Thread - Nostr Hypermedia

Great thread! @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 please answer? What mobile OS do you use? And what are your thoughts on Apple vs Google? I want to switch from #iOS to #Android for #Nostr purposes, but I wonder if Apple is the lesser evil in terms of privacy? At least I currently split my data between Apple and Google. I’m also exploring #grapheneOS although it seems “limited” (maybe that’s a good thing I dunno).

Graphene only works on the GOOGLE phones. The company which this post is about. I highly discourage supporting their products. Try

LineageOS – LineageOS Android Distribution

LineageOS Android Distribution

which you can install on many different android phones. I have it running on phones from 2013 with Android 13 latest, working faster than some new phones. Open source, transparent, pure android, no google.

Follow Rob Braxman on Youtube or Odysee and you'll find that building a privacy iPhone is impossible. Apple is no 'lesser evil'. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYVU6rModlGxvJbszCclGGw Personally, I'd opt for a phone that officially runs LineageOS and then install the MicroG variant for de-googling it. Then take it from there and only install privacy-friendly apps, e.g. open-source from the F-Droid store. Your path to more digtal freedom 💪🏼

I always thought it was weird that you had to buy a Pixel.

I haven’t used GrapheneOS so I’m ignorant. But I assume some apps are not available or don’t work as well.
