Despite new hurdles from Google, the team’s update includes the TapTrap vulnerability fix and under-the-hood improvements. No flashy features, all about security! #GrapheneOS #Android16 #Pixel #privacy #security

Perhaps another reason to de-Google. I'm working on the transition and it feels right. GrapheneOS is my next step. Google, and much of the Internet, has become far too invasive.
I switched my PCs to Linux years ago. That was a good move for me. It's been a refreshing change.
AI is everywhere now and getting more powerful every day. I'm just trying to claw back some degree of control over my personal data, though I realize it's too little, too late and perhaps fruitless.
De-Googling feels good at least, just like de-Windowing did!
I'd like to hear what steps are others taking...

New phone, not because I didn't like my previous one but because I have the Pixel 6a version with the very bad battery issues. I would have continued to use it for another couple of years but I don't like the idea of my phone catching fire. Got the cheapest possible one which could take the voucher Google gave as a "sorry".
Now, the fun task of going through all the apps and files to make sure everything was transferred and works.
It’s healthy of me to be walking a distance in the morning but…
Die katalanische Polizei verdächtigt jetzt alle Nutzer von Google Pixel-Smartphones, da diese Geräte bevorzugt mit dem datenschutzorientierten GrapheneOS genutzt werden – angeblich von Drogenhändlern. Ein Smartphone kann so zum Kriminalitätsverdacht werden!

Dank an GoodGame für den Hinweis 
@web
> Da die katalanische Polizei aber laut eigenen Angaben ohnehin jeden Pixel-User für einen Dealer hält, ist es wahrscheinlich günstiger, selbst gleich GrapheneOS zu installieren. Auch wenn man mit dem organisierten Verbrechen nichts zu tun hat.
Exakt das.

What's next? Wer sein Zuhause absperrt, hat nur etwas Gestohlenes zu verbergen? 
Wer #Privatsphäre und/oder #Sicherheit möchte, braucht offenbar ein #Pixel mit GrapheneOS.
