What is the best way to install Obtainium and App Verifier, directly from github? I have zero problem with only using the GrapheneOS app store and Accrescent, but the selection is pretty limited unless I'm missing some information. Otherwise, I'm read to remove everything F-Droid related.
I see, I hadn't heard of that personally, what alternatives are there in that case? Just using the play store or using a source like github directly? Or maybe another established app store exists
If your language isn't English, the modern tech world wasn't built for you. I wrote about what that costs and what we might do about it:

Not bad at all, it takes a little getting used to but it's really still a lot like Android. Worth mentioning that I still use the Play Store but the apps are containerized so it gives you more privacy and whenever possible, I always choose to use F-Droid for my apps or specifically Droidify.
Proton is definitely a solid alternative, but if you want another self-hosted option, then nextcloud is ideal, it's all services in one and you won't need the multiple apps I mention in the article.
It has document sharing, video calls, google docs type editing, photos, calendar, etc.
There is a Subaro Outback (car), whose rear end is filled with stickers that say: Linux user since 1991, My other ride runs on Linux, I hack because I care and free wifi, I turn coffee into code, Linux fanboy, Linux may the beer be with you, Linux is the way, and got Linux? The car's number plate says: Bloomfield, New Jersey, LINUXED, Garden State, and LYNNES.
Spotted a riced-up sleeper build. 😳
I'm starting to realize my degoogling article could've touched on more services like Google Maps and Google Drive, besides Search and Gmail.
Maybe worth another visit to go even deeper.
While I still use Google Search, I use DuckDuckGo more and more. On the phone with GrapheneOS I have Vanadium browser which has it as default. It's also a practical decision because the results are often more useful than Google's.
I use Yahoo for email and just made an account with ProtonMail too.
Biggest surprise: the hardest part wasn’t the tools, it was habits.
The convenience lock-in is real.
I tried to “degoogle” my life without making it worse.
No productivity loss, no weird compromises, just slowly replacing things that actually mattered.
I wrote about what worked, what didn’t, and what surprised me:

I assume the journey was well worth it
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a tiny, rice sized magnetic robot that can treat kidney stones without surgery. Guided by external magnets, the soft micro robot can travel through the urinary tract and reach the stone directly.
i use nix btw
Just installed FreeBSD on one of my two drives on the PC yesterday. So far it kind of feels like Linux but different, then again it's only been a few hours of use. I hope FreeBSD will challenge my perception of OS's, I needed something fresh and different.

Thank you
Perfect timing, I'm glad I just installed this on my phone
