  Development of that has stopped, they are currently working on a new fork called Tubular, which has the additional option of being able to login with a YT account.

  Newpipe itself is also currently deciding on whether to do a complete rewrite or not, so the coming months might be a bit slow in terms of new features.

  Which is fair, but I’d still like to have the option to manually type in my area code, instead of having to turn on gps.

  To be clear, I haven’t come across a weather app that doesn’t allow that, but I also wouldn’t be surpised if there are some out there.

  With all that’s going on to systematically profile each and every person that ever went online, goes online, and will go online, that sounds 100% plausible and realistic to me.

  I’d love it if Signal officially supported UnifiedPush, it seems to be the most promising direct alternative to FCM. They started talking about quantum-resistant encryption or whatever, but at the same time resorted to using a websocket.

  Which is pretty much the least elegant way of doing it. Not something I’d expect from them, to be honest.

  Then there’s Tuta Mail, they have a much better way of handling push notifications, but it’s still their own thing too, and instead of promoting something like UnifiedPush, they write blogposts dragging Protonmail for not having an alternative.

  (Which I’m also annoyed by, but their posts about it seemed a bit pretentious, which I just hate to see.)

  GrapheneOS seems to be the all out best, from what I can tell. It’s just that their strict requirements needed to achieve this level of privacy and especially security severly limit the selection of devices you can use, which is a bummer.

  I’m using DivestOS on a OnePlus 5T, runs like a charm.

  But Divest is in dire need of funding right now, and might not be able to continue development, so that’s something to keep in mind, sadly

  Yeah, the default lineage cam today can’t do a whole lot either

  I am actually using a degoogled phone, and the only thing I’m missing are push notifications, for one single app. Everything else I use works just fine for me, but as always, ymmv

  And this is why I like Androids feature that automatically revokes permissions after a certain timeframe of not using an app
