ijeffApple's called Android a "massive tracking device" in an internal presentation
Grammaton ClericYeah, but Android doesn’t make me constantly enter my password to do basic things. Also, Apple takes away a lot of control from their consumers.
I’ll take the phone that isn’t dumbed down tyvm
Ideally you shouldn’t have to compromise. GrapheneOS without Google is an option.
520It literally isn't - Graphene only supports Google Pixel phones.
TrickDacyYou’ve apparently missed the point. Graphene exists solely to harden security and privacy by disabling the googly parts of the phone. That is clearly what was meant by “without Google”
BaroqueInMindYou can do that without Graphene though
Possibly linuxGraphene is is way over hyped. You can basically the same thing with lineage os. The key is just not using gsf
LaggyKarBut then you can’t use any apps that require Play Services. The killer feature of GrapheneOS is letting you run Play Services in a sandbox.
Microg will most jobs tho
But that is unethical. Don’t run proprietary software when there are good alternatives. I don’t want google anywhere near my devices
SatyrSackWhy would you even do that in a sandbox? Aren’t you sending your personal data to Google servers all the same?
You can use MicroG instead of play services and most apps will work.
