The article I wrote is aimed at people who don't know how to or don't feel familiar with flashing a custom ROM. It's intended as a first step. About the bootloader, it is my understanding (I could be wrong, I should add!) that if you walk around with an unlocked phone, then someone who finds it and has the know-how could quite easily get into your phone (with your data on it). npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad @nprofile…f9ka @nprofile…k3vj I have used those methods too, especially on kids' phones. One issue is that you have to leave the bootloader unlocked with /e/OS, which is not secure. As second is that it's not entirely clear what is or what isn't happening with Google services on /e/OS; not technical enough to understand. My own phone is GrapheneOS atm. npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad @nprofile…nvkf @nprofile…rm8q @nprofile…fu0r Well, I don't, for one. npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad It is ironic that the European Commission has introduced a verification method by which its citizens must have their smartphones with them all the time. https://theprivacydad.com/a-first-look-at-the-eu-age-verification-app/ #eu #ageverification #mobilephones #privacy @nprofile…rm8q @nprofile…fu0r npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad @nprofile…twht https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/fp3/ npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad @nprofile…xzj6 Good to know, and lots of info in the video! npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad @nprofile…42ek Thanks, and good to know! npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad @nprofile…k3vj I'll have to look into what Shizuku does.

Compelling volunteer contributors to register their identities with Google runs against what the platform stands for. “But claiming those app identifiers on developers’ behalf is equally impossible, since that would give F-Droid a kind of exclusive ownership over apps it has no right to own. “F-Droid has been clear that if Google goes through this, it effectively ends the project as it currently exists.” #foss #android #opensource npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad @nprofile…z4df is on a roll! https://ghost.thenewoil.org/email/fc12afaa-5104-4efe-a622-a93c1a3f3af0/?ref=blog-newsletter #privacy #criticalthinking #philosophy npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad https://keepandroidopen.org/ #keepandroidopen #privacy #google #mobile npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad Thank you for the positive comments, Vishnu and Henry! npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad @nprofile…ntm0 Hi Jonah, The story is an effort to give feedback to the community from my perspective about something that isn't quite right.

I'll update the blog post. npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad @nprofile…at9n I think I installed it at the time because it was the only one out of the three I hadn't tried yet. Then I kept it because it works well. GrapheneOS is meant to be more secure than Calyx (see this comparison: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2022/04/21/grapheneos-or-calyxos/) but I've heard from people I respect that CalyxOS is fine too, if you have a normal threat model. npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad @nprofile…tcll https://european-alternatives.eu/ is such a great list for anyone interested in where data is stored! npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad @nprofile…tcll It's a good list! npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad @nprofile…qaky @nprofile…dtgc Ah, sorry, ok. No, I don't have any experience with those apps. I guess you already know about this: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/ . For what it is worth, I have found that creating a separate user profile and downloading from the Google Play Store has made some apps work that did not work with more private settings. npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad @nprofile…qaky Maybe check the last section here: https://theprivacydad.com/whats-it-like-using-calyxos-every-day/ "Creating a separate user for Google applications". That works for me on GrapheneOS. npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad @nprofile…cnaf @nprofile…80p5 @nprofile…w7c2 @nprofile…m7my I fully understand that. This is why I did the installation for my oldest child. Do you know someone who can do this for you (who knows what they are doing?). I wrote about my own worries here: https://theprivacydad.com/degoogle-a-smartphone-with-calyxos-in-under-30-minutes/ You can also order a phone with Calyx pre-installed: https://calyxos.org/get/ npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad @nprofile…dpz7 There is a similar story involving the Japanese noise artist Merzbow, a large bottle of coke, and a microphone. npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad For my oldest child, who is now a young adult, CalyxOS feels no different to using regular Android, with a couple of exceptions (interview). https://theprivacydad.com/i-ask-my-oldest-whats-it-like-using-calyxos-every-day/?token=9608bed2c4 @nprofile…80p5 @nprofile…w7c2 @nprofile…m7my #privacy #customrom #calyxos #proton #parenting npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad @nprofile…klhc Spam via email?

I was hoping to try it out on my child's Chromebook from school, but I think you need to hold down a boot key when restarting (F12 on a Thinkpad, for example), and I've read it won't work on Chromebooks admined by a school. npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad @npub16mz…uzxf With what?? npub1xh38u56xajx908scstgqc98k5nx9faaqys7mfmfwdta3ttk0hy9q82luv2 The Privacy Dad I've added an update to my article about installing Ubuntu on a Microsoft Surface Go 3 tablet.
