What do you mean?
Open Whisper Systems received about 3M USD total from the US government via the Open Technology Fund for the purpose of technology development … during 2013 to 2016.

Who knows if there isn't some fundamental and simple flaw with some part of it that nobody is seeing. For what worth the all Snowden could be a major psy-op to make people believe that Signal is really secure and that there are no backdoors into it - after all the guy spends most of the time promoting Signal.
Which software is that?
i feel sick when i have to use closed-source [is that a word?] software, everything has to be open source and work in linux
aurora still does a lot of tracking for google
Swap KP for Vaultwarden, FD for Obtainium, NP for Grayjay, and you basically have my setup.
Though I still run windows for gaming.
Obtainium doesn't even come close to fdroid . like it isn't even a question bruh completely different things as one is just a tool to make updates easy the other is a high privacy and security app store with really good policy, security and privacy check etc.
One reason I'm thankful for Obtainium is because "OAuth was not approved by Google, etc for the F-Droid build" of Fair Email, and unfortunately, that's still important for me. Obtainium is able to download from the official F-droid repo too.
I wasn't comparing the two but you go ahead and do you, I prefer finding apps on my own and just getting them direct from the devs. Damn people are defensive as fuck around here, shit.
I use pass for saving passwords to syncronize the repos in my phone and computer and libredirect to watch youtube.
Hey what are all of the logos there? I know almost all of them but I'm unsure on a few.
- GrapheneOS
- Newpipe
- MPV
- Signal
- Librewolf
- KeePassXC
- Aurora Store
- FreeTube
- Fdroid
- Linux
Try the mullvad browser as well, it's scoring amazingly in fingerprinting tests.
Is it yet another Chromium fork?
edit: it's not! It's Firefox, yay. Might actually give it a shot because why not, I've already got a Mullvad VPN subscription
Make sure to set the DNS over HTTPS on default since you use mullvad. :)
You can also use Leta, which proxies google search results through mullvad.
This setup is great.
Appreciate you taking the time, I've got some research to do!
