Personally I use BitWarden with a unique pain in the ass password that I have written it down somewhere.

From there I can get back into everything.

You and the point have never seen each other.

This.

Also, recommend using it with Obtainium. It auto searches for updates on multiple sources like GitHub, GitLab, F-Droid Official, F-Droid Third-Party Repo, APKPure,Telegram App, HTML, etc.

If you are talking about Android keyboard, is https://github.com/helium314/openboard not a good option?

How do you know they don’t use “advanced techniques”? I think you gravely overestimate the complexity of adding them to a website.

I recommend you look into web fingerprinting. IP and login data are no longer the only data required to pin point you on the web.

Source available if only requeated is not enough, the big benefit is when any one can at any point check the code on a whim. Not ask for a permit and wait until the company decides(if they decide or just leave you hanging) to give you a copy of the code.

Besides the fact that even in this scenario, malicious code can be hidden.

Not true, you get the open source code and you compile it yourself then compare the checksum of what you compiled with app installer. If they match that means they didn’t add extra code besides whats in the open source.

Even if the keyboard is open source, you cannot guarantee that the app that is installed by the app store is the open source version.

As long as the app is not open source, they can claim anything without being true.

I use Authenticator Pro. It allows backups for itself or for exporting to other apps.

Not the best solution but right now I am using Geforce now. Not gaming on linux but I am gaming while on linux. Didn’t need to touch my windows partition for the past 3 months.

I am seeing it as a net positive. Especially because of the Windows 12 bit, the more Windows is an inconvenience, the more will jump ship, and some will land on linux.

DroidFS on phone and sync the folder with laptop using Syncthing. On laptop I use whatever can decrypt gocryptfs.

Total immunity is a is not realistic in any scenario. I am referring to just the result of not getting doxxed. You can achive that by relying on security but also on anonymity.

You don’t get doxxed if there is no reason to be. I might done some actions that in the eyes of someone I deserve to be punished but privacy unlinks me from those actions. I just become background noise.

I will wait until the GitLab has the apk. For one, it feels sus but being Rossmann, i will look the other way. The second issue is that I will not manualy check for updates every app I have on my phone and this app need to be compatible with Obtainium or on F-droid.

The people that need a topic to be promoted are the people outside of the topic. A place where privacy and non privacy focused individuals can meet is needed to atract and teach new users.

We are empowered with our own path in life but we do not have full control of it. And that is ok, it is ok to not be able to control everthing.

To answer the “big question”, “Why Android even allows this” I asume you are taking about the Android versions that are coded to allow this. In this case it is because , well, are coded like this. Why did Google coded their Android version like this? Profit.

Apple, doesn’t code ios like this cuz it is not their big revenue.

I am not sure Google or Apple are the hero in this story. Insinuating Apple does it out of the goodness of their hearts is naive.

Fair enough, that is a bit complicated. Thank you for clarification.

I only log in on my own devices. On devices that I don’t own, I change the password afterwards.

All my passwords are random characters and I just copy/paste out of bitwarden. Can’t leak that with a wireless keyboard.

Gboard and unexpected keyboard depending on my needs.

it’s genuine, was sent by Discord.

I pay the Spotify subscription and they spread it according to my activity. I don’t have to track myself the dozens or content creators and probability hundreds of artists to make sure I pay them fair procentage of my usage.

Not much of privacy, but I use Spotify for podcasts. Usually when I am commuting or during chores.

I would love to use a privacy oriented solution but it is difficult to have privacy and not have to micromanage my paymants to creator, Spotify does it automatically for me.
