I just want to say that all of your efforts put into this are not going unrecognized. This is really awesome.

It's even so organized too. If I could make recommendations in the future, I'd look at private OS' designed for smart watches. And I might've missed it, but I was curious about your opinion on pine devices, and Ubuntu Touch.

Bromite got shut down or something too. I mean it hasn't been updated in a while.

Sorry for asking, but what even is the use of having a Wireless Access Point? If you have a router then you should be all set, no?

I used to be addicted to Signal on Stock Android, but I've been sober for over a year using Molly on GOS.

A signal of hope

Yes it should although you may not get notifications of emails. I'd use ProtonMail or Tutanota instead anyway.

It works but the main issue is that full screen crashes the app. It never used to, but now it does so I use Clipious for my Android TV.

Brave is alright for normies and maybe as a secondary browser.

I'd try a SearX instance or SearX.be and use FireFox or Librewolf as a browser, at least as a primary way to look things up.

I'd just use a FOSS SMS app like Simple Messenger from F-Droid or if you have GrapheneOS or CalyxOS, use their default messengers.

I use Vanadium and sometimes DDG or Tor. Mulls a good, hardcore browser as well.

And for vanadium, I use an ad blocking DNS, which is https://dns.adguard.com/dns-query

Isn't perfect but it blocks some ads

I always wondered if I could install a private OS on a smart TV but never found one.

I like Android TVs because I can install f-droid apps on them. Like Cloudstream. I tried to debloat my TV by connecting my laptop to it and running the adb command to remove any bad apps I noticed, but even that's not perfect.

I wanna become an android developer someday and I might look into developing privacy apps focused on Android TVs.

Edit: I removed google play and it's services, so spyware shouldn't be getting updates on my TV and I got it a few years ago now, I think it's ok for privacy right now.

Slaves used to wear chains. Now they're all in debt. They've expanded slavery, that's all.
