CowsLookLikeMaps , in PSA: Nova Launcher is owned by an analytics company

I’ve been using KISS for I don’t know how many years at this point. I can’t imagine using anything else at this point. I’m sure that there’s plenty of other great FOSS launchers out there!

TwiddleTwaddle , (edited ) in Open source ebook reader recommendations?

I’ve been using Librera FD. Not sure if it meets all of your needs, but it can be integrated with a Calibre server at least to grab your books from another machine. I haven’t bothered to see if it will sync what page you’re on though.

Fossify might be a good place to start with…

github.com/FossifyOrg

EddoWagt OP ,

I’ve tried those before, but I don’t like most of those apps to be honest. The gallery is pretty good and the calendar is okay, but the rest doesn’t work quite right for me

shinysquirrel , in Lineage OS 21 apps on other devices?

I can’t help with installing lineage os apps but I can suggest unexpected keyboard. I tried a lot of foss keyboards and this was the best in what I tried. It has a lot of customisation You can basically change anything. I even added my own keyboard layout to it.

EddoWagt OP ,

Does it support multilingual typing?

shinysquirrel ,

it has different layout but I don’t know if you can quickly switch between layouts

Heliboard is the best opensource keyboard I have used. For dialer, I use fossify Dialer

EddoWagt OP ,

I think I’ve tried heliboard before, but that doesn’t support multilingual typing, right?

@thequantumcog@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, it doesn’t.

EddoWagt OP ,

Ah that’s a shame, deal-breaker for me

Nomad , in Lineage OS 21 apps on other devices?

www.apkmirror.com/apk/lineageos/

This is the only place I’ve seen them. Not all will be compatible with non-lineageos android but I’ve had success with some.

EddoWagt OP ,

Awesome, all standard apps seem to work fine (Calendar, Contacts Calculator, etc.) Not all of them look amazing yet but they’ll do the job I think!

BearOfaTime , in Lineage OS 21 apps on other devices?

You can just copy the apk directly from the phone.

To make it easy, I use APK Export (because I’m lazy… I could just copy the apk with any file browser).

Turns out APK Export is no longer available on the Play Store.

Try APK Extractor instead.

I also use 3C Toolbox to Backup apps to a local folder. It just copies the APK.

You apps

EddoWagt OP ,

Thanks, those look pretty good!

It is from the developer(s) that made Libretube.

I’m using GBoard already, but I want to move to an open source one

cordlord , in Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others?

I know a lot of people are saying Bitwarden, but I’ve been using 1Password for 4 years and Bitwarden just isn’t a viable replacment.

1Password looks much more modern and their organizational tools are not present at all in Bitwarden. I can’t even sort by date created or modified in Bitwarden.

Not using a password manager is like not having locks on a house. Everyone should have one and if you don’t, you’re risking a lot of valuable stuff being taken from you.

AstroLightz , in how can I prove that phones are not listening to us for ads?

Put your phone in a Faraday bag for an extended period of time, then check what kind of ads you get.

    It’s a shame Apple decided not to implement e2ee like Google did.

    This is an older article, but there is still no movement. …appleinsider.com/…/apples-flavor-of-rcs-wont-sup…

    I didn’t know MLS and Signal were Google proprietary. TIL. Thanks.

    FutileRecipe OP ,

    and Signal were Google proprietary.

    I’m pretty sure Signal is not Google proprietary, and the person you replied to didn’t say it was.

    lazynooblet ,
    @lazynooblet@lazysoci.al avatar

    The comment said it was proprietary and uses signal and MLS.

    Maybe I misunderstood.

    Thanks for your reply. I understand a lot better now.

    unwaveringegg ,

    It’ll probably take several years for them to switch over to MLS. Hopefully other messaging apps like Telegram and Threema can also utilize it just for crossplatform purposes.

    BorgDrone ,

    Apple and Google are working together as part of the GMSA committee on RCS to add encryption to the standard, instead of using Google’s proprietary incompatible extension for e2ee.

    It’s probably going to take a while due to the whole process needed to add it to the standard, which is also why RCS in general is a terrible idea: you can’t really innovate if everything you want to improve has to go through this whole layer of bureaucracy.

    Outtatime ,

    RCS is encrypted tho

    rmuk ,

    RCS can be encrypted, but it’s optional. The reason is that RCS was originally designed to be run by the network operators who are generally required to be able to log all the messages they handle.

    NewNewAccount , in Apple is bringing RCS to the iPhone in iOS 18

    Finally!

    JackGreenEarth , in Apple is bringing RCS to the iPhone in iOS 18

    Shame they chose to implement the standard that Google blocks other, third party, FOSS apps for being clients for on Android, rather than an actually open standard like Matrix.
