They're more secure (albeit in many wsys security through obscurity) than private, although the privacy aspect is probably among the best you can get by default as far as I can tell. On the other hand, if you're willing to do some relatively simple steps and buy specific hardware, you can achieve better privacy and security on both mobile (graphene) and desktop (qubes) devices.
I personally dislike them for building unrepareable crap, tho.
This one
Calling them features doesn't substitute a kill.
That's an impressive commit graph, tho

That's not music. It's the sound RAM banks make when they pop.
"Misipi's" -- deduplicate the right way
I used to select piped instances via libretube (mobile Firefox lets you install non-approved extensions by making your own collection and choosing that in the browser). Basically I'd go to the extension's settings page, ping the available instances and choose some of the fastest ones. Although, it's not at all convenient.
Is it stable now? I've used it for a while last year, and the experience wasn't exactly pleasant. On the good side, they had lots of useful features like properly rendering comments with replies and stuff, sponsorblock and channel tabs, but it used to crash a lot for any reason. May try it out again, although newpipe (or, more precisely, tubular, which is yet another attempt at sponsorblock which is still alive) kinda has everything I personally need currently.
Idk, I probably haven't used Debian derivatives long enough, but isn't installing random .deb-s somewhat of a bad practice? I mean, repos exist for a reason (ignoring the fact they usually have like 3 packages in the official repos)
Regarding the title: as in just make?
Yeah, whatever. If you don't like the community, you leave it. Or make your own unofficial community with blackjack and hookers. As simple as that.
When doing connector stuff, you can almost always search for "connector name pinout". With trrs audio jacks it's somewhat weird at times, tho, as there's a standard and a mess Nokia did back in the day (ever wondered why their earphones sounded weird when connected to newer phonrs? That's 'cause they have swapped mic and ground "pins").
That said, you need the second one from here. If you have trouble with identifying which pin on the other side connected to where, you can always use a multimeter (but usually they are kinda mirrored, i.e. the tip would be the farthest one from the sleeve on both ends)
Hope it helps
Addition:
Addit2: shoul've scrolled a bit more for better pics. This one should work better than me explaining stuff with words:
*removed externally hosted image*
Addit3: vids are also available on yt. Search for "trrs replacement"
Huh, why would one make up a bird? A reference to the memespiracy theory that birds don't exist?
So, regarding the account: it depends. AFAIK, there's no "graphene account" in grapheneos, but you can use the regular google account after installing sandboxed play services. Note: you don't have to, the only things from google I personally used were gcam (since their hdr+ thingy is quite good) and photos (since foss alternatives I've tried can't 3d transform), both without play services and internet access. On other roms there may be an optional account (ex, /e/os).
Applications: there's a messaging app (regular SMS) and gallery (not sure here, tho, mb there wasn't; once again I decided to keep using google photos), otherwise - nope. All can be obtained from f-droid/play store/aurora. Syncing probably needs to be done via 3rd party stuff (I'd probably go with self-hosted nextcloud instance, which can be done rather easily and for free with tailscale if you have a spare laptop/pc)
App installation: I personally went with f-droid plus aurora (since the proprietary software I use doesn't rely on play services other than for sending notifications, exception - gcam, but fixable with gcam services provider from f-droid with the caveat of not being able to use sandboxed play services due to the name collision). Idk how exactly sandboxed play services are "better" compared to f-droid, mb in terms of software availability? Otherwise I prefer f-droid since stuff there is Foss, trackerless and overall better audited (paste here the links to numerous articles about actual malware being found in play store).
Self-hosting nextcloud is relatively easy (I can drop some links later if you're interested), but you can also keep using whatever you used before. Also (correct me if I'm wrong) /e/ provides their cloud with some amount of free storage, so you may want to start with that.
Welp, the message you've cross-posted was since edited to include
Edit: They claim they will make that part open source too, eventually, and it is due to behavior of another browser: https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp-core/issues/62
A really solid option, in my experience. I'd even call it stable if they weren't mangling the config from time to time.
This one doesn't, tho, unless you care how presentable the back of your pc is... And mine was for a few years just an array of parts and wires on the side of my desk, soooo...
