I don’t have that phone anymore but I used WebApps for banking and chatting and they worked well. Now their app store is much much bigger though.

I bought a Linux phone back in 2015 (BQ Aquaris 5 running Ubuntu Touch) and even back then with the flagrant lack of apps the phone was usable

Green Mile 😭😭😭😭😭

So typically the asshole will be the unionist. Checks out!

Same here, whether I’m using VPN or not.

Whoever doesn’t obey USA’s commands, USA calls a dictator, and then starts a vilifying campaign to justify intervening and getting rid of him/them. The EU always plays along and certainly Ukraine will not be an exception because it’s all business to them (Putin included) and war is the most profitable of all businesses.

That’s true for me as well, some updates seem to change up battery usage for apparently no reason

Well it’s not about 100% privacy, because that’s pretty much impossible, it’s about MINIMIZING the amount of information they have about us, that information they can use in a variety of detrimental ways against us, to manipulate public opinion and keep us herded in and controlled, apart from money they make from selling it of course.

It’s not a collective effort towards changing the general people or anything idealistic like that, since big tech is not gonna disappear no matter how big privacy-focused stuff gets (and it’s certainly powerful enough to crush all alternative projects if they start growing too much, they’ll never let themselves get overpowered), I view it rather as an individual measure to resist them ultimately thinking for me and guiding my life or my criteria or how I see myself and others.

In the past I used Proton VPN and now I use Mullvad. It happened with both.

Yeah it doesn’t make much sense for a custom ROM to use up the battery quicker since technically it’s got a lot less bloatware, but I have seen it mentioned a few times. In my case I don’t have GrapheneOS but if I use a VPN on my phone, the battery time gets almost cut in half. I guess then it depends on the device.

Talk about completely disproportionate comparisons

Wow so much info, thanks a lot!!

I too have read that GrapheneOS is heavy on the battery.

I didn’t say they weren’t. I simply think that the implications for the average user often get blown out of proportion, because I’ve heard from absolutely no one who uses eOS on the forums for example that they’ve had a problem with their phones derived from that delay.

It does! And you can disable microg if you want like I have.

I’ve been on eOS for four years and I have never had a single security incident. You people love to parrot the same shit over and over
