If you liked LineageOS without gapps, than I highly recommend DivestOS. It is a soft-fork of LineageOS with significant security hardening and removal of proprietary binary blobs.

VPNs are illegal in China.

You can disable that. Here are two links that disable that. Add it to Firefox or Chromium through the settings.

Simple, only disables AI answers: https://duckduckgo.com/?kbe=0&q=%s

Long, disables AI answers and ads: https://duckduckgo.com/?kak=-1&kax=-1&kbe=0&k1=-1&q=%s

Steps to create a custom DDG search config:

• Visit: https://duckduckgo.com/settings
• Select the settings you want, for example dark mode.
• Click the “Show Bookmarklet and Settings Data” button.
• Copy the link, using my dark mode scenario would yield the URL https://duckduckgo.com/?kae=d
• Edit the URL by adding &q=%s to the end, which acts as a placeholder for the browser to replace with your actual search query. Using my example https://duckduckgo.com/?kae=d&q=%s
• Last step is add it to your browser. May differ between browsers, but generally look in the search engines tab of the settings.

That is Thunderbird on Desktop, which uses Firefox ESR. Thunderbird on Android uses K-9 Mail’s codebase.

Ente Auth

It is not security hardened from what I can tell. Most of Librewolf’s patches could be applied to build Zen with security hardening. Alternatively, patch Zen browser with Arkenfox user.js (upstream project to Librewolf’s security hardened default profile)

InnerTune (A fork of InnerTune, a Material 3 YouTube Music client for Android) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.malopieds.innertune/

Are you using the fork? It gets more frequent updates.

Also nice because you can better isolate these Android apps instead of Waydroid which intentional has no isolation or selinux policies and runs in a rootful LXC container.

According to the Gitlab repo for the Android transition layer, yes.

I haven’t had great success, it causes more problems than it is worth if you aren’t willing and knowledgeable to troubleshoot any finicky behavior. The nvidia drivers just end up causing a headache. I would never recommend anyone buy an nvidia GPU if they dont have a specific requirement like run local AI/LLMs using CUDA or raytracing (I guess). AMD can also run local LLMs using ROCm, just not supported for 5000 series or lower.

The only Linux distro I (and my friends) have had any success with nvidia GPUs is Bazzite/Aurora. Bazzite is gaming focused and has special nvidia OS images.

AMD is easier to use with Linux. Get a rx6700xt or greater.

You can give a Flatpak the necessary permissions to modify disks. All the permissions needed by Veracrypt could be granted.

That is usually referred to as “source available” and doesnt fall into the category of open source.

It can do a lot, for example some people use it as a PDF editor.

What is stopping a CPU manufacturer from close-sourcing part/most of their CPU built on RISC-V. Even if the CPU is fully open, backdoors can be hidden in plain sight with clever design. And beyond the CPU, other components in our PC will remain closed. A new ISA isnt going to fix the systematic problems of capitalism or facism, where the corporations can exist and act without really feeling with any consequences. We must find a way to hold them accountable.

Cool, I like it more now.

If you have friends, “Never Split the Party” is a fun random dungeon-crawler game where each party member (4p coop) has an aspect of the game user interface like health or the map. If you split up you lose that UI. (ive never played binding of Issac but it seems like similar genre)

Why not Codeberg, cus its FOSS and run by a donation-funded nonprofit.
