Best option, use graphene and keep the propriety stuff on a separate user profile.

There is also a WhatsApp to go on F-droid . So you need an account then you can use the webapp on the phone.

But yea stuff like that sucks.

I actually wanted to see how Graphene works so I was going to install it on my old pixel 3a, but it's no longer maintained. You know where I can get the last release images for the 3a?

Not sure unfortunately , I should have a copy somewhere actually but hey don't trust me. I would expect them to have them archived somewhere as well. You could check out the matrix chat and ask there. https://matrix.to/#/!UVEsOAdphEMYhxzTah:grapheneos.org?via=matrix.org&via=tchncs.de&via=nitro.chat

You're assuming they have a google pixel, also the grapheneos founder isn't trustworthy

If you use discord on a seperate user profile, you're still using discord, they still get your data. Sandboxing isn't a perfect solution

The correct thing is to refuse, it is your (or your parents) legally owned hardwarw and they can not control it. They can't force you to sign privacy policies

The fact that people are saying to comply with what your school says saddens me

Louis Rossmann still recommends GrapheneOS to this day. The drama of a programmer shouldn't extend to the quality of the (FOSS) code itself.

With FOSS, trust simply isn't necessary. Anyone can verify the functionality of the code.

It’s still necessary to some degree, but I get what you mean. I don’t quite trust and agree with the Lemmy dev’s because of their response to human right violation denial, it made me switch away from Lemmy.ml to Lemmy.world, but I still trust their software for the same reason you mentioned.

I don't trust lemmy.world because of their banning of piracy

I don't trust Lemmy world since they are fascist cuddling neo libs that block any that are not pro NATO

Great counter argument, I'm convinced!

Do I need the sarcasm tag again or are you clever enough to figure it out?

[-] LoveSausage@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Counter arguments has a premise of an argument.

But no Im stupid please elaborate.

[-] WldFyre@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Do you think Ukraine should just surrender to their invaders?

[-] LoveSausage@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I think the puppet regime In Ukraine should be negotiating for peace. Do you think Ukraine should just continue to follow their masters strings, until everyone is dead?

He have stepped down since march this year I believe. No need to trust , verify. He was a bit of a removed but that doesn't mean GOS is not trustworthy. Sandboxing on a separate profile ( truee separate which you only get on grapheneOS) combine with VPN , blocklist (VPN or DNS) and no gapps . Not that much. Especially if you run enterprise versions of apps. In EU it wouldn't be legal.

Depends on your leverage here. But best to change school policy here. In many countries it would not be possible to force people to install WhatsApp or other programs on personal devices. Otherwise they have their own software or use email. Another thing if they provide the hardware.
