I just bought a new smartphone. It's a bit of fidgeting away from obsoleting our IPhones and Samsungs. For 120 euros, and some tech skills you get a lot of value.

i run a degooged os with sandboxing for any play service dependencys on a librephone. 100/10 would recommend for people who want an adless secure forward phone.

Heck ye! I'm planning a step further: I won't be installing any google services. Turns out nothing I use depends on them

Fdroid is a pretty good source of apps that don't use any Play Services APIs.

Yuz, I've got it! I like it better than google's thing, it doesn't spam me with random crap

I aswell can rep for F-droid. the only thing i use google play for rn is my android auto(wip) and doordash (shopping for my grandma)

Also gotta reccomend GraphineOS for phone, I really like how it handles sandboxing and compartmentaliztion.

Sandboxing is cool, but I think isolation should be the default, not the exception. I'm planning to put all (non system critical) apps in userspace and make the default permissions limited
