Ah, gotcha. Yeah I can’t say that really bothers me too much… 😅

I’m not sure there are really any big names in that space that don’t suck anyway. Like the other two I’m familiar with are google and Amazon, and they’re hardly saints.

A “roll your own” solution with keepass and something to sync might sidestep that problem but is hardly a drop in replacement that appeals to all the same users

Those recommendations would probably be more useful to the person who was asking for recs, though it’s worth pointing out your solutions to certain things aren’t really 1 to 1 alternatives and may not be suitable for someone who’s looking for services akin to proton

Bitwarden is associated with Microsoft…?

Edit: I wasn’t able to find anything suggesting they’re connected, I’d love to know what you mean… I don’t keep up with stuff super closely

Personally I’ve been using Tutanota and bitwarden happily. I guess it kinda depends on what you’re looking for alternatives to, I don’t know if anyone else offers as comprehensive of a complete suite of stuff

Dude thats fucking awesome

I assume you’re not, but you aren’t logged in are you?

Otherwise I’d say fingerprinting or identifying your machine like another commenter suggested

Fair honestly, I’m more or less in the same boat 😅

Someone forked the project (made a copy and started making updates and improvements to the copy independent of the original developer) and I installed it directly from the forked github repo, where it was getting updates. But they didn’t rename it until they published it on f-droid, so the app still showed up as openboard on my phone, just a newer version than the one available on f-droid

I had the same problem using droid-ify until I uninstalled openboard for some reason. (Technically I uninstalled the fork that has since turned into helibord, but it was called open board also before they renamed it for f-droid release, so it still showed up as open board in droid-ify, just a newer version)

It did show up in the normal f-droid app for me though

You’re very welcome ❤️ I think understanding why things are the way they are is important if we want any agency over it, I always appreciate folks who share their material knowledge of a subject

Hope you have a good one man, take care :)

Despite the down voters I appreciate you sharing the context about USA law around ADAS. Not a fan of this, but understanding how we got to a place where cars have this kind of privacy violation baked in is helpful
