setting up an android phone for the first time in a long while.
all four of:
- mullvad
- signal
- standard notes
- protonmail
had easily locatable/downloadable APKs, to avoid having to use a google account at all.
pretty amazing!
@sneak or just use f-droid
@Stmuk f-droid signs all of their releases with f-droid keys. the signatures aren't end-to-end; anyone compromising f-droid can backdoor any app.
absolutely no thank you
@sneak If you haven't already, check out Aurora Store app. It's basically a different front for the Play Store that uses dummy accounts to download apps for you.
@sneak Why "Signal" and not "Threma" ? With Signal, I have to give out my phone number in order to use the service.
Just because Signal is free, it should not be prioritised when there are better solutions.
@sneak I’ve found the progressive web app for the ProtonMail beta is better than the mobile app.
@sneak Have you considered #GrapheneOS?
