The line between helpful tech and quiet surveillance is blurring — and our devices no longer feel fully under our control.

Laughs in every computer I own is Linux and my mobile is GrapheneOS

    I switched to gOS and had to go back for NFC payments and auto.

    It is great to see though, those are just necessities for me. Having gone back, I can say I hate pixel launcher and can't even change keyboard

    I'm genuinely curious, what makes NFC a necessity? And what do you mean by auto?

    I might just be old, but I can do that with my debit and credit cards without involving my phone, so I couldn't care less.

    I don't carry a wallet, and card contactless is limited to like 50. Can't even do the weekly shop.

    Android Auto for driving is difficult to get working, I see gOS can do it but I couldn't get it to work.
