I have the duress pin/password set, the pin is written on a post-it in the case.
I should clarify, the cop can give the phone a once over but not connect to a machine or clone the phone. Cloning is a bit more involved - legally speaking.
I used to use a thumb drive.
Localsend is an option. Side of Burritos did a video about this recently.
I have Proton Drive so I may give that a try.
I best I could do on my tablet was to put those notifications on “silent”. They in my notification bar but the popup is gone.
Go yell at a cloud, grandpa Simpson
Well, Abe Simpson, maybe try https://discuss.grapheneos.org. I guarantee there are more people there discussing GOS then here.
Try Mull. It gets updated on a regular bases.
I don’t know about Calyx or Iode but Lineage doesn’t allow for a locked bootloader. This is a massive security hole and without security, sooner or later, your privacy will be violated.
Currently, GrapheneOS on a newer Pixel are the only phones that Celebrite can’t breach. Celebrite machines are cheap enough that the border guards and your local cops probably have one. In my country, it’s the law that a cop is allowed to examine a phone during a traffic stop.
Installing GrapheneOS removes all the Google crap.
Not always, unfortunately.
Authy 2fa doesn’t work on GOS because of Play Integrity. GOS has been talking with regulators in the EU about this.
An Amazon delivery locker doesn’t open without Sandboxed Google Play installed, I’ve switched to post office deliveries. I had to change my account user name to my actual name ( my name is extremely common so no big deal really) but at least I don’t have Amazon’s shit app installed anymore.
Google Pay doesn’t work.
Android Auto is hit and miss.
There tech support is also fantastic. I had an issue yesterday morning, it was fixed by the afternoon.
I use VoIP MS and have two way texting. They are very much KYC, extremely inexpensive, and the service works very well. There is an unofficial app called “voipms sms” on F-Droid that I found buggy but it seems to work for a lot of people. I use Sipnetic for voice calls and sms. So many options for routing calls, dealing with spammers.
If you are looking for more of a private service JMPchat, they do cost quite a bit more but have no interest in your personal information, they just want money.
Filtering USA politics is why I use Thunder instead of Jerboa.
It hides posts based on the keyword.
The spammers, afaik, are using voip numbers. Regardless or where the spammer lives they can get a number for any area code.
Thunder has far more options such as a keyword filter.
I’m using Thunder. I never did like Jerboa.
I use Droid-ify which auto updates the repos. I do follow their blog via rss. https://f-droid.org/feed.xml
What do these apps do? The name doesn’t sound familiar to me.
