 Damnnn this thing is sleek 🔥

Funny yours was the first note in my feed upon opening Amethyst, Ava -- I signed on to ask you about the sandboxed Google Play Services on GrapheneOS (as i believe it was yesterday i read some well-thought-out comments of yours about Obtanium and F-Droid, and i trust your judgment). 

Anyway, google play, Yay/nay/may(be)? 

Any major privacy risks?

Many thanks in advance 🙏 
 Awesome! Thank you :) My threat model allows for using GPS (Google Play Services). I try to avoid getting apps from Google Play whenever possible, but I have some apps I pay for that are not open source, not available anywhere else, and I want them connected to my GP account.

You can set up an anonymous Google account if necessary, or choose to not use it at all. Graphene has some cool things like the ability to deny network access (for keeping Gboard from calling home for example), storage scopes, sandboxing etc, etc., so personally I'm okay with it. However, it is threat model dependent. 
 TIL that leatherman’s could be “modded”! 
 Indeed. I went minimal with my customization. I just wanted my name. They have more options. Check it out

 Forgot to show the saw!

 I saw it! 
 Good one ;) 
 That’s a nice leatherman 
 Thanks! It's one hand open too, like a balisong. I like it! 
 I might have a leatherman hidden somewhere, I’m not sure. But I’m surprised my gerber lasted so long https://image.nostr.build/a4f09b516e72d01b12f0e6d9a16747e8e3a6ac9f50f8a0434546926094324e97.jpg  
 Nice. Gerber is no Leatherman, but I have one too. They definitely get the job done. Bear Grylls did all of his sponsorship through Gerber. They're legit. 
 That thing is sweet 👌 
 Thx! I'm pretty stoked about it :) 
 It’s super rad. Let me know how you like it! I’m interested in getting one myself 👊🫂 
 Will probably do an update post in a few months, but I'm on the free Leatherman insider mailing list, so the warranty jumped from 25 years to 40. That's impressive. Big fan of Leatherman and I've been testing it out since I got it and so far, it's awesome. 
 Okay epic. Appreciate the quick response and legit feedback btw 👌 
 Just what I needed a multi tool rabbit hole 
 Ahhhhh nice. After you order yours the other day I got a case of envy!! I ended up going for a SOG however. It has all I need (at least as I think) and was a lot more reasonable in price for where I am. Yours looks sweet. Enjoy it.
