Talk me down: Teams could be a tool of mass data gathering
On a related note, within the past year microshit made it so you can't join a teams meeting on their android app unless you give it permission to see your phone number

The state of whether it's an ad has to be somewhere clientside as the ads can't be skipped by the user.

Search engines and privacy
Startpage recently started collecting browser/OS telemetry using JavaScript so if you want to use it you should disable JavaScript on their site
I would use kagi, but only if they supported monero payments.

Are you excited about the upcoming Pixel 9, or have you given up on Google hardware?

Wallet no. For banking apps it depends on the app. For me about 80 percent work

Help me to not revert back to iPhone after GrapheneOS Issues
I use grapheneos. My yubikey 5c works fine for me. I can use it via NFC and when plugged in directly. Have you tried looking at the GOS forums for support?
With your banking apps try enabling the compatibility support mode in app settings. GOS adds additional security to apps which break some of the things bank apps use
Double tapping the bottom of the screen to shift everything down so you can reach the top of the screen with your finger when using one hand.
That's built into android including GOS but its not enabled by default. The gesture is a swipe down as opposed to a double tap.
Holding down on the space bar to move the text cursor between characters. Maybe these exist on gos though?
That's present on multiple keyboard options including heliboard, gboard and others.

And? so what? It doesn't matter if GIMP has a plugin system. The UI is so shit you have to google everything to figure out how to use it and even then it's still complicated.

Agreed. From what I can tell the swiping is inaccurate as you have to touch each letter perfectly for it to register where as on gboard being near to or adjacent to a letter is sufficient for it to guess the correct word

NFS is shit anyway. It has no proper security unless you want to set up something like Kerberos (a major PITA)

The problematic dev never stepped down they still pull the same crazy shenanigans like banning anyone he disagrees with.

That's already released and only deals with recent changes. It doesn't fix apps using strong integrity challenges

Switching from iOS to GrapheneOS, thoughts after 2 weeks
Re: whatsapp, I'm pretty sure the android and iphone app use the same backup format. You can manually extract them by doing an unencrypted iPhone backup to your PC and extract the data from that. When I tested an iPhone a few years ago, I was able to move my whatsapp data after the initial setup with that. I'm pretty sure there are commercial tools that do the same thing too.
