I consider Graphine OS but on the other hand there is so little value left due to enshitification. A library card and a flip phone is probably the way to go.
Fuck you Pichai you fucking banchode.
TIL what a banchode is….
“Banchode” (often spelled “banchod” or “benchode”) is a vulgar Hindi/Gujarati slang insult roughly meaning “sister-fucker,” similar in strength to “motherfucker” in English.
Pronounced bench-o-day?
Ben-chode.. Add lots of fucking either before or after for authenticity
I am thinking about installing Graphene OS, any thoughts so far on how it work, or rather what hasn't worked on it? I am already using Brave and Proton and trying my best to get out of the AI overlord mess that is Google.
Honestly, it an easy switch and you're going to love the control you regain.
Second the req against Brave, the CEO is actively a fascist sympathizer.
Mullvad and Librewolf are both better, especially since Brave is Chrome-based and is going to stop supporting Manifest v2 when Google finally swings the axe.
Ironfix on Android is best equivalent to Mullvad on PC.
Also fuck Brave and its CEO and its crypto fascism bulkshit.
brave is not a good privacy choice (it has repeatedly shown that it is not to be trusted, it squeezes money out of you, and is run by a homophobic cryptobro (who is also the creator of javascript)
on android, use firefox or ironfox; on desktop, use librewolf
OK, how do you disable it permanently? Besides Graphene or mobile Linux?
Yes. To all of those.
Interesting how the majority of the comments refer to you being monitored on your own phone, ignoring that you will be monitored on everyone else's phone as well.
Much like how Facebook includes non-users in their social graph.
Probably something people aren't thinking about. How would this even work in two party consent states/countries?
The same way slopgen cleverly went around seemingly unbendable coryright laws: by ignoring the shit out of it, and half-scaring half-bribing the governments and the public to allow them to do whatever the fuck they want.
By ~~bribing~~ lobbying local politicians. As always, laws are only real when they’re enforced.
Which is also an important issue with google mail.
But this also violates the expectation that spoken conservations are private.
This will be quite illegal in all countries and states that require 2 party consent at minimum.
Incoming Google lawsuits in 3, 2, 1.
lol. they are exempt from copyright, they will be somehow exempt from this too.
