Hi. I just got a new phone (Motorola) and spent a bunch of time manually removing access to location etc. I hate Google so much, “don’t do evil” my ass. I’m just looking for my blindspots. Im not in tech so, what should be disabled to keep my phone private?
Stop reinventing the wheel. Privacy is not single player. When you do everything manually, who’s going to copy you? GrapheneOS already solves half the problem, so start there.
GrapheneOS doesn’t support Motorola phones
Which is why you pick hardware to support the OS you want.
Ironically, you’re supporting Google by buying their hardware just to remove their software…
I know, GOS is the standard, but Lineage isnt far behind. Removes Google, removes telemetry, doesn’t sell your data (though ToS does say if you make an online account they warn you it’s public and can be shared, etc)
Google don’t give a shit about your lost sale out of the other trillion phones they sell. You’re just fucking yourself over.
When GrapheneOS gets big, they can start making phones, or get a GNI+Linux phone.
Childish attitude. It definitely makes a difference walking arround with a Google logo. If it’s okay for you: fine, says alot.
One should avoid giving money and presenting Google (and others) wherever and whenever possible.
No one’s looking at your logo. The case covers it.
Samsung, Apple and Xiaomi ain’t making phones any more libre.
For my next phone, I’m planning on getting a used Pixel or possibly something from whatever OEM they’ve partnered with
Been waiting so long, if only they could give us a sneak peek or hint or something
Maybe they don’t because there is not much to show.
You don’t know refund?
