I’m not familiar with GrapheneOS,
so I can’t say. Only used LineageOS,
since the CyanogenMod days.

AA4MG simply makes the normal AA work on MicroG devices, with a minimal amount of proprietary privacy invasive stuff.

No, I tried by changing the package name of another app to Google Maps, it did not work.

You can install 3th party GPS software though, but depending on the app, you might need AAXLU or KingInstaller to make the 3th party software show up in AA.

I’ve written it out in the AA4MG docs here

Yes

Not fully open source,
but less proprietary crap.

AA4MG (Android Auto 4 MicroG)

It allows to run Android Auto with:

• MicroG, open source alternative to Google Play Services)
• Empty stub APKs, for the other Google Android Auto dependencies (e.g. Google Maps, TTS Text To Speech, …)

That way the only proprietary thing you need,
is the actual Android Auto app,
not it’s hand full of sketchy propriety dependencies.

Full disclosure: I helped develop AA4MG + AAXLU :)

Boycot / protest against any data centers being built for AI bs in your local area.

They will not only drive up the prices for electronics, but also for electricity & water

Oh misread my bad,
not much experience with PostgreSQL

Yeah,
I did a speed test comparison between Oracle MySQL and MariaDB MySQL,
MariaDB is about 10 times faster.

FYI: When Oracle bought MySQL a lot of developers left and created MariaDB, so the brains behind the project moved, and in the meantime Oracle did a great job of fucking things up.

You can look into VaultWarden,
an open source self-hostable fork of BitWarden.

There are also free community instances available which you can use, however then you will depend on them for reliable uptime and security.

For M$ no clue, for browsing,
AdNauseam comes to mind.

It’s a fork of uBlock Origin,
which instead of blocking all the ads,
hides all the ads + clicks on them all in the background, which:

• Costs advertisers a lot of money
• Poisens your data profile, since they can’t make up your actual interests anymore

It’s more protest-ware then privacy-ware though,
since you’ll be overflooding them with bs data,
instead of minimizing the data collected.

You can install ClassyShark3xodus,
which can de-compile apps and scan them for trackers on the fly to figure it out yourself.

Do let us know the results :)

You should, privacy is a human right which is being stripped away from us.

You’re basically saying I don’t really care about my human rights.

Without privacy, you’re one step closer to an authoritan regime, where mass surveillance helps prevent an uprising of the people against it.
