That's simple and smart. I had played around with the thought of storing encrypted versions of my password manager vault freely available, and making the password a Ceasar cipher of the first letters of each chapter of some book I am sure to find freely online. Not so simple and smart, but at least some fun. Except maybe when you actually need to use it.

Ah, got it! That sounds like an unhealthy amount of trust to give to a container, but I understand the need to give that access to the mastercontainer.

I remember they saying the were too swamped to take on an Android version after Mull dev stopped, which is not the same as stopping. Mull actually stopped development, LibreWolf didn't - they should not be mentioned in the same sentence like that.

Do you think every company out there is stacked with the best and brightest? By definition, only a minority of employees can be considered that. Many companies run just fine on mediocrity, it all depends on how they intend to make money. Mediocrity can in many cases be an advantage for a company, if that allows one to set aside any shred of integrity at a shot of accomplishment and praise from executing on the many bullshit and unethical things many corproations bring in cash from.

I tried to find this, but had big issues finding where to toggle this. I find the default UI very cluttered and confusing.

I'm on Fairphone 4 with CalyxOS, and I am happy with that. I would not expect them to release a Fairphone 6 anytime soon, so unless OP has all the time in the world, the Fairphone 5 should be good if they want to go this route.

I use my self-hosted Nextcloud instance for this. Then sync to mobile using DAVx5. Calendar and contacts.

Cheers, this seems to be a good way to solve this for me! And thanks for also giving a way to have different profiles, was not aware of that!

I love this for redirecting YouTube-links to FreeTube.

I have been using this combined with Fluent Reader Lite for Android and a self-hosted FreshRSS-server to sync my feeds. Just recently found a workflow that works well for me: I will browse my feeds on my phone once in a while (very productive bathroom breaks....), showing only unread stories. I star any story I want to read later, mark the rest as read. With Fluent Reader on Linux set to only show starred, and I can then pick and choose whatever story I want to read from there on a bigger screen. Whenever I go some days without checking, I will just mark all spammy news outlets as read without checking the 400 unread stories.

Yes, proper regulation is difficult. My (limited) impression of EU regulation is that they often do have enough technology know-how to make regulations that to a large degree make sense, but not enough for them to be fool-proof. This is at least the case in the industry that I work in, which is also heavily regulated by EU. I don't know anything about the processes of making these regulations, and whether those shortcomings generally are the result of sneaky lobbying (most certainly this must be the case at least sometimes) or lack of know-how.

That's my setup (Mi Band 7). It works better than I anticipated. I want it to be as little in the way as possible (no notifications and vibrations), which this allows me to do. Can export database for processing elaewhere.
