Hosting data yourself wouldn’t be required, but it would become an option.
You’d have the option of leaving your identity on your home server, or a separate domain/website, or host your data and identity but use another instance to federate.
Though, designing UX for this will be an interesting challenge.
I think Whoogle does that?
Sorry for the late reply, that shadow is present in most launchers as a default option to create contrast between the wallpaper and status icons.
Things like Nova Launcher and Lawnchair have options to disable it.
Awesome to see that Sony development is still kicking <3
use Tor Browser.
If your concern is fingerprinting, that is undeniably the best there is out of the box.
If you want Tor Browser without having to use the Tor Network, Mullvad is basically just that; Tor Browser without the Network.
What exactly does Google have left that people like? Gmail?
Nope, not GMail either, even GMail has ads now.
I’d love to slap LineageOS on a modern sony
Loved their devices back then, especially because they offer an extended range of updates specifically for developing on-top of AOSP, even including (Major) Kernel Updates
That on a modern device? Count me in
is this everywhere on the device?
SimpleX is quite a promising project, uses Double Ratchet End-to-End-Encryption (from Signal), and has a very interesting protocol and model to provide quite strong metadata protection, especially in regards to whom you talk to and groups you’re in.
If your threat model requires exceptionally strong Metadata protection, SimpleX is probably going to be your go-to
Though, for a more lenient threat model, where still good, but less laser-focused metadata protection is enough, Signal will probably do just fine.
Personally I use Signal, but I also have a SimpleX Profile, an XMPP Account and Matrix. (preferred in that order)
Yes, they self-implemented that.
So unlike Heliboard, you don’t need to import Google’s Swypelibs.
Its great, same as their standalone Speech-To-Text Application.
Just FYI, Heliboard (continuation of OpenBoard) has all of the above. Just note that you’ll need to import Google’s Swype library once to use Swipe-To-Type.
Just FYI you posted into a Lemmy community, you didn’t ping Librewolf.
Whilst the community is official from what I know, you’ll probably not get answers directly from developers here, I’d check the FAQ
It’s not a traditional matrix client mind you, and when I say “Matrix First” I mean architecturally.
Yes.
After their plan of starting with local iMessage and expanding later didn’t turn out well, they turned it around. Start with Matrix, add local bridges later.
The current application is based on the Beeper Mini codebase, is Matrix-First and will soon allow you to use local bridges to better preserve E2EE. As seen by some MSCs opened up by the beeper team, they are also looking into encrypted chat backups with these local bridges.
atomic updates 🧠

Arkenfox is simply a set of configuration you can (and should) apply yourself onto a clean Firefox installation.
A fork means taking the source code and modifying it directly, not providing an alternative configuration file.
