Using password managers and 2FA with passwords can be a slow and boring process, if you can unlock with fingerprint is much faster and frictionless, however I dont want my provider to know my fingerprints (samsung) is there a way to achieve this?
Ever since I started degoogling my life, i missed how to integrate calendar and tasks in all my devices. Because of my work Im stuck using Macos and I have a debloated samsung device with F-droid. However I need a way of syncing calendars and tasks between Macos and my phone, so I can get push notifications on both of my devices...
I tried almost every possible solution suggested here, but i couldnt manage to make it work, I’d really like a simple guide on how to set something like this or a self-hosting solution, though i dont even know if i can do that without a server
I just discovered this amazing app! It lets you remove (or just disable) preinstalled apps like Facebook, Netflix, etc. and system apps like samsung knox apps, diagnostic, bixby, and even One UI (but you must have installed other launcher). You can’t brick your device, worst case it falls into a boot loop and after 5 reboots...
I’ve just found Syncthing and I’m blown away by this app. So, I’m interested if any of my other apps can be replaced by foss equivalents that can be synced....
I use it on logseq, on aegis backups (2FA app), KeePassDX for my passwords, also I have a folder inside my picture galleries which is synced with my computer, so everytime I take a picture I want to save on my computer y just copy it there. Also I have plain text editor and I have a txt file shared with my computer I use it mainly to share web links between my devices. I’m still looking for ways to sync calendars and to do apps, so I can get notifications everywhere for my events so I dont forget them, but havent manage to do it just yet.
I used one called simple generic text editor available on f droid. However I just found out KDE connect works very well for sharing links and clipboard. It is even better and faster and works with almost all operating systems i guess. Would be nice to give it a try.
That would be amazing and even building a streaming app in too of it to compete with strraming services. Something similar to stremio for films and a music streaming service
Theres a lot of discussion here against centralization, but i wonder how possible it would be to maintain a federated infraestructure and build on top a mega meta search engine for centralization of resources
I have a samsung A22 which is not supported by any of the foss roms i would like to try, so i started to debloat my phone and logout from google, removing as much propietary software as i can from my phone and replacing by foss alternatives. The only thintg i didnt manage to do is removing google services as i live in a country...
Its weird because i tried installing them using the repository and it does not let me install them, i tried downloading the apk as suggested in the guide, but it says it wont install it because the package is not valid
Yeah, Im f-droid and the MicroG repo, however when I find the app on fdroid it doesnt let me install it in fact i cant even see the install button, as shown in this pic:
Its a shame i didnt manage to find a single rom with support for my samsung a22 device. I wanted to use /e/Os or graphene, but none of them support my model :/
Its not a secret that grpahene OS amd other foss, privacy oriented roms dont support many devices letting a lot of people locked inside proprietary roms. Thats my case so i want to replace as much as I can the proprietary software on my samsung phone if possible for Graphene OS alternatives but i can’t find their apps on...
My girlfriend gave me an Alexa assistant as a gift with all good will, since she knows I like technology. I know in terms of privacy it is garbage, however I wonder if there is a safe way to use some functions of this device, perhaps without internet. Some way to hack it or something, do you guys know something about this?
I currently use searx.org instance of SearXNG which for me works decently, and I can still use the ! searches of DuckDuckGo in it, just adding another !, like !!wikipedia
Unfortunately DDG blocks piracy related searches and torrents, that’s why I don’t support them anymore, also they plan on banning “misinformation” whatever that means. I don’t like it anymore.
I live in Latin America and I found out here governements dont require Samsung to OEM lock bootloader for Samsung phones, so thecnically im able to boot a custom rom unto my phone. But Im curious if this still enables us Samsung users from Latin America to boot any privacy respecting android rom, since most of them doesnt...
This is the option I can enable after activating developer options on my Samsung. It is in spanish, but it do mean that you are able to unlock the OEM bootloader, letting you access to boot roms, as far as I understand. Is it really impossible?
But unless you’re paying with Monero, you paying with cryptocurrency is not private at all. Idon’t know a lot about cryptos but I’ve heard blockchain is even more traceable than fiat and even less private as paying with cash.
I tend to prefer “file centered” apps, there’s some cool one you’d use with Syncthing? My favourite is KeePassDX; I would love a notes app with a ‘material you’ UI.
I’m a music producer, so I’m stuck with Macos because of Logic Pro, which is used by my coworkers. There’s no chance they change it for a FOSS option. I know Asahi linux is out there but my M1 computer only has like 250Gb (which isnt a problem for me because I store all my logic projects an external hard drive , but I...

Is there an apo to apply cool filters to images instagram like? Or any image editor which supports using images as stickers?
Is there a foss biometrics management app?
