TubeArchivist works well for me. It also has a metadata plugin for Jellyfin

The EULA states that you are not allowed to remove Steam’s DRM from the game, so the compiled version and the Steam version will have to be authenticated through Steam’s servers anyway. It looks like you can compile the game with Visual Studio, but you won’t be able to play it without buying it first or breaking laws.

This Matrix is unrelated to the open source Matrix protocol: https://matrix.org/blog/2024/12/unrelated-cybercriminal-network-taken-down/

The free downloads are slow, but as books are usually small, it is perfectly usable without donating.

Looks like Discord will do a Reddit in the near future.

I recommend switching to Matrix.

You don’t install the apps “sandboxed”. You can install the Google services like any normal app (in the “Apps” app). The Google services will then only have very limited permissions, for example they won’t be able to see your location, camera, contacts etc. by default and you can grant these permissions like to any other app.

The only thing that changes is that you have the option to install Google services and that you have the option to grant them permissions they would have limitlessly on a “normal” Android phone.

Your four mentioned apps should work on GrapheneOS without any problems, the only apps I had difficulties with were banking apps. The Google Play Store won’t be installed by default though, so you will need to install it in the “Apps” app. (I recommend using F-Droid to find alernative apps, although you won’t find something like Clash Royale on there. If you don’t want to use a Google account, you may want to look into Aurora Store (it provides anonymous access to the Play Store), which is also available of F-Droid)

I personally still use Firefox (Mull to be exact), because Vanadium doesn’t seem to have any good way of blocking ads. I found this on the internet in some R*ddit comment:

Chromium-based browsers like Vanadium and Bromite provide the strongest sandbox implementation, leagues ahead of the alternatives. It is much harder to escape from the sandbox and it provides much more than acting as a barrier to compromising the rest of the OS.

There is no joke, they just fulfilled their duty by posting something.
