@jonathan859 Nice article. I had very similar experience a few months ago. My only difference is that I'm running this on Pixel 9A.
In order to give some more tips on what to explore next I'd say add @IzzyOnDroid repo to your f-droid install from apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/
Then some nice and accessible #opensource apps are:
@AntennaPod
#auroraStore as a google play alternative,
#catima - a privacy respecting app for lojalty cards,
@davx5app - contacts / calendar sync from your own server if you wish to slowly stop using google for that,
#fairEmail - nice very accessible email client,
#makeacopy - for scanning paper documents,
#newpipe - for playing youtube / bandcamp / soundcloud content,
#openKeichain - for signing / encrypting your emails with fairEmail,
#rsaf - for connecting to various cloud storage services including your own smb / ftp / webdav servers,
sms import export,
Speak that! if the talkback notification presentation is not enough,
walkers guide - nice navigation app
Ytdlnis - an yt-dlp frontent.
Perhaps there are more but I have browsed my apps list and recommended what I think is essential.
Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg), with additional screening applied. Updates for the apps are usually fetched daily, and you can expect daily index updates.
@thunderbird
SMIME Support? Unfortunately NO.
I stay with FairEmail !
Hallo #Mozilla Foundation. Na, dann funktioniert das Ausblenden von Verfolgerbildchen in #FairEmail, dem weltbesten Mailclient, wohl einfach😂
Ich finde es auch befremdlich, dass ihr zu meinem Leseverhalten Daten erhebt.
Info: Ich habe z.B. 1984 zwei Mal gelesen. Harry Potter mehrfach. Aktuell bin auf einem Stanislav Lem Trip und eh generell seit meinem 7. Lebensjahr Science-Fiction orientiert.
Hoffe ich konnte die verpassten Daten ein wenig ausgleichen.
APP sofort Google- und Apple-frei unterwegs mit @GrapheneOS
Gleich auch mal die Spendenmaschine für verschiedene Projekte anwerfen. Danke an alle.
