Alternatively:

  • Install GrapheneOS
  • Never concern yourself with invasive software again

I've never even seen Gemini on my phone.

None of my work apps nor my banks app are compatible with Graphene. We need legislation at this point.

I don't believe you

So are we just casually mentioning Graphene in every Android article like Linux is mentioned in every Windows article? How many new phones actually support Graphene?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Pretty much. For all the same reasons. Both of them solve all sorts of problems.

graphene cant be installed on just any device. the list is quite small actually.

I'm aware, thank you.

Yeah. If you never install software that is.

A C64 doesn't run invasive software either.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. A GrapheneOS device and a Commodore 64 are basically the same thing.

GrapheneOS without any invasive apps is really bare-bones and limited, that's what I wanted to say using hyperbole, but I guess figures of speech are too advanced for some people.
