Yeah… Bullshit.
I no longer have the confidence in Google to believe anything they’re telling me.
Another good reason to go for LineageOS/GrapheneOS.
🖕
GrapheneOS is such great experience
Just disrupting the tracking/advertising pipelines a little bit is reason enough to use GrapheneOS. Everything else it does is just an epic bonus for me.
If you have a pixel. I use calyxOS since I don’t and it’s a bit more secure than lineage.
Also, if you bought your phone through your cell provider, its probably not happening. The bootloader is probably locked. There miiight be some janky tutorials to get around it, but you might brick your phone. Ask me how i know.
I may have to finally make the switch. Are there any initial pains that you found from switching?
Honestly, I was surprised at the lack of compatability issues. It had less issues than any custom ROM I’ve used, and I’ve used a LOT of custom ROMS over the years.
I had to toggle off the anti exploit hardening for a few apps, but I eventually just ditched those apps and replaced them with their respective websites or with FOSS equiviliants.
Flashing the ROM was easier than my older Android phones too.
If you want your sms/mms, back them up.
Graphene is only for Pixel phones. That’s been enough to stop me from pursuing it.
I wish it was available for my phone :/
Did you read the article? The GrapheneOS devs are saying the exact same thing as Google here…
Personally though I wouldn’t trust the GrapheneOS devs much, they’re a bunch of divas.

You appear to have posted a negative opinion of 'ol Musky
Please remain seated, DOGE will collect you for reeducation soon.
Thanks Google!
I’m trying to convince my fiend to sell his still in box new phone and install Lineage OS on his current one.
Is this going to be another one where they fuck up the recog, cancel your google account and report you to the cops because you text pics of your kid to his doctor?
I already uninstalled it. Already enough Google spyware on my phone.

It’s the carrier’s phone, not yours. That’s how they offer such low prices.
That’s a mouthful of almost meaningless techno babble of a headline.
If it’s really what is described (an app that other apps can use to classify content without querying a server), seems like a good thing to me. There is a clear need for people to be able to filter spam and things they don’t want to see. Imagine a Lemmy app where you can set it to not show you US politics related posts, where it will work regardless of whether specific keywords are in the title. Couldn’t that kind of thing contribute to a more decentralized web?
Not from google it ain’t.
Google is usually evil but are you really going to just decide what technology is good or bad based on who made it instead of what it does?
lol ok
