    I have been slowly replacing apps with FOSS options installed with Obtainium. I’ve always leaned heavily that way, but now it’s everything, including a switching to self-hosted ntfy for notifications.

    I have a few more difficult options left like Tasker and AccuBattery, but soon I’ll be moving to Graphene with a full setup since everything else I used before has already been swapped. And I mean everything, even things like OBD2 scanning and core phone apps.
