[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol -2 points 2 years ago (1 child) De-googling is not enough, there must be nothing to de-Google from the start. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AndrewZabar@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) That’s one approach but far more limited than just using a Google-free Android build like Lineage. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I know, that's why I advocate for going Google free from the outset. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AndrewZabar@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Well, it may be ideal, but that is not the same as absolutely necessary. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Different threat models have different necessities. I believe a regular user should avoid Google ( or rather all of GAFAMBATX) connections at all costs. I think everybody (me included, of course) is better off with a dumbphone than a Degoogled phone. It's obvious we have different opinions, I respect your right to run any system as you want. I don't think I have any more to contribute to this topic. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AndrewZabar@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Yeah I’m not really disagreeing with you it’s just I don’t run anything that’s as privacy-necessary as you. My actual phone is iPhone and all the Android stuff I experiment with are lab systems for tinkering, rom mod testing etc. If I had anything that was being used for any really private or sensitive data, hell yes I would use something completely detached from anything google. permalink fedilink source parent
