And this is why I like Androids feature that automatically revokes permissions after a certain timeframe of not using an app

Except from Google of course, the worst offender of privacy that exists.

They put all these "privacy" features in so other companies can't do what Google already does.

If you ever tried using a Google phone without Google apps, you realize how completely dependent almost all apps are on Googles API in the background, and most of them won't work without it.

I am actually using a degoogled phone, and the only thing I'm missing are push notifications, for one single app. Everything else I use works just fine for me, but as always, ymmv

What phone and mom are you using? I'm considering this for my next phone

Edit: ROM not mom haha

[-] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 5 points 9 months ago

I'm using DivestOS on a OnePlus 5T, runs like a charm.

But Divest is in dire need of funding right now, and might not be able to continue development, so that's something to keep in mind, sadly

Do you follow Graphene OS at all? What is your opinion on it?

[-] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 5 points 9 months ago

GrapheneOS seems to be the all out best, from what I can tell. It's just that their strict requirements needed to achieve this level of privacy and especially security severly limit the selection of devices you can use, which is a bummer.

[-] Gingernate@programming.dev 3 points 9 months ago

Thanks! I've been looking at graphene os too

I am using Fairphone (great company, they make ethical phones) together with /e/ OS, a fork of LineageOS. The great thing about Fairphone is that they officially support /e/ and offer a waranty of 5 years. In the past, they offered their Fairphone 2 a support of 7 years, including Software and Android version updates , which is absolutely mind-blowing. Also their phones are highly modular, you can switch basically everything (Battery, camera, speakers,...), they actually make an effort to improve production and manufacturing processes by e.g. using Fairtrade certified Gold, they obviously like Open Source,... And /e/ basically goes the route of "degoogling without making life inconvenient". They have an App Store preinstalled (Aurora Store), with which you can access Google Play apps. They include MicroG, if you wish to, which makes using apps depending on Google services a lot easier. Also they offer their own ecosystem with e.g. Mail, Calendar, etc. And they are nonprofit! So seriously, if you want to get a degoogled Phone, I'd recommend the Fairphone (5 or 4 both are okay, although 5 would probably be better) together with /e/ OS combo without any doubt. The phone is amazing and hasn't let me down, and although it has been quite a journey, I wouldn't want to have chocen otherwise.

Just my take :)
