Much of your data can just be subpoenaed and then provided to law enforcement without physical access however. Apple complies 90% of the time.

Also, there are ways that LE can bypass your iphone's encryption. Just doesn't work all the time.

GrapheneOS, based on AOSP, is really the only truly private and secure option. Android offering interoperability is not a downside and Apple having a walled garden does not mean it provides increased security. Apple is decidedly not transparent and this is ultimately not a good thing.

Isn't the whole legacy of its creator pretty firmly embedded in the content itself? Like it's disturbing and without much substance.

I've been using GrapheneOS for about 5 years.

Google pay won't work, but everything else should. I've never experienced any of the issues the other commenter had, and I've installed Graphene on 4 devices (not dismissing you BTW, just saying I think your experience is quite uncommon).

I don't think third-party launchers are a good idea (you're giving full device permission to an unneeded app) but it should work.

Almost every app I wanted to use worked with Graphene before they introduced their sandboxed google services, and now everything I've tested works with Google push notifications. The only exception is Google pay, and there are upstream reasons for that. Keep in mind, on a very rare occasion the hardened memory allocator breaks compatibility (again this is very rare), but there is an app-specific setting toggle to turn this off so it's kind of a non-issue.

So most eggs are unfertilized embryos, which in mammals is what happens during menstruation. That said, it's not even a stretch at this point to think that conservatives might start saying that menstruation is immoral or whatever for this same reason.

This is insanely moralistic and just a bad idea, but also... of all the things going on, how can this possibly be a priority?

Nevermind the infringement on human rights and the conservatives' historical tendency to cater to corporate interests. Affordable housing wasn't a priority under Harper either.

I don't understand the format of this. Why put a dictator/murderer/war criminal and shitty capitalist/conservative talking head having this detailed and interesting conversation. These two in no way deserve any of the positive association this meme implies.

Yum fumes.

Also these have to be taking place right before demos, right?

If you're using a stock android device, the OS on your phone still has permissions to read and write to storage, by necessity. If what you're concerned about is privacy, you have very limited ability to set storage scopes if you don't trust the OS, and this doesn't really change if you install an app.

If you're using fossify file manager or any other file manager, you've given that app+the default Files app access to your storage. This is not more private. Most of those similar apps are essentially just skins on top of the default manager (which I suppose could be useful). This only really adds attack surface and doesn't have any meaningful privacy benefits, and potentially some detractors depending on the app you use.

If you don't trust the operating system and its utilities, the best option is to find an operating system you trust, and not to just install new skins on top of existing apps.
