I hate that most people don’t want to care for convient’s sake… “You’re only making your life harder for yourself”. I simply want to be in control, not the corpos.

True. Edited my comment to be more accurate :)

If something is free, you’re the product in almost all cases.

What is project 2025

Ermm, wrong emoji 🤓☝️

I don’t at all understand churches advertising… Maybe because of my European ass? To my knowledge churches are not about profit? I get that you want to announce your service times and such, but put that in a small column in a newspaper for the ones interested or something lol

Thanks for the clear explenation! Further comments say it’s a pretty neutral identification, but to me it sounds like there’s two sides of it and one is bad. I presume this feeling is incorrect?

Pardon my ignorance, but what does cis mean?

If you main issue is the need to download apps from the Play Store, consider Aurora Store.

No app on GOS has root access. Not even Play services, the whole point of the sandboxing. You remain in control over the app’s permissions, as you mentioned.

[…] and as another user said they are somewhat sandboxed.

I was shocked to find out that the hardest part of the installation was finding a Chromium based browser on PC lol

All you have to do to install GrapheneOS is press one button in the WebUI. No other ‘ROM’ has been easier to install.

I’m glad if they take my account down for me, actually

Makes sense. Whenever I open Firefox, of opens on the (empty) homescreen where I can start typing in the URL bar right away. But everyone has got their own ways!

It gets me wondering, I have never use a search bar widget in my life and I find them rather setting in the way… My search bar is just 1 tap away inside Firefox, which is also on the desktop… I’ve not seen many people around me use it

Do people really use it?

I suggest Droid-ify over the F-Droid store for ease of use, but both work fine

To me I love to have control over what I update, I agree with it not being inconvenient. For other it might so it’s not really necessary to be mean about it!

Definitely do! I also suggest Droid-ify for FOSS apps :)

It does function just like any other phone so far I’ve tested. No app that simply doesn’t work. And if it doesn’t, you can simply exploit the GOS hardening in settings to improve compatibility. You overall have more control over any app, which I like

What?

Yup. Fearing the same as well. All I’m asking for is a car, not a Windows computer.
