For our "automated builder setup", I've just prepared a PR adding support for RPM based systems. The PR is still marked WIP as I don't have any RPM test system at hand here – so I'm calling out for help:

Anybody willing to test the setup scripts on Fedora, RHEL, CentOS or the likes? 🙏

(more tests on Debian-based systems (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint …) are of course welcome, too)

I really like the backup function in #GrapheneOS based on #Seedvault. I know it doesn't work 100%, some apps don't support it etc. But in my case >90% of apps get backed up and restored.

This is what all Androids should have. I understand #Google doesn't want to do it because for them #Android is just a gateway to their services and when you have all your data in their cloud, you don't need such backups. But other Android vendors should have it.

GrapheneOS: Android pro lehce paranoidní uživatele

Pokud chcete mobilní telefon, který je bezpečný, opravdu respektuje vaše soukromí, zároveň nechcete přijít o populární aplikace, bez kterých už se dnes těžko obejdete, může vám současný trh přijít jako výběr mezi kompromisy. Podíval jsem se tedy na systém, který o sobě tvrdí, že jimi netrpí.

The privacy feature I like best in #GrapheneOS is the ability to turn off the network access for a particular app. It's a mandatory permission in #Android, and simply taking it away would break a lot of apps. So instead, GrapheneOS just tells the app that the permission is granted, but the network isn't available.

I'm used to #SwiftKey, but it makes me uncomfortable that the keyboard knows everything I type and has functions that call home. You can turn them off, but you never know. In GrapheneOS, you let it download dictionaries and kill the network access, then you know for sure.

First, they shut down the Basic HTML site, forcing many of us to switch to clients such as Thunderbird. Now, they're using qr codes which are not only inaccessible to the blind but also to those who don't use smartphones! This is ridiculous! Yes, they do still have the option to click whether it's you trying to sign in or not (which still requires a smartphone and a carrier, which they claim to be concerned about), but how long before they remove that, too?

Does anybody know a FOSS alternative to Google's "Smart Lock" on #Android? I need an easy way to just disable keyguard (screen lock) when a given BT device is connected – on a "degoogled" device. Even a QuickSettings tile to toggle it manually would already be great. Ideally without installing a full-fledged "Profile Manager".

(Background: making calls while driving the car, with the phone app's "favorite" screen already in foreground – so I can just push the power button and tap the entry)
