Choose your phone!
Your options are:
- company that seeks rent on every transaction that happens through the phone
- company that tracks your location, habits and usage to build detailed profiles on you to inform advertising
- custom ROMs that can’t run your banking app
@stevenimpson GrapheneOS runs my banking apps fine. 😂
@josh @stevenimpson sure, but knowing it exists, installing it, and then maintaining it are all things well outside the skill of most users.
You're not wrong, it's just a niche option for edge case users.
@trib @josh @stevenimpson
Also, GrapheneOS works exclusively on devices produced by a company the whole business model of which is "tracking your location, habits and usage to build detailed profiles on you", so even if you are willing to invest time into not partaking in all that personally, you are still supporting it with your money.
@Hyolobrika
Wow, it even supports the Android phone I have!
Unfortunately only a 12.1-based ROM. Right now I have an AOSP 12.1-based ArrowOS on it, without PlaySevices and most Google stuff anyway. And as it also has Sailfish and Ubuntu Touch, I won't be able to use it with locked bootloader, not that I'm interested in that aspect of security anyway.
So for me it's probably not worth it, but looks interesting nonetheless!
