Librewolf + uBlock Origin on desktop. Mull + uBlock Origin on mobile.

I have a setup which is not ideal, but I believe improves privacy while preserving convenience: I never connected my TV to the internet, and instead use a MiBox TV S 4K for all my streaming with custom DNS blocking trackers and ads.

I guess there might be other Android TV boxes that allow you to change the DNS server. It might be worth checking a bit around if you decide to go down this route.

In my case, I found this Reddit post and was able to change the DNS server on the MiBox to NextDNS, where I could later activate relevant blocklists (SmartTV, Xiaomi, Google). I also perform monitoring of the domains the MiBox connects to and have blocked a couple manually.

This way I have an AndroidTV experience with the streaming services that I want, and with the domains I don’t want blocked.

There are several degoogled OS options for the Fairphone models, with different levels of degoogling and privacy: LineageOS, CalyxOS, DivestOS, iodéOS and /e/OS.

Most of these are based on LineageOS (I understand that CalyxOS isn’t, but I might be wrong). I personally use iodéOS and I like the helpful developers, the ability to remove / replace any of the apps preinstalled with the system, and the iodé blocker which blocks trackers, adds and any connection you want to at a system level.

Don’t forget iodéOS!

Another vote for HeliBoard, I’ve been using it for months and it’s great and under active development.

Open Tracks allows exporting in either KMZ (default), KML or GPX format. Go to Settings, tap on “Import and Export” and there look, towards the end, for the entry “Export/sharing file format”.

Hey there, I’m sorry about this craziness. My comment was not really directed at you, but I was just quoting part of the original post that mentioned you.

I was trying to suggest that OP is confusing criticism of the GrapheneOS community with criticism of the OS. You make a good point and, as I pointed out, you were not criticising the OS, but the community. Not the same thing.

Even @TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml gives it backlash despite being a moderator of Lemmy’s biggest privacy community. A quote here: “grapheneOS trolls are downvoting every single post and comment of mine, and committing vote manipulation on Lemmy. They are using 5-6 accounts.” That was in response to downvotes on a comment posted in the c/WorldNews community, which is entirely unrelated to technology.

It seems to me that you might be confusing things: You say that people hate the OS but share a comment complaining about the community of users/fans, not about the OS.

I have never used GrapheneOS and cannot comment on the OS, but I have seen some users in different communities commenting that GrapheneOS is the only valid alternative OS and discrediting any other OS. It becomes tiring pretty fast.

MP3Tag sounds cool, but there’s no Linux version it seems :(

But also on the main F-Droid repository. I can see both results when I search (see screenshot in my other reply).

I can. Have you tried updating the repository information in your app?

There is already a paste button, although not directly shown. I can access it in 3 different ways (but I have made some changes to the default settings, so it might not be exactly the same for you):

• on the toolbar on top of the keyboard (you need to extend it by tapping the > button on the top left). You can customise the buttons that show up here in “Settings/Preferences/Additional keys/Select toolbar keys”
• by long pressing the comma key (my favourite way), a pop up shows with several keys, among them the paste key.
• by long pressing the enter key

I followed the recommendation of the developer and installed the file from GApps packages (“swypelibs”). They provide a link in Heliboard’s README, scroll down to the FAQ section and look for “How to enable glide typing”

Not necessarily: you can choose to have several languages separated as different input methods (you can switch between them very quickly by sliding vertically from the space bar) OR you can go to “Settings / Languages” and select one of your active languages and inside its submenu add languages for multilingual typing. This way when you select that original language as input method it will use and recognise all the languages you added at once. I must say this can be tricky with glide typing, but still works pretty well.

I have Heliboard set to English (UK) and it suggests British spellings (highlighting the American ones as typos), so I think you should be good. However, I’m not sure if the spellings come from my phone’s system or from the keyboard…

I would nevertheless recommend trying it: it has some very nice improvements over OpenBoard and is under active development, so you could request new features or report bugs and expect them to be taken care of.

Heliboard can do multilingual typing, and I believe there is some kind of haptic feedback… I don’t use that function, but it was mentioned in the latest release notes

If you have some kind of Android TV device you can probably install SmartTube to have no ads and sponsorblock: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext

I just installed Anytype to give it a try, and on first launch it tried to connect to:

• sentry.anytype.io
• api2.amplitude.com
• amplitude.anytype.io
• telemetry.anytype.io
• graylog.anytype.io

Their android app seems to be full of trackers, not very privacy friendly.

You could use a FairPhone
