  • Tell me more about NZB360 and HortusFox, I've never heard of these before.

  • That unfortunately appears to be the best way to exit. Please tell me if you know a better method.

  • 100% agreed

  • Which one do you use?

  • For any Linux users, ANGRYsearch and Fsearch are pretty good alternatives to Everything, fd is great for the command line

  • Yes, I know, draw.io theoretically isn't entirely open source, but the source code is available and it can be self-hosted. Honestly, that's good enough for me, I think I can make an exception for this one. But generally I care a lot about strictly using FOSS too. It can also be integrated with Nextcloud: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/drawio

  • I wouldn't compare a Pixel to an iPhone in that context. The Google Pixel has been designed to run Android, a fundamentally open platform, which for example allows for sideloading, something that iOS only added recently because of pressure from lawmakers. The Pixel also allows you to install any OS you like while preserving all security features, including Verified boot, whereas the iPhone has always been locked down and only supports a single operating system that's entirely controlled by one corporation. Hardware-wise, the choice between a Pixel and an iPhone should be pretty clear. The Pixel is open and supports alternative operating systems, as well as custom verified boot signing keys. Software-wise, I'd take the iPhone over a Pixel with the Stock OS any time of the day, even though it's not as open, simply because I don't want any invasive Google bullshit running as a privileged system app on my device.

  • Yeah

  • I tried Floorp and didn't like it either, I'm glad there's a more promising looking project out there now. Still great to see more development in the Firefox/Gecko ecosystem. We don't need more Chromium garbage.

  • Supports FF Sync.

  • Hardware isn't privacy invasive, it's neutral. It's Google's proprietary software that collects all of your data, which is the reason I don't use it. I don't use any Google services, and completely blocked their servers on my network (both in my firewall and DNS). A Pixel with GrapheneOS is the best way to protect your privacy and security simultaneously, and it's the only device that can compete with iPhone hardware security. I'll happily buy Pixels from Google for their great features like the Titan M2 secure element, but I will never use their software and services.

  • They only backport (some) OS patches, the firmware doesn't get updated after the vendor classifies a device as EOL.

  • To get Android into a fully patched state, you need both firmware updates that come from your phone's vendor, as well as OS patches that come from your OS developer (in this case GrapheneOS). GrapheneOS usually only provides OS updates as long as Google provides firmware updates, because they don't want people to run outdated and potentially insecure devices with old, unpatched firmware. But they have extended update cycles for some EOL devices like the Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5.

  • DivestOS is pretty good. I'd stay away from /e/OS, CalyxOS and LineageOS though, as they have some pretty serious security problems.

  • Really? That's your concern? People seeing you use a Google phone? Just put a case on it ffs, no one cares that much about the phone you use. With a case, basically all modern smartphones look the exact same.
