Huh… That’s news to me. When I was first looking into it, that OS was mentioned here and there. I ended up putting Graphene on my phone and left it at that, so I didn’t even bother keeping up with any of the other stuff.

That’s fair. I just had to get my pixel repaired and it’s been a headache because Google doesn’t make it easy.

Then buy second-hand. You aren’t giving Google any of your money, and you can focus on increasing your privacy.

Another way of deGoogling would be to, ironically, use a Pixel phone and side-load a privacy focused OS like Graphene or CalyxOS. With them, literally everything needs express permissions to be used, whether it’s your camera, location, microphone, etc. You can even sandbox the Play Store and other Google services so they can’t access your deeper files.

PFOA was banned, but PFOS and other very-slightly-different forever chemicals are not banned, therefore get around those regulations due to that technicality. Also, the current US administration is looking into removing a lot of those regulations.

If it walks, talks, and violates human rights like a duck, I’m calling it a fucking duck.

ICE is the modern day Gestapo.
Not sure if that’s a negative thing in their eyes though.
