  • that’s interesting! I’m looking for a pack tbh

    The icon pack I am using currently is from the store I mentioned, it is called Arcticons Material You and they have surprisingly niche icons (like brazilian banking apps). The ones they don’t have I just use the icon with the first letter of the app.

    Uh I dont like it but I want to try it first. What about Image Toolbox? https://f-droid.org/packages/ru.tech.imageresizershrinker/ it can remove Exit data and I like the app!

    You don’t have to take metadata away from your pictures if you aren’t that concerned but privacy. I haven’t used Image Toolbox before, just mentioned the one I use!

    Never heard of it but it’s okay, not a big deal

    Adaptive Charging is a very nice feature but it is meaning to have long lasting benefits, I don’t think it is a deal breaker

    Im really disappointed to know my bank uses the cards from a brand but they don’t have an app to pay without card

    I was disappointed to learn that many banking institutions used to have this feature, removed it and now feature Google Wallet.

    What do you mean? Do you have any example for popular-ish apps? I want to know more

    Apps that rely on location might not function properly sometimes. Pokemon Go is one that comes to mind, you can access it but sometimes the location can be buggy.

    I have been using GrapheneOS for almost a year now. If you have any other questions, let me know!



    • You can change the default apps easily. The Accrescent store that can be downloaded from the gOS store even have some icon packs that are FOSS.
    • You can download the Pixel Camera from the App Store. I would keep it without Network access and remove the meta data with ExitEraser depending of where I am posting those pictures.
    • Battery seems the same but you won’t have access to Adaptive Charging (when your phone is plugged in it tries to keep your phone without reaching 100% to improve battery life).
    • You won’t be able to tap cards with your phone unless your bank app provides it. Google Wallet doesn’t and won’t work.
    • I wasn’t able to get Android Auto to work at all.
    • You will need to be used to apps not working properly and testing the compatibility modes, specially if they use the location services.






  • We have a Shield Pro and unfortunately flashing wasn’t an option of us. What we did was start using an “alternative” launcher called Projectivy and installing apps outside the Play store.

    Casting isn’t possible too, we simply learned to live without it. It seems you can use it on Kodi but I never really tried.


  • We found Anytype when searching for a Notion alternative and it is indeed a good one. It is still missing a few features, mainly related to dates and calendars but I am having fun setting up the templates. It takes a bit but eventually it does click, in my case my spouse did the hardwork and explained to me how to use it, lol.

    The two main ways I am currently using it are: creating a page and putting a bunch of relevant stuff in there and the other is creating a type and creating a set of said type to be displayed. Don’t know if that will make sense to you but if you are interested I can try to type it in a more detailed way. Logseq is nice but sometimes I needed tables and it was a bit of a mess. Anytype doesn’t have this issue.




  • On Mobile I use Firefox Nightly but it is a pain. It crashes all the god damn time. I don’t know how y’all do it, Mull is the same thing because of the upstream. I sometimes consider using Vanadium but I ain’t pissed enough yet, I think.

    On Desktop, Librewolf for mostly everything that I can manage work with it, what doesn’t I open whatever other browser that’s available.
