I have never seen this pop up with UBO

As long as its a legit number that uses a popular carrier that supports modern protocols they should come through. I’d test it out yourself if you have any concerns.

Use Carrion from F-Droid and make it your screening app. Numbers that call you have to go through a verification that is mandated in the US & Canada. Numbers that fail this handshake verification will be rejected.

Last I checked the Flatpak is an old version of Proton VPN. Look up how to get the beta release for your distro to get the latest features.

Most defining characteristic of race is different skin tones. Literally what racism is about. You don’t see people referring to races as their historical decent.

How are you supposed to know someones skin color from an IP? The word you’re looking for is xenophobic.

I totally get that. I’d probably be the same way if my car was new enough to support android auto.

I plugged in my S21+ to my Google Pixel 7 and went to the browser installer on the S21+, took maybe 5 minutes to install. Graphene OS is dead simple unlike other roms. That’s why so many people use and recommend it.

Why not have more storage on your phone for photos or music and then have that backup to a server? I encourage you to try to recover data from your broken phone. Much easier to read data from a unencrypted HDD then take a phone apart and try to read the bytes off it. You just keep all sensitive data on your phone’s internal storage.

With Pixels you can install different ROMs or root your device to remove anything you want. Samsung doesn’t give you that choice. Also, Samsung software has gotten so buggy over the years to the point I don’t even use my Samsung anymore. Graphene OS is so light weight and stable compared to my S21+ with disabled bloatware and heavy battery optimization. Not to mention how hot Samsung phones get when using the camera.

Apps that you can not uninstall natively will not be uninstalled but “disabled” at boot. You can only remove bloatware if you have root access.

Hopefully the developer keeps respecting user privacy in the future.

I mean hypothetically the tracking is gone

I never had to use my phone number, just used an alias email that points to my real email.

Just make a random burner account. I get the adversity to Facebook but the marketplace is very good. If you want a cheap and good condition phone you’ll want to look around on it.

Grabbed mine on Facebook Marketplace for cheap. Just meet somewhere public and use cash.

It depends on the license. If we are able to fork it in the long run we can just take all the good and remove all the bad.
