None of my wory app nor my banks app are compatible with Graphene. We need legislation at this point.
Comment on How to turn off Gemini on Android — and why you should
Ulrich@feddit.org 3 weeks agoAlternatively:
- Install GrapheneOS
- Never concern yourself with invasive software again
I’ve never even seen Gemini on my phone.

Lmao
squaresinger@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yeah. If you never install software that is.
A C64 doesn’t run invasive software either.
Ulrich@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
Yes. A GrapheneOS device and a Commodore 64 are basically the same thing.
squaresinger@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.

Do I:
- Run a few commands to disable one app and keep my phone intact
OR
- Install a whole new OS to avoid one dumb AI app, and the OS only works with Pixel phones (which isn’t even my phone as I actively avoid touching anything Google in the first place)…
A tricky decision, indeed.

If it were about one app, and you could do that, I would be inclined to agree. But it’s not and you can’t. It’s about new bullshit constantly being shoved down your throat.

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?
Redex68@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
The circlejerk around Graphene is insane, it wouldn’t be as bad if it wasn’t literally only supported by Pixel phones that have 2% marketshare

isnt it only for pixels.
XLE@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
To be fair, the article itself recommends it.
kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Fair enough. Unfortunately, that only covers around 5% of Android users in the US.
Ulrich@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
Pretty much. For all the same reasons. Both of them solve all sorts of problems.
