What are the minor security improvements?

Here is the slopscore report

Nothing super crazy. Maybe they hide it well?

They do have “MA Localassistant” app which is LLM related. So maybe?

EDIT: I am like 90% sure it is slop coded. The style of the apps is weird looking, not fully consistent between apps, and the quality seems kinda low. Many apps have thin 1-2 pixel boarders that remind me of other LLM produced things.

Plus many of the apps have unnecessary Network permissions. And one app called MA Cast claims it doesn’t need internet access but has full Network permission anyways.

Fairphobe is neat but I’d never use it. Underpowered device, weak hardware security. It seems it can run many OSes, idk which it comes with.

I only recommend GrapheneOS as a mobile OS because it takes phone security seriously. With the rise of surveillance capitalism and fascism, people need devices with strong security guarantees.

I don’t recommend Linux phones because often lack of basically any security. Desktop OSes have very different threat models compared to mobile OSes. Desktop linux (which Linux phones basically still are) lack strong software security because nothing is properly isolated and it is trivial for malware to exploit 0days or run persistent under your user (I can link to my comment on the insecurity of desktop Linux, which applies to most desktop OSes). Android has protected against most of the recent Local Privilege Escalation attacks present in the Linux kernel (eg copyfail) because of its security design. Pre-emptive security practices are important.

There is no privacy without security. There is no privacy without open source.

AOSP is fully open source. Google certified Android isn’t.

Sailfish is proprietary Linux. Gapps Android is proprietary AOSP. GrapheneOS is fully open-source and AOSP-based.

I stand by my point. Never use a proprietary OS of you care about your privacy. I don’t like proprietary Linux distros.

SailfishOS is proprietary. I would never trust a proprietary OS with my privacy.

I recommend this Lenspect on Linux. It uses VirusTotal API to scan files you select. It is available on Flathub with minimal permissions (basically just network permission to talk to VirusTotal).

AMONG US???

Flatpak does block userns. Apps on Android don’t get unprivileged user namespaces, and Chromium is at its strongest on Android. So I have to assume there is some way of making it secure inside an app sandbox.

I don’t want to see more fucking news of the Nazi “distro”, thanks.

I recommend Murine Launcher as your launcher. It allows for themed icon packs.

Avoid Fedora Flatpaks (their repo, not Flathub) because of broken apps. OBS got pissed at them a while back for user reporting bugs that were only present in the downstream repackaging by Fedora. Broken af.

That second link gave me cancer just reading some of that shit.

Nocturne

Gapless

Can you export/backup the data from the app?

Pretty sure Asahi fixed that problem already.

Maybe a MacBook M3 or 4 with the hopes that asahi gets support in the future? More RAM means much more money. I suggested a MacBook because OP like Mac.

For Mac, go with a Mac Book Neo.

Not what I said. I just gave a source for what OP was most likely saying, which is “the modern police got its origins in capturing escaped enslaved people”
