We've worked together on plenty of things in the past, so it's good to see you back, where you must know that Rudy has an IQ no higher than about 50. Anyway, regarding Graphene OS, it's my understanding, as it is yours, that it's a de-googled Android, which, much like ungoogled chromium, starts with the base code and, one by one, removes the data collection, blocks tracking, and focuses on user control - all of which are good things. As for me, I can't install GrapheneOS because my bootloader is not known to be rootable - so the simplest alternative to Graphene OS is what I do now. 1. I never set up Android to have a Google account integral in Settings. 2. I delete every Google app and package that doesn't break the system. 3. I replace each Google functionality I like, with its private equivalent. This works for me, but I'm more intelligent than most people on this ng are, so it won't work for the vast majority of posters to this newsgroup. But for those who own a modicum of knowledge, it's EASY to gain a huge leap in privacy simply by performing a few extremely logical very simple acts. A. Never allow the Google Account to become part of the Android settings. B. Log into Google GMail using any privacy-aware MUA (plenty exist). C. Log into the Google Play Store repo using a privacy-aware app finder. D. Log into the Google YouTube database using a privacy-aware replacement. E. Replace the Chrome browser with a privacy-aware replacement. etc. In my humblest of opinions, this is so logical and simple that anyone who "complains" that they can't have privacy is simply stating that their IQ is too low for them to understand the most basic simple components of privacy. Specifically, people like Rudy complain that they can't have privacy but what they're really telling us is their IQ is too low for them to understand it. So these low-IQ ignorant defeatists like Rudy claim, sans any evidence whatsoever, that GrapheneOS is riddled with privacy holes, when it's not. VanguardLH does the same thing. Their IQ is too low for them to understand. Yours is not, thank God.
