Too, you can shove Google into its own separate User from everything else and keep it locked down in an always on VPN or the like. You don't owe it the primary user on your phone. You can even keep that user shutdown such that none of it runs until you explicitly switch over and run it.
GrapheneOS is pretty dang impressive.
Been on it consistently for over a decade now and have always been funky with sleep. I started back in undergrad when the pressure of life left me spiralling out of control, and have since always thought I was just a weird sleeper.
I have insomnia semi often, usually anxiety-induced, but I've never thought that it could be the bupropion directly.
Very curious, and good to know.
If you're on Android, as well, look into BlueBubbles. It bridges iMessage from a MacOS system to most any device/OS. I've used it for years now with my partner's family with very little issue (all of which were resolved with a restart).
Hard part is getting a MacOS system. I started with a VM, but eventually landed on a ~$100 Mac Mini 2014. Both solutions worked well, but the former is against Apple's TOS and requires spoofing things, so it's ultimately much less reliable than actual hardware.
If you are either A) bootloader unlocked or B) using a custom ROM via an exploit, your system is freely open to modification by a physical attacker, regardless.
I had never heard of BangleJS before and wow, that thing is awesome!
I'm neither a JS or Android/iOS developer, and this thing makes me want to try making a Fitbit-like fitness tracker and companion app.
I might seriously get one. I've been on a privacy/declouding kick lately and have somewhat missed my smart watch. This thing looks like great fun.
One con, too, is that Graphene drops support when Google does, limiting the options around buying quite older models and running them for a long time to keep price low.
I still appreciate GrapheneOS and understand why they drop support, but it is definitely a con compared to other ROMs which trend towards extending support longer.
