Thank you very much, I highly appreciate your help

No, thanks

Beside Lemmy , what other options are available for them?

I guesa location might be needed to scan WiFi, stay still, if the app is unknown and closed source it’s still better to avoid it

CalyxOS , though updates are temporarily paused for unknown period , you can get Fairphone 4 or Fairphone 5 , if privacy is your main concern and you don’t mind downgrading

This reminds me of abusive parents in Reddit real stories, whom inferior child got hurt by the golden child , then they make execuses for the golden one

Thank you, I’ve tried it before, but it still has some restrictions like extensions , in my experience I didn’t notice a difference as I don’t use a lot of extensions, but I still prefer to stay away from anything that Microsoft put limitations on , even if it doesn’t affect me now, it might later

Thank you, I’ll take your notes into consideration , currently it’s just learning C , I use Code::Block for it

Thank you , I’ll check it

Thank you , I’ll check it

Thank you, I didn’t mean I’ll rush and install all of the mentioned things in the post, but it motivates me to learn

actually I have two problems: 1- I don’t know where to start 2- I’m too lazdy to search for resources so I start

And please don’t mention that VS code piece of shit in front of me even as an example, I can only use Windows as OS , one product by Microsoft is enough to tortue me

A chromium user here , though so far I couldn’t find the “perfect” Android browser, I always end up using a chromium fork …

I’ll give it a try, from provided description by OP , I won’t end up cursing Geco like every time I use a Firefox fork , hope that’s the case

Edit: I tried it:

• didn’t find any bugs so far, even though it’s in alpha stage
• what I didn’t like about it is that its design sometimes remind me of very old Android browser, but that’s not something I’ll ditch the browser for
• a good thing about it is that I found no connections to google server when I checked DNS logs of it , I don’t know about all connections but most of it is to mozilla extensions server and to provided search engine , which is okay to me

I have been so lazy when it comes to learn emacs and vim, but this sounds interesting enough as a start

I’ve successfully debloated two googled ROMs before, once in stock and the other on a custom ROM with GApps prebuilt, and while you can debloat major parts like Google play and Google services, minor parts cause annoying crashes and functionality loss if you debloated it to get a full degoogled ROM, at that point , using a Vanilla ROM is better

Thank you

I like M3E very much , but on Chrome it sounds ugly

It depends on how you use your phone and what the physical attacker aims

• if you use a custom ROM with decrypted /data partition by default and no way to encrypt it, the attacker can get access to all of your data from recovery even if you’ve set a lock (like password/PIN/pattern) in the ROM, but if your custom ROM is encrypted and protected with a lock, the attacker must know your password to decrypt /data partition in recovery
• if the attacker aims to replace a part of your phone with a sus one (like a boot partition for example), he must be a developer who knows how to build things designed for your exact phone model, otherwise your phone will get bricked
• if your phone is rooted and you give root permission to sus modules and apps, it’s possible to install malware and do shady things in it without physical access

My recommendations:

• only use trusted ROMs
• only use an encrypted ROM ( official LineageOS is encrypted if I’m not wrong) , encrypted ROMs are slightly slower than unencrypted ones, but safer
• set a lock to the ROM
• avoid giving ROOT access to untrusted modules and apps
• (if you’re paranoid) clean flash every time you update or switch ROMs, as this will replace any sus partition flashed by an attacker
• (if you’re using decrypted ROM and custom recovery) set a password to the recovery, BUT if it’s orangefox make sure to remove the password before updating the recovery, otherwise you’ll get troubles

And Vanilla ROMs users
