Time for our sponsor for today’s episode, GrapheneOS. I don’t need tell you what it does because y’all on Lemmy anyways. Honestly it was the most simple setup, you plug your phone into the computer you don’t need to download the software installer locally, its all distributed on their website and it take 2 clicks of the mouse to get a privacy focused OS.
giving your browser, an environment which is meant to run untrusted code, direct control over your pcs hardware, especially to modify the firmware of your phone, sounds like asking for a lot of trouble.
It really is. Took me a year to finalls go ahead with it and about half an hour from trying to find the correctly gendered usb cables to figuring out my favourit background image. It was really just go to website -> install graphene.
