GrapheneOS is good if you've got to carry one. The point is never to forget that if you're carrying a phone, you're still being tracked, even if you're limiting the damage from app-based threats. It is baked into the design oftheinfrastructure: if you can see the network, the network can see you. And it takes notes.
Good advice, thank you. We need a viable alternative to traditional phone carriers and towers, most people need to stay connected for work or with family these days, unfortunate that it comes at such a cost.
Just a curious question if you don't mind, what do you think about starlink technology? Do you think it will be better than traditional phone carriers in terms of privacy and features? Do you think it is a viable alternative?
Meshtastic and LoRa is the way.
What about Pinephone Pro with the modem disabled by the hardware toggle or Librem 5 with the modem removed or disabled via the switch?
The hardware is not secure, nor is software.
Just flash GOS or Divestos and put limiting amount of information. Better security can lead to better privacy.
Nothing is ironclad but GOS dose the most reasonable moves.

Even when I leave my phone somewhere and go for a quiet stroll, I pass an uncountable number of cameras. It's packed with them here. There's no peace from the networks except out gently bobbing on the water ⛵🌊

Is that tracking called pinging? In a way that devices communicate between each other so even if I have my phone completely anonymous it will communicate with other devices in the the room and therefore track my location, something like that?

I see I'm not the only one with a malfunctioning spacebar.

How about unplugged phones Ed? Care to share your thoughts?
This is what Zuri would use. #CODEDSHADOWS www.codedshadows.com

What about phone in flight mode? Can we trust that in your opinion?
I like the punkt phone first gen. Wish it was still compatible and available to get so I can use a simple tech phone again. I miss simple tech in sometime cases. Wish there were more options like that.
