Funkwhale may worth a look: https://www.funkwhale.audio/ I used for quite some time and was nice, the main issue was the unmaintained Android app.

I’ll get downvoted but to find music and have a tiny hair of privacy Apple Music may be efficient for the mainstream audience.

I download the audio that I like and store in a local server but I can’t expect every person in the world doing the same.

I can safely report that is not the reason why the US is more popular in Brazil.

My family can’t live without Netflix algorithm showing on their face the new documentary or show of the week. I use Stremio, pretty good stuff.

It would be nice if they would overcome the 720p/1080p limitation imposed by some stream services https://androidpcreview.com/netflix-hd-android-tv-box/

We should challenge some of those superlatives that projects such as GrapheneOS can coin from time to time. Those projects are not abstract master entities, they have people behind of it and they are not authorities in all subject matters. They are correct about Gecko browsers insecurities on Android however it may be questionable the use of the term “leagues ahead” in this comparative. I use GrapheneOS and Vanadium but I don’t believe that using some Gecko hardened browser would be so terrible like it sound. Specially if you are not a focused target. For example, I keep Tor as a secondary browser for some specific tasks on my phone.

People could perhaps start helping more the Servo project. They really need some help and for those that program in Rust or want to learn it this could be a very good place to devote your attention.

A significant security drawback with many alternative Android operating systems is that they either require or are commonly used with root access, which inherently weakens the device’s security model. GrapheneOS, by contrast, is designed to be used without root access. Traditional root implementations fundamentally compromise Android’s security mechanisms like verified boot, app sandboxing, and the principle of least privilege, making the device much more vulnerable to exploitation.

South american here, I grew up knowing those animals and capybaras and I find fascinating when the rest of the world get to know those creatures and have a blast. It is cool that something trivial for me is something amusing for someone else.

Here are two interesting( I guess) shots:

Google turning Pixels more and more complicated to have alternative OS isn’t a good sign. I hope GrapheneOS come up with a open source and secure phone alternative. Fairphone or TeraCubes using alternative OSes aren’t private or secure enough. I hate to say that but if I would be in the market today for a phone I’d be considering an IPhone.

Do you have a Netflix plugin 4K setup working?

I ask because even in the plugin page there are a few indications contradictory that indicates otherwise:

First is the warning in the main page: “DUE TO CHANGES TO THE WEBSITE THAT PREVENT THE PROPER PLAYBACK OF VIDEOS, THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ADD-ON HAS BEEN SUSPENDED. THE VIDEO PLAYBACK, WHEN IT WORKS, IS LIMITED TO SD QUALITY AND ONLY ON SOME LINUX/ANDROID DEVICES.”

Second in the section “Reference table of high resolution” there is a footnote saying the following: “*4 Hardware decoding and 4k are supported only to devices with Netflix certification, Widevine Security Level L1 and HDCP 2.2 hardware.”

Third in the list of 1080P 4k Android tested devices we see basically only Netflix approved devices: https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix/wiki/List-of-1080P-4k-Android-tested-devices

Just a heads up about this approach, non approved boxes are limited by stream providers such as Netflix to 1080p HD:

https://androidpcreview.com/netflix-hd-android-tv-box/

So if you have a 4K TV and a 4K Netflix plan but plan to use a “custom” box your service will be limited to 1080p HD. Not entire bad but can be a frustration point if you get all built and realize it later.

Gzus, quite dark comment/thought

It looks that part of it is proprietary https://docs.sailfishos.org/Services/Development/Sailfish_OS_Source/

I’m using Grayjay because I can follow PeerTube and Patreon content in one single place

One thing to realize is that you are not transitioning for better features. The whole reason of this switch is for much better control in security and privacy.

So, in the end, it sounds that is better to use Secureblue as it is since it seems to support quite a lot of the things that Bazzite does. Am I following this right?

Was looking for this question

Most apps stated in their website if not all are closed source

Is there a good guide to self host?

Hahaha… I’m not gonna lie, you probably nailed my current state
