					I've been swapping through a couple of ROM's recently for my Nexus 6P but I don't really like any of them a whole lot.. so I've been thinking to build my own from source. However I'd also like to discard Google while I'm at it, and instead go with F-droid, DuckDuckGo, and AOSP keyboard. The problem is that I currently don't see any viable alternatives to the following: Google Assistant, Google Play Services (particularly in-app purchases like those for devRant), Google Maps and Google Calendar. Which alternatives would you recommend, and which are you perhaps using yourself as alternatives? Thanks!8

					Recently I flashed Android 9 (Pie) on my Nexus, but to this day I still haven't logged into Google from it. One reason is because I don't know my password and I didn't git clone my password store yet (where it's contained). Another reason is because I want to reclaim my privacy and not be a data battery for a Matrix of convenience that feeds itself with my personal information. Eh, it sorta works out I guess. Yalp is an amazing alternative to the Play Store, and even offers its own shadow accounts to use along with Google Play.
 
 One problem though, while I've noticed that I could log in with my own account to get all my premium apps (couple hundred euros worth, so not easy to just discard) it apparently violates Google Play's ToS to do so from a third-party app. So I'm a bit hesitant to do that. Do you know of any viable alternative way to preserve my privacy yet install, keep and have validated those premium apps? I could download them from e.g. BlueStacks and export the apk's, but that'd be tedious and wouldn't be able to get those apps validated on my phone unless I log into Google there as well (which kinda defeats the purpose). Any suggestions?23

					Programmer OAth. Just read on a github repo
 
 0. I will only undertake honest and moral work. I will stand firm against any requirement that exploits or harms people.
 
 1. I will respect the learnings of those programmers who came before me, and share my learnings with those to come.
 
 2. I will remember that programming is art as well as science, and that warmth, empathy and understanding may outweigh a clever algorithm or technical argument.
 
 3. I will not be ashamed to say "I don't know", and I will ask for help when I am stuck.
 
 4. I will respect the privacy of my users, for their information is not disclosed to me that the world may know.
 
 5. I will tread most carefully in matters of life or death. I will be humble and recognize that I will make mistakes.
 
 6. I will remember that I do not write code for computers, but for people.
 
 7. I will consider the possible consequences of my code and actions. I will respect the difficulties of both social and technical problems.
 
 8. I will be diligent and take pride in my work.
 
 9. I will recognize that I can and will be wrong. I will keep an open mind, and listen to others carefully and with respect.4

					I am SOOO fucking sick of being asked if our website and gaming servers are going to be GDPR compliant. All these game owners in a panic changing everything they do just to conform to this law.
 
 Fuck GDPR. In all reality COME AT ME BITCH. The EU wants to grow a pair of balls and act like the world internet police? Bring it the FUCK on. You can't even stop pirating in your own country, so how the FUCK are you going to regulate and enforce this law on HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of servers, when your punk ass government can't even shutdown a single torrenting website.
 
 Give me a fucking break, and shame on you pussies for allowing it. All you people running around scared acting like your private gaming servers are important. I give a shit less how much work you put into your server. I have put more work than most anyone else, but you don't see me trying to act self important as if my gaming server is some fortune 500 company.
 
 Your server isn't important and neither are you. The government doesn't give a shit about your server so can we all just stop acting like this fucking matters. NO ONE FUCKING CARES ABOUT YOUR SERVER.
 
 NO ONE is going to come and sue you for not complying. GDPR is for business, and anyone that wants to argue no look it says right here it applies to all is a fucking MORON. Do you idiots stop and think or do you just believe everything typed out on paper.
 
 THEY CANT ENFORCE THIS ON EVERYONE. They don't have the resources. So use your fucking heads and stop being so fucking scared of a law that has no resources to stop you. THEY CAN"T DO ANYTHING. EU and whoever made their polices, I DARE them to try and touch my server, I WANT them to start something with me, just so I can show the rest of the world why the Internet is still the wild west and why they have no power over me.
 
 You think pirate bay is the only one who knows how to hide their server? You think pirate bay is the only one who keeps backups of their server to be able to re release in an instant somewhere else in the world? Bitch get real this is the internet, a place where a 5 year old can buy hand grenades from the Red Silk Road, and you wanna talk to me about your privacy? Go fuck yourself.
 
 It's not my problem some douche bag went onto a site that used his personal information in the wrong manner. So how about you do what everyone else does and browse ANONYMOUSLY. But no it would be to easy for governments to make their own citizens responsible. Instead they have to hold all of YOUR hands, because you people are to stupid to protect yourself.
 
 Wake the fuck up world, and stop being a bunch of whining little brats who cry for the government to bubble wrap your world so you can live safer. Natural selection is long overdue for a lot of morons still breathing air.18

					HIRE A SUCCESSFUL USDT-ETH-BTC INVESTMENT RECOVERY REVIEW VIA RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY
 
 Fraudulent activities in the cryptocurrency space can lead to devastating consequences, as I unfortunately discovered when I became a victim of a deceptive NFT minting site that resulted in a loss of 12 ETH. Initially, the website seemed entirely credible, presenting a polished exterior that cleverly masked the malicious intent hidden within its smart contract. Unaware of the lurking danger, I approved the transaction, only to witness my hard-earned funds vanish into thin air. To make matters worse, I had borrowed a loan to invest in this NFT project, believing it to be a promising opportunity. The loss of my funds not only impacted my finances but also added immense stress as I faced the obligation to repay the loan. In my pursuit of recovery, I turned to RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY, a team distinguished for their expertise in crypto fraud investigations. Their methodical approach was nothing short of impressive. They conducted a comprehensive analysis of the smart contract and quickly identified it as a modified version of a well-known scam contract. Leveraging advanced blockchain forensics, they traced my stolen ETH through Tornado Cash, a privacy-focused mixer often exploited by scammers to obscure the flow of illicit funds. Despite the significant obstacles they faced, the dedicated professionals at RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY demonstrated extraordinary perseverance and resourcefulness. They uncovered withdrawal patterns that intricately connected the stolen assets to various centralized exchanges, marking a pivotal breakthrough in the investigation. Through their relentless efforts and strategic legal maneuvers, they successfully froze the scammer’s accounts and recovered an astounding 90% of my lost ETH approximately 10 ETH. While I am immensely grateful to have regained the majority of my funds, I am equally appreciative of the professionalism and expertise exhibited by RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY. Their unwavering dedication to justice and their clients is truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone who finds themselves ensnared in a similar situation.
