Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Right now, iPhone. Hardened with some advice taken from the book of Michael Bazzell.
Planing on moving towards Pixel with Graphene OS in the near future. I’m also using macOS and planing on moving towards Arch Linux. Used it for a long long time before when times where simpler and privacy was less difficult to achieve and I plan to go back.
Iphone 14 max pro and using nextdns.
Poco f1 with lineageos without google apps
Samsung Galaxy S10+, use LineageOS on it and have replaced the battery earlier this year after it finally started to last less than a day. Hoping to get another few years out of this phone before I lose support from Lineage.
Even then, there will be a community fork. Last year I got LOS for my old Galaxy S4 from xda.
Pixel 4a 5G with GrapheneOS. Though it's finally starting to hold less and less of a charge, so I may "upgrade" to a newer yesteryear Pixel model.
OnePlus 8T, running Lineage with MicroG.
Probably not as privacy focused as some, but TrackerControl keeps some of it in check.
Poco F3, for now, with stock ROM but uninstalled all useless and google stuff
A land line that I avoid using unless absolutely necessary. There is no such thing as a private cellular device.
Either are landlines. They can be wiretapped as well.
I'm using a Librem 5 as my daily driver
What carrier? Do voice calls work?
I am in the USA using T-Mobile. Yes, voice calls work. Depending on when the device was shipped, it may require a modem firmware update. After that its a simple install of bm818-tools package, enable VOLTE and then reboot.
Lineage on Moto G7 Plus for years now. Degoogled for years as well. De-degoogled just recently for ... reasons. And sigh it just feels ... wrong.
Nothing is perfect. Even GrapheneOS has been accused of "sharing telemetry" by individuals (no source on that, just read random comments on different forums so you can probably ignore it).
Even without rooting your phone there are ways to degoogle a bit. I have a Crosscall phone (French brand) that is essentially vanilla Android with 4 OEM apps. I used adb to debloat it.
I recommend doing this especially if you don't have a Google account or don't want to use the Google stuff. Saves on battery. Then thow on some of the standard replacement apps (qksms, OSM, whatever).
There is a slew of DNS/host blocking apps/filters (think netguard, blockada) or monitoring apps like Trackercontrol that help as well if you can't root or put Lineage, eOS, GrapheneOS, Divest, iode, Copperhead, etc. on your phone.
Nothing is perfect.
At first I thought you are talking about the Nothing phone, then I reread the sentence… (I’d also doubt that the Nothing phone is particularly privacy-friendly.)
CopperheadOS haven't heard that name in ages! Just so you know copperheadOS was renamed to GrapheneOS
iPhone 14 Pro Max
Late to the party, but I use Fairphone 3 with DivestOS.
