Surprise!

I think that would be the next step, once they get enough idiots to hook onto that shit. For now, I believe, the ads are only on the platforms to which they’ve already hooked everyone. But I’m also an optimist, huh xD

Great overview! One thing to add here is this amazing comparison of the afrorementioned options: https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm

Regarding GrapheneOS, there are a few things that distinguish it from the rest:

• the devs are really paranoid in the good way: it’s to receive security updates even before official pixel OS, a lot of OS level security hardening, a lot of features developed specifically to reduce attack surface (e.g. ability to completely disable USB, periodical reboots etc)
• it supports some exclusive privacy features (e.g. full per-app network kill-switch, contacts & storage scopes, location rerouting for play services etc) aimed to protect your data from crapware you might be forced to install
• it supports official play store and play services but in the most restricted way possible — they’ve developed a shim that allows to run it without any privileges and any permissions; you can also install it only under a completely separate user to fully separate it from your data
• in terms of being barebones, it is like this out of the box but you can install absolutely anything on it (unless it depends on “strict” play integrity protection)

“They’ve stolen our rightfully stolen data!”, said the spokesman.

Fuck racism. But why the fuck are you posting a piece of shit produced by some scum denying the right to live to a group of people based on their hobby?

They can just go fuck themselves.

It is.

There’s only one solution to this: stop using google.

Oh my god! That’s disgusting! How?

“They shouldn’t have tried to shoot the drones down.” — that’s what they used to say, right? Right?

Even if you can’t have a GrapheneOS-powered phone, you still can have GrapheneOS camera: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.grapheneos.camera.play

It isn’t as feature-rich as OpenCamera or even native camera, but it does the job and it doesn’t spy on you.

You are absolutely right to question that! Let me check…

Ha, peasant! They’re not here to give you options, they’re here to make you watch more of the stupid garbage and click on more ads.

What about Uranium? How expensive is that?

Does it really NOT allow downloads/exports of the GPX/route files? Or am I just stupid?
