Google having their own proprietary crap embedded in their version doesnt make AOSP not FOSS.

Thats the entirety of the basis for things like GrapheneOS, despite Google gobbling it up.

Not just an app, but honestly I get all of this and more out of my nextcloud instance. There are mindmap plugins you can download as well as good task support that's well integrated with however many separate Calender's you want, etc. Its great!

The only downside is that on the mobile side of things you end up with a whole bunch of apps to sync and interface with the instance (nextcloud, etar, tasks.org, nextcloud notes etc)

Then yeah, that option is worthless to you. For me, having networked solutions over a domain I have that enabled. But if its just internally I'd also disable it

IF you can find the song you want on Tidal, they have some actually very high quality tracks as FLACs

There's also some services out there that let you rip from Tidal as well as other platforms ;)

It let's you pick from a whole bunch of local models to download, some trained by Microsoft and the like. In my experience it's pretty responsive on a 2070s ive had for years now, but the responses aren't as good as something like gpt4. Probably about on par with gpt3 in most cases if you choose a larger model.

I wanted to use Kvaesitso but f-droid has it listed for having proprietary components or depending on proprietary services or something so I got scared. Anyone have any insight as to what that's about?

Also, another K-9 user :3

CausticFlames , 3 months ago to Privacy in HELP I used psa.wf which is reccomended on lemmy piracy sub and i think i have got an unnistallable virus that doesn't show up in settings should i wipe down ?

Honestly IMO if you have even an inkling that you've been got by a virus, nuking from orbit is the only solution.

CausticFlames , 3 months ago to Privacy in What phone brand do you like the best?

Grapehene has historically offered extended support, but for the longest support time the pixel 8 isnt a bad option. The 7a is also I think the king of budget phones right now but the 8 is on sale for a few hundred off the last I checked :)

The problem is that GrapheneOS really, truly, actually is the only way to get even reasonable levels of privacy on a mobile device right now.

That sounds so much like a shill statement, and it seems that way from others too I'm sure. But its true. If you understand anything at all that happens under the hood of an operating system and android in general, GrapheneOS is the ONLY option for actual privacy and security. And the unfortunate part, is that only Pixels are supported by this.
