Hey All,
First… Many Thanks to Jeff and CMZ for the life changing nudge into new frontiers!… I have never been tech focused… just enough to do what I needed to do and what I picked up along the way… I am now unexpectedly enjoying the challenges of new tech as I have added Linux to my life and am in the final stages of De-Apple’ng and De-Googl’ng!
@GrapheneGoat ‘s inspiring post on GrapheneOS De-Googled Phones Explained, pushed me forward to jump into that pool as well… I thought his idea that it didn’t have to be an all at once changeover was sound and am pleasantly surprised to find myself comfortable switching a temporary SIM card out for my IPhones card and making the switchover complete at 4 days in…I have used IPhones for the last 10+ years so both Android and GrapheneOS were uncharted territory… I found an excellent video on YouTube ( now viewed on New Pipe ) by Android Privacy Lab on how to Sandbox Google and it was a perfect compliment to the instructions on the GrapheneOS site…
Anyway… if any of you find yourself wondering if you should jump in the pool, all I can say is …do it! … The water is fine!…If I can do this, so can you!
Onward We Go Brave Patriots!
