jacktherippah,

No, no one cares. I’m the weird/paranoid one for being weary of data collection by tech companies.

jacktherippah,

Ugh. I would love to stop using it but I need it for school. My college regularly posts information on Facebook groups instead of its own websites and I need Messenger for communication/group work in college.

jacktherippah,

I’m in South East Asia (won’t reveal more for privacy reasons). Facebook is really popular here.

jacktherippah,

That’s impossible to avoid actually. That’s how all colleges in my country work and generally that’s how life works. Facebook is massive here and Messenger is the most popular instant messaging app among the youth.

Mullvad and Brave on desktop. Vanadium and Cromite/Brave on Android.

jacktherippah,

Being invite only makes it seem like some kind of cool club.

jacktherippah,

Nice, I got a renewed one from Amazon this year for $330. It was as good as new, no scratches whatsoever, battery health was at 99% and still had 3 months of warranty left.

jacktherippah,

It’s too expensive for me. Not worth it when a used Pixel is way cheaper, has way better hardware and has support for GrapheneOS.

jacktherippah,

Boy do I wish the same thing would happen to Meta.

You’ll be back, soon you’ll see, you’ll remember that you belong to me 🎶

jacktherippah,

This is too funny. What a great post to wake up to lmfao.

jacktherippah, (edited )

Yes, it is. I mean, GrapheneOS is the gold standard for privacy&security, but even stock Pixel is a good step up. Think of it like this: on stock Pixel, only Google is tracking you, not Google + Samsung, or Google + Xiaomi. Just Google. It’s guaranteed to be a step up from all other Android phones, stock or not.

jacktherippah,

Vanadium for when I need to log in and Cromite for daily browsing.

a want to buy a tablet to take notes at school

Basically title, but I don’t want an iPad because of my “open source mindset” ik it sounds cringe but fr I hate Apple’s philosophy and I don’t want an iPhone to sync every shit. Also I’d like to have a tablet that doesn’t all my data to some big corporation (like Xiaomi or Google), and I don’t know where to start...

jacktherippah,

Yes. A Pixel Tablet was released recently. GrapheneOS (a good privacy-focused custom ROM) supports it too. And iirc the tablet supports USI2.0 stylus. But it’s 500$ US brand new

jacktherippah,

I started caring about privacy at the tail end of high school. I started running LineageOS with microG then. Now that I’m in college, I’ve quit most mainstream social media, and I run GrapheneOS.

jacktherippah,

You’re seriously gonna believe a “trust me bro” from big tech?

My privacy journey and privacy questions

Online privacy: Best privacy related thing I’ve done is use a nickname. If I search my real name on Google, only two results show up (and my Instagram, but I deleted it) from the same site, my place in some school competition. That’s it! But if I search my made-up nickname… Github, Gitlab, Reddit, StackOverflow,...

jacktherippah,

Good take. IMO, lots of people in the privacy community need to hear this take.

Graphene OS on Pixel 6a?

Has anyone used it? What was your experience with install/performance? I’m thinking of getting one because it has decent specs for $250. I don’t need banking apps or anything like that, and the only social media app I need is snapchat (I know that sort of defeats the purpose, but I just want better privacy, not perfect).

jacktherippah,

I have a Pixel 6 Pro. Different phone, but same generation and same SoC so the experience should probably large be the same. I had zero problems installing GrapheneOS. The web installer was much easier to use than recoveries like TWRP. Performance is really good, fast and smooth. Can’t tell the difference between GOS and stock. Hope that answers your questions.
