This shitpost is about openness, not data collection. But if you don't want Google to use your data then I can just run a custom ROM and call it a day. Again, openness.

Yo Derek do you remember AOSP and pie navigation.
It's amazing to see all the features of custom roms from 10+ years ago actually be in newer default versions of android.
For someone starting out would you recommend calyxos or graphene? And place for learning material?
I've mostly used graphene. Haven't used calyos in a while. Lete see if I can dig up some decent resources for you.
Do you have any expessing with Android phones/rooting?
I have never used CalyxOS and it's been a few years since I've used GrapheneOS. Graphene is more granular though. I'd go that route.
Sorry forgot to come back to this.
This just reminded me.
