@Edent @NearerAndFarther I've also been using #Lawnchair over the years on #Pixel 5a, 7, and 9 Pro.

It is #FOSS and I'm very pleased with the customization it allows, specifically to be as minimalist as possible. It has lots of settings, which I love, because I can turn things off and get it down to exactly the bare bones #Android I want and no more, no less.

(It's Google's fault I use Lawnchair because they don't let you turn off their search widget on Pixel's stock launcher.)

@mjg59 This only holds true if you blindly trust #Apple & the security level of their software.

Their policies may change any time as we've seen in many cases of big corps already.

Their ability to provide secure software is mostly a myth from old times. They pushed extremely embarrassing security bugs multiple times which not only means that their testing processes are insufficient.

https://karl-voit.at/cloud/ has a few of their failures with respect to #privacy & #security.

Having absolute trust in a shareholders obliged company, you may face massive backfire some day.

If you are *really* looking for maximum level of protection, there's nothing better as a #Pixel 8 or higher (also from 2nd hand market) with #GrapheneOS flashed (it's very easy via web browser + USB cable and a 2nd #Android device) and a self-chosen level of #Google integration.

You may go without any Google service at all or you can opt in for a sandboxed version of them.

Tech savvy fedi folks! I am looking for a solution to segregate work and private apps on a Pixel Android phone. The aim is to control when I receive work notifications or Teams calls from specific apps. There seems to be an option for an Android Work Profile, but that requires my IT department to set it up? Are there any solutions you have implemented that work for you? #android #pixel

Seufz, ich habe mich wirklich angestrengt, aber nach 10 Jahren versagt der Akku des iPhone 7 Plus jetzt das dritte Mal. Zeit für ein neues Telefon.

Ich hätte jetzt gerne etwas ähnlich Sicheres/Updatebares wie das #Pixel mit #GrapheneOS. Aber gleichzeitig mit einem einfach wechselbaren Akku.

Habt ihr Vorschläge? FairPhone mit /e/OS überzeugt mich softwareseitig nicht.

#Pixel #GrapheneOS
Puh... sobald wechselbare Akkus in der EU Pflicht werden, sollte Graphene die beste Option sein. Vielleicht in den sauren Apfel beißen und sich schon mal mit einem Pixel umsteigen?

@strypey I am affected by it. #telenor #sweden is closing the 3g my phone cannot make phone calls. I called their support, they don't even have a public list of phones that are compatible they just tell you "buy a new phone at least post 2022, and even then avoid #Xiaomi, #nokia, #motorola, #pixel, #oneplus (and a tones of other brands the guy started to list me), prefer #iphone, #samsung"

❔ Vraagjes aan IT-nerds in de Lage Landen. Als ik #GrapheneOS wil gebruiken, dan heb ik een $%%&!3 #Pixel nodig. Die kan je refurbished kopen zie ik. Als ik zo naar de prijs kijk past een Pixel 7 of liefst 8 wel binnen mijn budget.

Vragen:

1. Wat is de beste plek/site voor zo'n refurbished Pixel?
2. Heb ik iets over het hoofd gezien en zijn die Pixels ook ergens anders te krijgen?

@jasonkoebler Piling on with everyone's regular reminder that there are de-Googled #Android alternatives for your phone to break out of the panopticon if you can give up the convenience of historically unethical companies like Uber and use apps from #FDroid that won't surveil you.

@GrapheneOS for example you can just plug your #Pixel into their website and transition easily. Not sure what's good recently for Samsung users. #Apple people, you're on your own. #Resist

Happy that Google is improving Gemini's synthetic voice, but I wish they'd fix Android's speech-to-text conversion so it doesn't insert all the incorrect grammar — thinking I'm done with a sentence when I'm not and indeed sometimes didn't even pause. https://blog.google/products/gemini/gemini-audio-model-updates/
