As long as it stays FOSS, you don’t need to worry. You can even self-host Standard Notes if you don’t trust their cloud service: standardnotes.com/help/…/getting-started
The app is completely open source: github.com/LeanderBB/you-have-mail
Your login data is only stored locally on your device, and used to log in to your Proton account. It’s not sent to a third-party server. This is totally fine.
Thanks mate, this is really awesome! Will definitely try it out. Many people might find this useful, consider making a separate post about it. I created a community for UnifiedPush and related topics: !unifiedpush, you’re welcome to post there.

Hi! What would be the best way to limit play serbices to only selected apps. I still need notifications to work from them, but would like to be sure that google can’t access anything else
By default, on a normal Android device, Google Play services are installed as a system application. It means that you can’t remove it, and it can grant itself the permissions it needs. In contrary, regular user apps run in the Android application sandbox. They are installed by the user, have distinct permission controls that are enforced by the operating system and can be uninstalled at any time. Sandboxed Google Play is a compatibility layer created by the GrapheneOS team, which allows you to run Google Play services (which would normally require system privileges) to run as a normal user app in the regular application sandbox.
Yes, because the Google Wallet app requires a higher level of SafetyNet attestation, which can only be achieved when running an OS that’s specifically whitelisted by Google.
First they tried to destroy FOSS, then they realized that they can make money and gain control using open source software, so now they pretend to support it. Microsoft is a monopolistic piece of garbage that I’m staying away from at all costs.

Depends on where you want to transfer your files. Do you want to sync your files to a server? Syncthing is perfect for that. SFTP and SCP also work well enough for that. Do you need to send a file to somebody else? Check out croc or portal.

That’s why they are funding and supporting far-right parties in almost any Western country. The AfD in Germany is a good example, their MPs were literally caught receiving money from the Russians. Their MEPs also work for the Chinese intelligence service btw
The contact page probably wasn’t updated in years. It’s also really irrelevant, since no one goes to that page, and even if someone finds it, they still see all the other platforms before actually clicking on the link to the contact page.
Ok but I still want to know how the actual fuck you found this tiny link to the contact page on the bottom of the website, but managed to overlook the 10 links to other platforms right above it.
For a good reason. Pixels are currently the only phones besides iPhones with proper hardware security. Only Pixels support hardware memory tagging, have a secure element (Titan M2) that supports the Android StrongBox and Weaver API, insider attack resistance and hardware key attestation. They also have a programmable USB controller, that allows you to fully disable any USB data connections while the OS is running. The GrapheneOS team maintains a list with hardware requirements at grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices
privacy-oriented distributions are more likely to be targeted by intelligence agencies
Since GrapheneOS is based on Android (AOSP), any vulnerability that exists in Graphene definitely also exists in AOSP. Graphene is often faster at fixing security vulnerabilities than Google. GrapheneOS makes some substantial security improvements to AOSP, so the chance of a bug in AOSP being exploitable in Graphene is much lower.
trusting your OpSec in the good will of someone it’s not a good idea, at least for me
That’s literally what you’re doing with the stock OS. Since it’s proprietary, no one can actually verify what’s actually going on. You’re literally trusting a billion-dollar big tech advertising corporation that participates In the NSA PRISM program. What you’re saying doesn’t make any sense.

A delivery tracking app would be great, ideally with Widgets and Material You. On iOS I used to use Deliveries or ParcelTrack, but after switching to Android and primarily using open source software, I couldn’t find a good alternative.

Consider yourself lucky for using a Pixel. These are actually the easiest devices to degoogle. You can replace the entire bloated and spyware-infested stock Pixel OS with GrapheneOS, a much more private, secure and minimalistic, open-source alternative. It is pretty easy to install, the web installer should be self-explanatory, but you can also watch this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAZlmYKrwfk (it does say for Pixel 7, but the steps are exactly the same on the Pixel 8 or any other Pixel, so don’t worry)

GrapheneOS provides users with the ability to set a duress PIN/Password that will irreversibly wipe the device (along with any installed eSIMs) once entered anywhere where the device credentials are requested (on the lockscreen, along with any such prompt in the OS)....
It doesn’t say anything. It shuts the device down almost instantly, and simulnateously wipes the encryption keys from the secure element, ensuring that the data stored on the SSD can’t be decrypted.
