I give up… Privacy is a fool’s game and it’s a losing one at that. We are slowly entering a world where more and more requirements are made on people to own a regular non-hipster cell phone. There are places you can’t even buy parking or look at a restaurant menu without having a proper cell phone.
Maybe the answer is not to flash some obscure on life support operating system on your Google pixel but rather… maybe the answer is to work within the system and simply adjust privacy controls as allotted?
Just install GrapheneOS. Simple.
I think they were saying that, with the google pixel reference in the post. Graphene also has issues, certain apps and services flat out dont work, Its not for everyone. but it is infinitely better than stock imo.
Yes some don’t work but frankly none I needed. Originally my banking app did not work, but they upgraded it and after that it worked fine. So I would say mostly it just works. Not all apps even work on all stock phones either.
Being treated like cattle is for everyone though it seems.
Normies get what they deserve
Its a fight against corps and bad actors. Why attack potential allies? Genuinely hate people like you. you arent better than these people, get a grip.
That’s not an attack, thats a comment on the current reality.
Typical GrapheneOS user. Blindly shills it without even reading the thread.
I did read the post. Way easier to install GrapheneOS then it is to fiddle with non-existent privacy controls on stock. GrapheneOS is highly popular and pretty much just works so the on life support thing is BS. Yes if you must have one of the few apps that don’t work, sure you’ll have to use stock or just not use the app. I’ve not found any apps that I need that don’t run on GrapheneOS but there are some.
Keep in mind too, that not all apps work on all stock phones either for one reason or another.
I think perhaps you missed the context there. The future for Android custom ROMs like GrapheneOS is looking quite bleak currently, even its developers have acknowledged this.
Why? Google closing android development? Lack of hardware to install it on?
God forbid the normie has to do anything to protect himself.
