works without google play services, microG or other system components!
Thinks drip. is an alternative to Clue Period Tracker & Calendar
Wrote a negative comment on LocalSend as an alternative to Magic WormholeLocalsend is for local network, wormhole is for internet. Both have their use cases
Wrote a positive comment on Recording Studio as an alternative to RecordEqualizersimple and elegant. not tested on high or low volume, which is a critical test where many recorders fail
Wrote a negative comment on Android-x86 as an alternative to GrapheneOSCompletely different project. Also they are often using very old Android Versions. Completely different purpose, and often there is no real use for it.
On Linux this is the best alternative.
Wrote a negative comment on balenaEtcher as an alternative to Impression (GTK)Proprierary, Only available as Appimage.
Wrote a negative comment on Ventoy as an alternative to Impression (GTK)Many Images dont support it. It is really great Software, but has a different use case.
Wrote a negative comment on Rufus as an alternative to Impression (GTK)Only on Windows
Wrote a negative comment on LineageOS as an alternative to GrapheneOSLineageOS is fine on non-Pixel phones. Some versions even support SELinux Enforcing, OTA updates and a relockable Bootloader.
I hope they will use many GrapheneOS features like:
- hardened kernel and malloc
- sandboxed Play services instead of the insanely insecure microg
- Vanadium Webview, Browser and PDF viewer
- Auditor, Camera, etc.
Wrote a negative comment on Sailfish OS as an alternative to GrapheneOSGrapheneOS is FOSS and security focused.
Wrote a negative comment on Ubports as an alternative to GrapheneOSNot secure. Firmware is mostly untouched and the software is not checked for integrity etc. Android is way more secure.
Thinks DivestOS is an alternative to GrapheneOSjust no
Wrote a negative comment on Linux Mint as an alternative to Qubes OSnot hardened, not secure at all. It uses X11 which is a very insecure Compositor. Every app can read other apps, listen to keystrokes etc. Only use trusted opensource apps there, from official repos. Also Mint is very slow on updates, often being behind Ubuntu quite a bit.
It is said to be easy to use, but really often is just a pain, as its so outdated and a weird mix of Ubuntu and legacy tools.
not hardened, not containerized. snaps dont count I would say, even though it may be similar and for sure way better than system packages.
Ubuntu is for usability and not security
It does exactly the same. A musicplayer where you can layer different ambient sounds on top of each other. Has some nice preset sounds, buf you can load as many as you like
Wrote a negative comment on Box as an alternative to AnonFiles.comproprietary cloud = avoid at all cost!
Wrote a negative comment on RetroShare as an alternative to AnonFiles.comnot the same purpose. Also, retroshare lacks many up to date apps, there are probably security issues and its not well adapted
Wrote a positive comment on MEGA and OnionShare as an alternative to AnonFiles.comsemi-shady. Not preferred over a trusted Nextcloud or even CryptCloud, but its okay, I guess...
Wrote a negative comment on ownCloud as an alternative to AnonFiles.comas far as I know this is the bad version of Nextcloud?
Wrote a negative comment on Google Drive as an alternative to AnonFiles.comsame bullshit as dropbox. Use only with Cryptomator or the like
Wrote a positive comment on EasyEffects as an alternative to Equalizer APOUseful and powerful
Wrote a negative comment on Google Play Store as an alternative to Obtainiumlogin needed, closed source apps, unsure if they get modified by google
Thinks APKMirror and IzzyOnDroid is an alternative to F-Droid
