This isn’t a FOSS apps list but a Free (as free beer) software list for Windows with a bunch of cool FOSS apps https://alternativeto.net/list/29653/my-windows-setup/

Damn, will try this one !

You can buy the SMS verification for Telegram on sites likes smspool.net using crypt I currencies such as Bitcoin or Monero.

If you don’t install software made from people that are not align with your ethics there are probably more than just brave.

Thanks Steam ROM Manager looks nice

I’de rather go with Linux Mint Cinnamon or Nobara with their custom GNOME DE

I will rather go with a second hand 2-3 years old premium laptop from a Linux manufacturer such as System76 or Tuxedo.

The real downside of brave is the cryptocrap. It is still optional. However the fact that it support the chromium monopoly is also a bad point.

I think you confuse security and privacy. Samsung are pretty secure from what I saw. They are not private at all however. You can debloat it with adb and maybe tools such as Universal Android Debloater.

There is a couple of guide such as this one: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1402380-ultimate-samsung-oneui-debloat-privacy-customization-guide/

I founded it but I have a Nobara Lutris and it can’t find it :(

I wish I discovered that sooner thanks you. Except a few games they all have good artwork, etc…

Oh I was pretty sure the FP4 was released in 2022 as I got a 5 years warranty that will end up in 2027.

I don’t have that comparison but here are some resources that critics FlatPak’s misleading security

You can download them from other sources ;)

I like Fairphone’s mission but kinda feel meh about their execution. Don’t get me wrong they probably do better than everyone else. But releasing a phone per year isn’t great for the environment. Removing the headphone jack wasn’t for ecological reasons. Making tiny earbuds isn’t in hand with easy reparability. And you can’t upgrade anything !

I wish they will slow the pace for a release every 2 years with better upgradability. I also wish they would work with GrapheneOS so the hardware and firmware are secure enough for the Graphene team to work on that device.

But nice that the brand is still alive. I hope they won’t go too much into green washing.

FlatPak is not the as secure as everyone think it is.

Paper wallet (actually stainlesssteel wallet) because :

I don’t want my Monero private key to be stored on proprietary software aka Ledger I don’t feel confident trusting Trezor because their CoinJoin implementation and the Blockchain Analyst partner of Wasabi (providing the CJ), also expensive honestly MoneroSeedSigner is interesting but it is a signer device and does not store the key, also vulnerable to some attacks that I don’t feel confident personally. Kastello looks dead or gowing nowhere, please correct me if I’m wrong The Monero Passport fork is promising, a bit expensive but will see how it evolves

I wantto setup an encrypted microSD card backup for my seed. But I need to take the time to do that correctly.

Amazing !!!

I block all ads, I rather tips some moneroj or sats to creators, buy some merch, etc. From my point of view giving 5$ to a creator will be more profitable for him/her than watching a hell lot of ads
