I removed/disabled mozilla location BS on my android. Don't need it don't want it. Gps chips work just fine without mozilla pretending they need to hold the gps chip's hands. I used dejavu location service and wifi location service as 'helpers'. They don't contact anyone in order to work with microg.
What I HAVE noticed is the mobian phosh updates are installing a "fused" blob which is EXACTLY what google is doing/screwing android with.
Until the cellular modem is isolated with it's very own switch, my guess is the devs are using the same games google is to "fuse" your modem/radios together.
There is absolutely no reason why one dipswitch should control ALL the radios. This flat out tells me privacy went out the window when the pinephone was created. I'm not sure who had to pay who what but this FUSED horse**** needs to take a flying leap along with google and co..
My rooted 1+ has a working vpn, no google anything, a proper FW, never calls home, isn't slow, fully functioning gps software, and has good battery life. I'm trying to figure out exactly what the benefit is of running another device that doesn't have those features but still uses a FUSED to **** OS, JUST LIKE GOOGLE. Seriously. Who do you think you're fooling? It aint gonna be me.
Mycroft can straightup gf itself.
I payed an extra $50 for the convergence package only to find out the dongle DOESN'T WORK without me having to desoder some crap on the board or some such nonsense.
I don't trust the pinephone. Why would you not use more modern hardware? What's so hard about installing a cellular modem SEPARATE from the other devices?
My contacts are secure on my 1+. In gnome's contacts on a pinephone? I doubt it. When I installed evolution it automatically got that info which tells me all I need to know about pinephones and their supposed security. A 4/6 digit numeric pin? That's not security that's a joke.
