric culture, billionaires successfully propagandizing the public into blaming each other rather than the elite, global mass surveillance, active sabotage of any even remotely anti-capitalist organizational efforts, etc.

There are a few options.

• A repurposed PC or SBC running LibreELEC (which uses Kodi as its interface and sole application). If you plan on using Kodi, don’t mind messing with Kodi addons, and don’t need Dolby Vision or HDR10+ support, this is a great option. HDR10 should be supported just fine, though.
• A repurposed PC or SBC running a Linux distro with Plasma Bigscreen. Note that Plasma Bigscreen is still in beta and the app ecosystem is not very usable at the moment. This option also does not support Dolby Vision or HDR10+ (though it does support HDR10).
• A streaming box or SBC running the Android TV version of LineageOS without Google services installed. This will probably give you the most flexability and would be my preference. Some options will also give you compatibility with HDR formats like Dolby Vision and HDR10+ depending on hardware. This is my preference at the moment because it has the most robust ecosystem currently, at least until Plasma Bigscreen and Linux on TV becomes more robust. I use SmartTube for YouTube and Nuvio for TV and Movies, though Kodi and Jellyfin are also available depending on your preference.

I can see that, because technically speaking, an operating system can facilitate the use of an LLM. It would be nice if they could make that restriction more specific.

Duckstation used to be FOSS, but then the developer Stenzek wanted complete control over the project and decided to disallow forks and third party distributions. You can still find old versions that use the GPL license, though personally I prefer to use Beetle PSX with CRT shaders and no enhancements inside of RetroArch.

I’d bet every proprietary OS and firmware (or open source base OS with deeply integrated proprietary software, such as anything Google makes) has something similar.

For things like phones, an IMEI is already a permenantly attached unique ID tied to the modem. There is also a hardcoded serial number in most electronic devices.

I’m trying to figure out what the purpose of Nym is compared to a network like Tor or I2P. It seems to perform a symilar function, except it’s a paid product.

You could do client-side scanning instead while checking a signature of the client’s js to ensure that it is your code that’s running.

PipePipe has also been way more stable in my experience than NewPipe or Tubular.
