Magic Earth isnt FOSS though, which was specifically requested by OP

It would be easy. Just install Waydroid and install an android app on the Android system. Look at Waydroid official install guide and maybe watch a video.

It shouldn’t be too taxing on the Pi 4 or 5, Waydroid runs an LXC container with x86_64 LineageOS. It works well, but requires Wayland.

Lol

It does not use adblock plus lists directly. The lists are hosted by Cromite. uBlock Origin is not available for any android chromium browser (other than kiwi I guess). The adblocker works well from my tests. I recommend adding filterlists from https://divested.dev/pages/dnsbl

Use Cromite. Fully open source, adblocking, and security hardened. See this browser table for conparisons: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers

Privacy.com allows you to create virtual cards, allowing you to set up rules for how money can be used through them. It also masks the receipt details that your bank would normal get access to so they can’t sell that data about what you purchased.

Some/most places outside the USA heavily rely on WhatsApp for communication. This is like saying “you dont need to be able to talk with your friends, family, or employer”

Basically, Flatpak stops Firefox from using its normal security measures for isolation. Librewolf (a fork of Firefox) has the same problems resulting from Flatpak.

Also, what do you mean the distro repo will update never? You just type the update command (eg. sudo dnf update -y) and software gets updated. If you dont like manually typing command, just set it up to auto run at boot.

Flatpak doesnt let the browser use its normal sandboxing for process isolation using user namespaces.

Flatpak weakens the security/isolation of Librewolf (and any browser). Since you are in Linux, you might as well use the distro repo, which will update whenever you update.

The Signal server is centralized, but it is also still open source under the AGPL license: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server

I dont think so. It would just require some ports open.

Yes, for a number of reasons like keyloggers and screen recorders without root or user warning required.

Piper TTS on Android is great, the project is called Sherpa Onnx. It doesn’t require permissions either.

The “hype” around XMPP is that it is simple and extensible. The server implementations of XMPP are very performant, especially compared to other protocols like Matrix that fit the same niche. I would like to see XMPP succeed, but what people want is a finished, unified product. Matrix, more so Element Matrix, succeeds in the personal messaging space because it provides a unified experience and a finished product. XMPP has been utilized by thousands of different projects, from Xbox game chats, to Zoom and WhatsApp, but each implementation is different and specialized. Conversations works great as a messenger, I recommend it. Easy to selfhost as well.

QKSMS is abandoned, QUIK is a maintained fork.

Flatpak shouldn’t require a reboot after install. I never have needed on any distro. It takes me about the same time as regular package manager. Odd to say the least.
