Small set of further questions and forgive me for being an idiot but...

Question 0: how to use github? Is there a simple way like an "github appstore"? How do I know the github stuff is " legit"?

Question 1: I downloaded the zap.store via the apk (don't understand github option) and of course didn't check the hash (there are some command prompt items in the description, how to do that on a phone?

Question 2: it shows me updates available for a set of apps that are not available (yet?) On the regular play store orfdroidd or thebaurora store....

Well i think this thread is educational for how the new ones to this environment get confused by the non spoon fed solutions and alternatives to the conglomerates (google apple meta Microsoft)

Lots of kickups where people might give up... So thank you for your time and explanations

Thank you very much... I will incorporate these ideas along the way..... The next step is new profile and new app tires are always 🙏🙏🙏

For connecting in person, unlike in apps like signal, the app kind of knows who of your contacts by as the app because linked to the phone number.

It appears I would have to literally meet the person to scan my qr or send it via email or whatever, correct?

This link does not work for me.....

Maybe something missing?

Let me check on the permissions... As I am new to this world, I am more used to "click consent" everywhere

By the way I also took a look into simplexchat... But there you really need to connect in person, right?

I think i get it....

I can uninstall the store but not the framework and services because certain apps need them.

Or I set up a second profile that has "certain contamination" while the other remains Foss and secure....

Is that correct?

Still, would love to zapp you a lot.... Thanks so much for your help

Now in Japan it would be GM.....

Do you use grapheneos?

For my experience the only function of its appstore was do download google play....

And with it some play services and framework stuff, which are all supposed to run sandboxed"...

I am a beginner of this privacy tech and also have since installed f droid and aurora....

Do you have any recommendations on how do do things better?

If I uninstall these sandboxes features, will it crash the apps or do I need some replacent application?

Thanks again... I will try to incorporate your advise and have replaced Muslim pro with what you suggested.

Quranly, I guess just offers a duolinguo like feeling to the experience of reading.

Another app I have is and I d like to hear your opinion

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greentech.quran

🤣😂 well I was advised to switch from calyxos (google free) to grapheneos (sandboxed google)

So it come with google app store... But I have f droid and aurora as alternatives

If you teach me how to share links for apps, I will try.... What appsrore do you use?

Quranly.... I am beginner muslim, i use it to read quran in the phone

Muslim pro, it has some features like prayer reminder and compass.... Also to read Quran but I felt it less "easy to use"

No thanks.... Well strictly its an app to scan barcodes to see the origin of products in order to boycott Israel....

The guy math-hew kratter mentioned about the bitkey the flaw of having no display, therefore being vulnerable to certain attack vectors.....

I also liked the bitkey. But if you write it down

1 key in a hot wallet

1 key in a cold wallet with no display

1 key in someone else's hands...

All together the solution is kind of good but it feels still a bit awkward....

During the work break hour, today I read the Quran for half an hour instead of social media swiping and scolling.... It's much better!

I don't work for them by the way....

If youbwant to set up a multisig, they have great guide shown to don't hat with sparrow or specter. Also somehow, the wallet itself will confirm that it's part of that multisig. I haven't tried that out yet but was thinking about it.

Other than that they are really easy to use, and I would think they have all the feature one would need.

The price is 150usd, maybe that is the reason?

I Like the bitbox. If you have any questions you can speak to me personally. I am surely no expert but I'd love the discussion.

Haha "enjoy"

First the in China?......the minimum quality in China is Starbucks......

Love these beats.....

I think with the help of friends here, i got the main issue, keyboard input, solved...

However a phone free of the conglomerate systems means bringing friends and family over to threema signal and other apps... creating the network effect amd bringing this phone to life...

Thank you for the recommendation!
