Off The Grid, Lineage OS and F-Droid Open Source
In the "Off The Grid" (OTG) segment, Adam Curry discusses Lineage OS, an Android-based operating system stripped of Google services. He recommends using the F-Droid store for open-source apps and the FOSS browser for privacy. The segment warns against the new contact tracing systems being integrated into Apple and Google devices.
Hardened Android Operating Systems and App Tracking
A new hardened, Google-free Android operating system is being tested to prevent app-to-app communication and tracking.

It utilizes open-source repositories like F-Droid and K9 Mail to maintain a high level of user privacy.

Several community-led initiatives are highlighted, including Scott McKenzie's new short story "Death by Autopen" and the release of No Agenda Droid 2.0 on Android platforms. The app now includes a live stream schedule and a jingle board. Additionally, a new URL forward, climateinequality.com, is praised for its satirical take on global climate politics.
