Also the solution to proprietary software

Yes, they are called data brokers and there are a lot of them, e.g. Acxiom, Kochava, Huq, X-Mode, SafeGraph and many more

I’ve been using Authelia for almost 2 years and I really like it. Never had any issues.

That’s for IDE drives. And there’s /dev/vdX for virtual block devices.

You make sure sand thinks correctly.

This foreign state-sponsored corruption should be banned

Mull is even better, it’s hardened Fennec. It’s basically like LibreWolf but for Android.

Yeah

tar -xvf is the only one I know

And I think it was tar -cvf for creating .tar files?

Yeah it was pretty late yesterday and I misread that. That’s why I deleted the comment.

It’s pretty good for desktop apps, but it doesn’t provide CLI applications, so I still have to rely on the AUR. There are some issues with it, but overall I think it’s the best solution we currently have. And it’s very easy to use, which is great for new users and it will become important if Linux continues growing like this.

This one is pretty good https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil

It’s more secure than F-Droid. It’s still in a pretty early stage of development though and currently only offers a handful of apps.

• App signing key pinning: first-time app installs are verified so you don’t have to TOFU.
• Signed repository metadata: repository contents are protected against malicious tampering.
• Automatic, unattended, unprivileged updates (Android 12+): updates are handled seamlessly without relying on privileged OS integration.
• First-class support for split APKs: downloaded APKs are optimized for your device to save bandwidth.
• No remote APK signing: developers are in full control of their app signing keys.

I like the direction this is going

Have you tried out Molly? If yes, did you use the normal version or the FOSS build? Btw the Version available on Accrescent is also FOSS

Because Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Molly claims to use OSM in their FOSS builds: https://github.com/mollyim/mollyim-android/blob/main/README.md#dependency-comparison. I can’t confirm this because I never use any Signal features that require map integration.

Signal doesn’t “heavily use Google services”. They only use proprietary libraries and integrations for 2 purposes: Donations and push notifications. Signal uses the platform’s native way of handling push notifications, on iOS it’s APNs and on Android it’s FCM. This is also the reason why it’s not available on F-Droid. You can use a fork of the app like Signal-FOSS or Molly. These remove all proprietary dependencies and you can download them from their custom F-Droid repositories.
