I used Avenza Maps in the past for offline navigation at various state parks. The park service provides maps and the app will let you navigate the trails. It’s been a long time since I used it and I now have a new phone on which I never installed the Google Play services. The app is complaining that “check that Google play...
For those of you who use Raspberry Pi’s in your home environment, I’m curious as to what you use them for. What applications are you running on them? Do you have your Pi’s setup in a cluster?
Ever since I started degoogling my life, i missed how to integrate calendar and tasks in all my devices. Because of my work Im stuck using Macos and I have a debloated samsung device with F-droid. However I need a way of syncing calendars and tasks between Macos and my phone, so I can get push notifications on both of my devices...
Icard is actuality the only alternative that can register as a contactless nfc payment that not relying on google/Apple wallet and its perfectly safe. It’s an actual bank in Bulgaria and is eu regulated and PCI certified
Not Foss. Kinda of a privacy nightmare as you need to verify your identity and location with actual documents but as already said its not google and is a solid option if you are degoogled.
My pixel 5 is currently running on grapheneOS and will be unsupported soon so I’m looking to switch over to CalyxOS for an extended support. Are there any other deGoogled OS’s you guys recommend?
Your options in aftermarket OS fall in to 3 categories imao
those that support relocking the bootloader (grapheme,calyx,divest, other smaller projects maybe)
vanilla roms with signature spoofing permission so that you can have microg on them. Some even come with microg preinstalled (/e/,lode,Los4mg) And some are gmscomat compatible (voltage,awaken,spark). There are plenty but they don’t care about signed images and relocking.
some unofficial build from any of the above from a maintainer that cares to sign his own images so that you can relock your BL as your device supports it.
Together with the other suggestions jtx board is also a new addition Developed from the davx5 team , tasks,calendars,journals and NOTES.
The good: Easy sync of notes with any caldav provider . No extra servers and apps for tasks,cakendars,journals. Mtls support ( davx5 supports it ) for extra security if you selfhost
As every android user I try tons of apps. Mostly Foss or at least privacy friendly apps. Thought of gathering app links and categorizing them in a telegram channel. Please have a look if you want and also join the chat for app suggestions. thanks.
That would require a lot more work. The idea behind the channel is to have an instant share and categorisation of an app I and other found and want to share and then use the related channel group to comment about it
If anyone can suggest a telegram alternative that can be publicly accessed without an account,can use tags and create a media and text preview from the providing link I’ll be more than happy to use that instead
Tags are essential. As all other features I mentioned. There are tons of app lists out there. Git repos,websites,subredits even app stores, none of this option are ideal for a quick post that will provide a brief preview , catecorisation , public accessibility and user comments at the same time.
Lemmy would be great though. It has link previews. Can be webviewed without an account. Has user interaction. There is also progress on the tag system. github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/317#issuecomment…If it ever goes upstream and implemented it will be perfect
Telegram is not google. The clients are open source. And there are degoogled clients on fdroid. And eitherway you can access the channel from any browser without the need of an account
Channels and groups are not encrypted in tg. Like this community we now chatting is not encrypted. I dont see anything wrong in that. For the tg encryption security audit , i think its beyond the purpuse of the channel i made so idc.
This probably will never hapen Being a flutter app needs flutter plugins to call the aprpriate android api’s This is problematic when it comes to silent instalations
