As the database is encrypted in your device, you dont really need to self host. A keepass database in the Google cloud is not really problematic, although you should still choose a more private cloud provider.

Proof by intimidation

For me nextcloud was the biggest gamechanger. A raspberry pi and a SSD and suddenly I didn't have to store anything at Google drive anymore. And it's really beginner friendly, especially when using NextcloudPi

Snowflake is different though, because you just forward encrypted traffic from users into tor. Your just a bridge from one network into another and don't send any malicious data data to random servers. Only the exit nodes have that legal issue.

Three years ago I made an issue on their feedback page because the android app doesn't really work on degoogled phones, it requires gms for notifications. Still not fixed.

Nice privacy focused App that can't fully be used if you take privacy seriously.

Meet our new president, hes also controlled by Big Tech, but doesn't need to play golf every week.

Just so that everyone knows:

Dont download patched apks from the internet. Instead, install the patcher from github and a vanilla youtube APK to patch it yourself.

There are no official sites providing revanced APKs and the unofficial sited may contain unwanted software.

If god wanted me to believe, the bible would contain anything provably right. Or at least not so many ridiculous and obviously false claims.

He makes crypto sound way cooler than it is

GrapheneOS is popular with degoogling, but that's not its primary goal. If there is a tradeoff between independence from Google and security, they will always choose to increase security.

GrapheneOS is also probably the only custom rom that cooperates with Google to get access to vulnerabilities and patches before the embargo is lifted.

If you want to be completely independent from Google, GrapheneOS is not what you're looking for. Its it's a security focused os that also has some degoogling features, not the other way around.

Oh no, wouldn't anyone think of the billion dollar companies? The Chinese are stealing the models that they have spent so much effort on getting all the training data. What a shame.

Sounds like a good candidate for an Ig Nobel Price.

Protons mobile app doesn't have an independent push notification service. If you're not using Google play, you will not get push notifications.

Not the end of the world, but may be a deal breaker for some.

Its all the AI safety peoples fault, stop expressing your concerns and start blindly trusting us already. /s

Autodesk is evil. They buy out all the competition, kill any perpetual licensing, increase the prices and then kill the project when all the value is extracted.

For what. Thats a lot of effort for a small userbase. And most importantly a userbase that doesn't see Google ads. Custom hardware is expensive and doesn't provide much additional data for most users and provides unprofitable data for degoogled phones.

Google doesnt spy on us just because they are evil. They spy on us to sell more expensive targeted ads.

Cookie autodelete has whitelists, optionally different per container.

That you're even suggesting this tells me that you don't use tor regularly. Many clearnet sites dont want to be accessed through tor and will just block you. If you encounter any recaptchas thats basically a dead end. The time from opening the browser to having a fully loaded site is minutes.

If you don't plan on doing serious crimes and your not an opposition leader in a totalitarian state, tor is not a good default browser.
