If your on Android;

Amdroid is the best alarm app I’m aware of. (Called “Alarm clock for heavy sleepers” on play store)

(Best few bucks Ive spent on an app, ad version just has ads in ui, nothing crazy) It has a feature where 5 min after you dismiss the alarm, it’ll send a notification asking if your awake. If you don’t respond after a while, the alarm goes again. (Times adjustable)

Sorry I’ve typed more than intended too, I’ll put most under a spoiler so its not a wall of text…

Or when the characters forget about their bag full of revive potions as they watch their beloved companions die. It’s not like the potions are rare or unique, every store in the world sells them, even your car sells them in FF15.

The enemies clearly know about them too, how else would you explain the unlimited supply soldiers and monsters we use to grind levels?

“You have all the power in the world, can slice through a steel army like butter, but tell me adventure, can you break a locked door?”

Start today!!! Today’s a great day to tell all your friends and family absurd things with zero repercussions. (As long as you say the magic phrase at the end)

Jokes on you, its groundhog day so I can just do it right tomorrow

Ah shoot I mixed that up, meant to say “the lion can jump higher…” Oh well.

The lion can’t jump higher than the house

Thats a nice work around lol.

I haven’t tried keepassium. My main device is an android, so the IOS search was brief and focused on ones that didn’t say “in-app purchases”.

Keepassdx is sadly not on ios.

The only good one I’ve found is called strongbox. Free version works fine, but the pro version prices are insanity for something that is free everywhere else. I could get behind a lifetime buy of $10, but for $99 hell no. (Monthly sub is $3 or $25/year).

Looking at the app store now, most of the keepass apps have some form of in app purchace.

Only truly free one is call keepass touch, but frankly when I tired it, it sucked.

The way I see it, Password managers protect best against website password leaks.

By making it very easy to have different passwords for everything, one password leak won’t compromise your entire online portfolio.

The self managed nature of keypass and vault warden makes them less susceptible to a major fup outside your control, i.e A business can’t mismanage your passwords resulting in a major leak or deletion. For better or worse, you’re in charge of your own database.

They won’t protect you from various malware, except maybe a key logger that doesnt know how to copy the file? If someone actually wanted into your database without brute force, they could figure it out. If you find malware that’s been on your system for a while (longer than you download something and AV stops it before running), change all your passwords. Luckily you’ll have a handy list of everything.

Edit; another advantage is if they take over the computer/steal files there’s not much they can do with an encrypted password file, its better than a txt doc with all your stuff.

Some stalls are tiny, and in old construction there’s not a lot you can do with out major renovations. I’m sure the extra leg room is appreciated by taller folks, or if you can’t really bend your lower legs in towards you.

Everyone saying you can’t have Graphene and google store apps as a daily driver must have given up day one or had some important app that they needed. I’m about 10 months in now.

Graphene sandboxes all the apps, including google services. Yes, it’d be ideal to ditch google all together but reality makes that not feasible for a lot of people. Which is why graphene went through the effort to makes google services work.

You do have to download Google Services Graphenes own mini “app store”. gmail 2FA works, play store/and restoring purchases works, Android Auto works, push notifications work.

It is true, some apps do not work on graphene. Mostly banking apps with extra security. There is a compatibility mode you can set for the app that reduces Graphene’s restrictions on the app. Sometimes that works.

So in short, yes the meme is true. We are still locked into google one way or another, but at least we don’t have to let them and other apps steal all our data.

How many set their password to your example? They just look up the password when they forget.

Its cool you got them using bitwarden, I should probably get my company to switch, I know there’s a PDF company account passwords floating around…but I’m pretty low on the totem pole.

And remember these are the same people handling all your personal info on the computer :)

At least mine knows how to password protect pdfs…and then sends me the password in a separate email. Its not a fail, but I wouldn’t call it a success either.

Adding on some more notes/suggestions

• Open Camera is also a great camera alternative. You still can use all the fancy features like “night” mode, the UI is just a bit less straightforward.

• Heliboard is also an excellent keyboard choice, if you don’t like FUTO’s open but not FOSS model

• Another part of the battery issue might be the “new toy effect”, its been a few weeks so may not be the case anymore, but when we get a new phone we spend hours and hours it setting up skewing our perception of the battery life. (I typically get 3 full days on Graphine on P9, with light to moderate use)

• If you don’t like Vanadium, you can try Firefox(or a fork), it has extension support, which includes UBlock Origin. There are some good privacy reasons Graphine ships with a chromium browser that you can read on the website.

• For syncing data, Syncthing is an excellent choice. There is an IOS app fork, called Mobius Sync. Due to Apple restriction is doesn’t run in the background, but just opening the app and letting it sync is a lot easier than manually doing stuff (I set a Shortcut script to open the app everyday when I’m typically using my ipad). Your also limited by Apple’s “user” file system. On Android you can sync anything except the root folder, great for music, photos, docs, any, exported app settings files, and keypass files if you go that route for passwords.

• F-Droid is a great source for open-source apps. I have hesitations on the Auroa store, read it can’t verifiy apps like play store does so something could be inserted mid-tranaction. Likely hood is probably 0, but something to consider.

• You can replace the home screen launcher, the one Graphine ships with is pretty basic. Lawnchair is a very popular one. I use one called Neo Launcher (from F-droid, not the play store one with same name). There are a ton of different takes on what a launcher can be, from a super minimalist text list of your apps and some with some insane customization options.

• Widgets are definitely app-based for what you get. Apple has a more cohesive design across them that app devs tend to (have to?) follow, while android is just a free for all.

Find yourself a QR scanner that gives you a preview of what the code is before sending you to the open web.

I like this one, found it on F-droid. “QR Scanner (PFA)” https://github.com/SecUSo/privacy-friendly-qr-scanner

For example, the QR code sirico@feddit.uk posted (it can scan from a saved picture too) shows me this;

Yeah, you gotta put that stuff in the annoying neighbor’s yard
