Shutting down 3rd-party apps

Definitely won't find these books on Anna's Archive /s

The story isn't nearly as dramatic as it seems. Maybe this thread can offer some nuance: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112967309987371034

See this is why I love Valve. At least their hardware and the great support for open source software (Linux, Wine/Proton).

No, I don't agree with everything they do in regards to Steam. I know that it sucks, that you can't truly own your games nowadays, but at least Valve supports an OS that lets you truly own your hardware and have control over your software. And they do it, by providing open source software (Proton) with no strings attached (free software license) that lets you play games on this exact FOSS OS.

It's not that hard to compete with the ever shrinking Netflix library

You can actually unlock LUKS from another machine over SSH: https://www.cyberciti.biz/security/how-to-unlock-luks-using-dropbear-ssh-keys-remotely-in-linux/

I'm pretty happy with this solution

Ente Auth > Authy

Use LibreX or a fork called LibreY, it's a JS-free proxy for Google search

There's a list of instances at https://librey.org/instances.php

Something similar exists for DuckDuckGo btw, it's called 4get

Or you can just use SearXNG, a meta search engine that aggregates results from multiple sources

I don't get why y'all are so mad about this. As long as the features are optional and I can easily turn them off in the settings, they don't bother me at all.

Bruh I'm just casually asking, what's wrong with that question

Bitwarden can't be compared to KeePassXC. Bitwarden is fundamentally built around a sync server, whereas KeePass is meant to exclusively operate locally. These are two very different fundamental concepts for, you know, how to actually store and access your passwords.

It's really cool. I learned about it from the megathread: https://rentry.co/megathread-books#annas-archive

Because it's Google's proprietary garbage app. Use FOSS alternatives from F-Droid instead.

Now also throw GNU Guix, Homebrew and some AppImages in there

Is that an actual Hackintosh (running on bare metal) or just a virtual machine?

Anything that doesn't work on Linux

Using 2FA on all accounts that offer it is just as important. And make sure to use a good, open-source TOTP client like Aegis on Android or Tofu on iOS.

Definitely make sure to backup your seeds in an encrypted format (e.g. Veracrypt container or GPG-encrypted files). If you lose your seeds, you lose access to your accounts.
I like to use the automatic backup feature in Aegis, which syncs my encrypted vault to my Nextcloud server. You can also enable compatibility with Android's backup API and use that if your ROM includes a backup solution like Seedvault.

Is this a badly worded paragraph, but is uBlock Origin really using remotely hosted code? I thought it was a different restriction in manifest V3 that stops as blockers being effective.

I think it kinda is badly worded, and it refers to code/data that is dynamically loaded by an extension, after it's installed by the user, which uBlock Origin does use for filter lists. They can't be bundled with the extension, because they get out of date really quickly and often need to get updated, so uBlock Origin just downloads a new blocklist and saves it in its cache. MV3 wants to prohibit this, making adblockers almost useless. Updating the extension every time there is an update to one of uBlock's many blocklists just isn't feasible. I think they can also hold back updates to the extension in the Chrome Web Store, which they might to if a blocklist starts to include something Google doesn't like (e.g. YouTube ads). All of this is just a shitshow and people should switch to better browsers with actual API compatibility for purposes like adblocking. The best examples are Firefox and LibreWolf.
