Sure, but that is true for a lot of drivers, modems and so on. Linux itself is full of binary payloads as well for most laptops and many motherboards out there. It's the best we can get situation.
It's definitely way better than running a regular Windows or Mac system with everything installed.
That's all I'm asking of people like you is to just be honest with people about what they're getting. I just want to make yall say it.
It's not a silver bullet and there are many gotchas. I also don't believe it's the BEST we have in terms of privacy, it's the highest convenience trade off. But I have no proof of that.
May we ask what you run?
Run what?
Mobile OS. I like the sound of Graphene OS but have the same concerns about only running on a Pixel. There’s only a few companies I would like to support less than Apple, and Google is one of them ;-)
That said, with recent shenanigans between Apple and the UK government and backdoors, it has peaked my interest again.
It's the best option for most people.
It's also the best option if you want to have a device that you use for Bitcoin that's completely detached from your identity.
Just never use it on your home network, keep it in a faraday bag, and have a second faraday bag for your daily driver smartphone so you don't use it in the same location.
Aweful bold of you to suggest it's the BEST for MOST people...
if I don't use it as a phone why does it matter what device I have... Just use a laptop and a landline?
Most people seeking privacy tech, yes it's the best option I've seen so far.
& Mobile devices are more easily faraday'ed & transported.
Using this setup with e.sim like silent link is definitely the best option I've seen for most people.
So tell us, which one is the BEST in terms of privacy? I'm getting a lot of Apple-fanboy vibes from you.
