It works fine from the developer build. Better not use the app signed by F-Droid. Also there are two releases of Aves: Aves Gallery and Aves Gallery Libre

Best experience you’ll have is from Accrescent

On Accrescent* would be better

What country are you even talking about? How on Earth can you burst in and shout a mysterious country’s laws without context?

We’re not your flatmates

Why would you burn a small forest to do that? If you don’t want to pay a service and know how it has to be done (you would have to develop your agent), do it by hand

I think you can deploy Matrix with Yunohost, which is very convenient as a first self hosted server

In addition to my answer to your original request, I can inform about stuff related to WhatsApp.

You can use WhatsApp on a Matrix server with a bridge. You can either selfhost or find a server which has the WhatsApp bridge.

There is also Beeper - now acquired by Automattic (WordPress, …) - which is a company matrix server with many bridges (they employed the person developing most of them). You can use a FOSS matrix client like Element X or their own client which is not FOSS but requires far fewer permissions than the WhatsApp app

Molly would be the independent and FOSS Android client

But that’s not a replacement for WhatsApp + Signal was funded by Radio Free Asia (under CIA control), which is something to consider

BTW you don’t neee an external app to remove network permission on GrapheneOS

I fell for it, but haven’t actually used it yet. I’ll stick to Deepseek, at least I know where they stand + they are not the ones that can use my data against me and probably won’t hand them over to western governments (mine)

I think Louis Rossman has a video explaining why F-Droid is not great

Probably also Mullvad Browser and Tor Browser, but I don’t know them much

Vanadium

I don’t think you can install it outside of GrapheneOS though

Sentences?

OP not your pet

You mean Matrix, surely

I’ve looked into the sources because that was weird to me as well.

It’s because the web “client” is using nginx as a local web server. You’re selhosting the web client

The app still is 100% a frontend js client

OP did link to their public instance of the client, but gives more opportunities

Yas queen, way to go

You can go next step, not have Google Play on your phone

Oh that’s really great news. Thank you for mentioning that!

FUTO keyboard is actually a very good replacement. I think I stopped using it because it didn’t do correction on multiple languages at the same time. Maybe there is an option for that now

You’re wrong on one thing though. A good portion of tracking either takes place in the client or is enabled on the endpoint.
