  • Thanks for the detailed reply. I am planning to test drive GrapheneOS. The things making me doubt the switch is basically my payment applications (I do nearly all my payments via Gpay or similar apps), my camera, and compatibility with my fitness app (Garmin Connect). Other than that I don’t really have any worries. I suck at changing my routines so the change-over period might be painful but I’m thinking of carrying around two phones during it to reduce the effects, though I don’t know if that is good or bad for quicker transitioning.








  • Remember the old days, when your aunt would send you an invite to a facebook game that would predict which celebrity you’re most like based on unrelated and harmless pieces of data, like: (1) Your favorite color, (2) Your first pet’s name, (3) The school you went to, (4) Your mother’s maiden name (5) Last four digits of your social security number (6) Birthdate

    This sounds similarly comical if it was intended for data collection.

    EDIT: I’ve reconsidered. Knowing color preferences is very useful for an advertisement company.
