Yeah. If you never install software that is.
A C64 doesn't run invasive software either.
Yes. A GrapheneOS device and a Commodore 64 are basically the same thing.

Just dropping some links here:

nobody has to use an operating system made by an advertisement company.
Except for people with locked boot loaders. They really are trapped in some corporate hellscape. That stuff should just be illegal.

My device's bootloader can be unlocked in 5 minutes, yet it's not on any of these lists you shared

GrapheneOS without any invasive apps is really bare-bones and limited, that's what I wanted to say using hyperbole, but I guess figures of speech are too advanced for some people.

Alternatively:
- Install GrapheneOS
- Never concern yourself with invasive software again
I've never even seen Gemini on my phone.
So are we just casually mentioning Graphene in every Android article like Linux is mentioned in every Windows article? How many new phones actually support Graphene?

None of my work apps nor my banks app are compatible with Graphene. We need legislation at this point.

Pretty much. For all the same reasons. Both of them solve all sorts of problems.

I'm aware, thank you.

it’s becoming harder to fully turn off or remove.
They're going to phase out assistant almost completely, migrating features to gemini.
Realistically the privacy of assistant was not better, but gemini uses a fully functional LLM and not a huge if-else-switch statement for standard commands.I think they have the upper hand over AI companies as they own the internet and youtube for training purposes.
But gemini wants to be my friend if I don't stop it, and it's creepy and weird.

Ah yes, for the whole 5% of people that have a Pixel

The circlejerk around Graphene is insane, it wouldn't be as bad if it wasn't literally only supported by Pixel phones that have 2% marketshare

Do I:
- Run a few commands to disable one app and keep my phone intact
OR
- Install a whole new OS to avoid one dumb AI app, and the OS only works with Pixel phones (which isn't even my phone as I actively avoid touching anything Google in the first place)...
A tricky decision, indeed.

If it were about one app, and you could do that, I would be inclined to agree. But it's not and you can't. It's about new bullshit constantly being shoved down your throat.

Google Play’s latest security change may break many Android apps for some power users. The Play Integrity API uses hardware-backed signals that are trickier for rooted devices and custom ROMs to pass.
