So are the apps blocked even when you are not using the play services?
The best way would be using SimpleX do doing such stuff
The best way for me that I found is using Soulseek, sadly it's proprietary but it's really nice as a lot of people share on it
Dont know if it's a good idea to implement that in anyways, shorts/verticals formats are not meant to be profitable to people, too short to learn anything only to make money of it
Don't why you want to use Telegram but in any cases this is not a good idea, even with Forks. It maybe remove blobs but don't change the Telegram infrastructure
Do we know if the WhatsApp encryption is not breakable, if yes how? It could maybe have backdoors inside
I recommend you first to not use the distros that are just declinaison of Ubuntu with an other DE and KDE Neon is not worthing the time too. Personnaly I recommend you choosing a more "advanced" distro, KDE can be install on pretty much any distro, so try new things. I don't know where you are in your Linux journey but you need to test what fits you the most to find something perfect. So if you need something not really hard and can be installed with KDE, I recommend you Debian, kind of the best for your use case, BUT YOU NEED TO TEST.
EDIT : When using Debian you're not going to get the most recent packages, but it's a very good distro for the other things.
Great work! 👏
Even if it's not the same protection as with a VPN sharing your mobile connection is a better idea than using your real ISP connection. Cause in fact most of mobile ISP use about 200 people on the same IP adress, that's why for example these IPs are good for scraping, because Google and others web services whitelist these IPs cause they know that they are going to ban 200 people
Use an Open Source launcher, here my recommandations :
-
Lawnchair, basic launcher to replace stock launcher
-
Kvaesito, search based browser and a lot of customization
-
Mlauncher, fork of Olauncher, minimalistic and text based
100% right this is the way of helping the piracy
