It’s an entirely new standard, so no, it won’t just be a firmware patch.

Removing the notifications permission doesn’t prevent them from being sent. Source

Not sure how it hasn’t been said yet, but I really like Helium314’s OpenBoard fork. Can’t recommend enough.

This list is a must.

They’re mods of the proprietary Discord client, so yeah they don’t meet the criteria. But the mods themselves are open source which is nice.

I 100% agree, its best to just stick to upstream Fedora imo. Glad you made this comment. The security issues of Nobara always put me off, especially since basically everything it does can just be applied to regular Fedora. I think Nobara would much better serve as a script or toolkit, similar to Brace, or something along those lines instead of an entire separate OS with the security issues it brings.

Didn’t realize they had one, appears a lot of functionality requires an account to use. I’d be cautious overall based on the privacy practices they use in their mobile app, doesn’t seem to be a big concern for them and I’d be careful giving them any trust. But if you do wish to use them, their mobile site with a good content blocker would definitely be the best option (preferably without an account if possible).

I like the concept of Ground News, but about the privacy…

According to Exodus, their mobile app contains 9 trackers:

• Amplitude
• AppsFlyer
• Facebook Analytics
• Facebook Login
• Facebook Share
• Google Analytics
• Google Crashlytics
• Google Firebase Analytics
• Google Tag Manager

Also wants location, camera, phone state, and advertising ID access?!

No thanks.

Hard for me to understand how blocking valid email providers like Proton, Tutanota, and Skiff, would actually mitigate any abuse. All it’s going to do is hurt the websites with this filter and prevent privacy-minded folks from signing up. Unfortunate to see, hopefully they get some common sense and don’t block these for no reason.

If you don’t have it on your Sony TV, I’d recommend installing another launcher like FLauncher which effectively does the same thing and gets rid of the garbage.
