this is why we still don't have inbound routing and ipv6 on most networks

because it would take away the reason for google to be the intermediary on everything

100% accurate. When I started paying attention to all of the things I was addicted to and started cutting them out, the phone was high up there due to my privacy paranoia. I believe so long as your putting information onto an electronic device, it has the possibility of leaking private information. The only solution IMO is to stop using it. Now you don't even need to use it, as long as it travels with you they can know exactly what position you were standing in when it sent the sample back to the mothership. Plenty of these things not even a privacy OS can protect you against.

First, I started logging DNS, then I saw all the connections my device was making even when all apps were closed. Freaked out, then I started stripping apps down to only what I could tolerate. And over the years dropping more and more. I recently stripped down completely, removing google services and switching to obtainium and manually installing apps. Finally I turned off mobile data.

I currently have
- Obtainium
- Wireguard
- Organic Maps (for trails)
- Firefox
- Keyboard
- Contacts
- Phone
- QUIC (qksms clone)
- File manager
- Signal

Everything else I use firefox and pin pages.

I have all notifications turned off except for phone calls (most don't work without google anyway). I regularly lose it. I forget to charge it. It maybe sees 30 mins of screen time/day.
