Not sure how it hasn't been said yet, but I really like Helium314's OpenBoard fork. Can't recommend enough.
This list is a must.
They're mods of the proprietary Discord client, so yeah they don't meet the criteria. But the mods themselves are open source which is nice.
Didn't realize they had one, appears a lot of functionality requires an account to use. I'd be cautious overall based on the privacy practices they use in their mobile app, doesn't seem to be a big concern for them and I'd be careful giving them any trust. But if you do wish to use them, their mobile site with a good content blocker would definitely be the best option (preferably without an account if possible).
I like the concept of Ground News, but about the privacy...
According to Exodus, their mobile app contains 9 trackers:
- Amplitude
- AppsFlyer
- Facebook Analytics
- Facebook Login
- Facebook Share
- Google Analytics
- Google Crashlytics
- Google Firebase Analytics
- Google Tag Manager
Also wants location, camera, phone state, and advertising ID access?!
No thanks.
Hard for me to understand how blocking valid email providers like Proton, Tutanota, and Skiff, would actually mitigate any abuse. All it's going to do is hurt the websites with this filter and prevent privacy-minded folks from signing up. Unfortunate to see, hopefully they get some common sense and don't block these for no reason.
If you don't have it on your Sony TV, I'd recommend installing another launcher like FLauncher which effectively does the same thing and gets rid of the garbage.
You can easily change launchers on the Shield, unlike the Fire TV for instance, which actively blocks it, to get rid of the advertising and garbage.
You can easily change launchers on the NVIDIA Shield and Chromecasts. Fire TV's are really the only devices that actively prevent changing launchers and try to force you to deal with their advertising.
Personally my recommendation is generally the Shield, or maybe an Apple TV depending on your use case. Expensive but well worth it imo, you really do get what you pay for.
If you need cheaper, then I'd probably go the Chromecast. Lesser of the two evils between like the Fire TV imo.
Last good version of Windows, RIP 🙏

It's an entirely new standard, so no, it won't just be a firmware patch.
