Fuck them. i have already opted-out for your tracking shit, why are you keeping nagging me each week (ruffly) ?
Fuck them also to disable “incognito mode” on mobile after idle. Real bastards.
Yes, I try to avoid their products but 10y+ habits is hard to beat.
Vanilla AOSP is an option if you violently distrust Lineage. Or if other projects like Divest, Calyx or Graphene are acceptable, buy supported hardware. A used Pixel, for example, is much less than an iPhone.
I don’t have anything against Lineage but the claims have to be taken with a grain of salt for anything concerning security.
I heard about Graphene and it might be a more credible solution, but I have lost interest into opensource mobile, to be honest. My iPhone is just a glorified 2FA device for work and administrative entities (so closed source) with Telephone capability (GSM network is proprietary).
Yeah, I getcha. As a green fellow, I’m not yet much help for evaluating the security of projects by more than hearsay.
Compatibility with work and network requirements is unfortunately a pain still. It seems as though you might just be best off as you are.
