Excuse my ignorance, but why not use your own G account?

Thank you for sharing this. Honestly, right now, I simply don't feel a need to use profiles for my apps. I understand some people claim I probably should considering I use both FOSS and Google apps, but I'm just getting started with this whole privacy thing and I don't feel like rushing. Using only one profile probably isn't the absolute worst thing you could do, eh?

the privacy benefits of Graphene OS are ESPECIALLY impactful if you're using invasive apps. The whole point of setting up all of the extra sandboxing, storage limits, network restrictions, yadda yadda yadda, is specifically for people who might need or want to still leverage some apps from bigger, less trusted providers.

Honestly, this resonated with me very well. This excerpt alone motivates me to keep using and committing to GOS because it just makes sense. Now, I don't know the technical aspects of these kinds of things, but I imagine using Facebook Messenger on GOS is preferable to using it on a regular iPhone. Perhaps. Meh, whatever, I like the feel of GOS and its community, so I suppose it doesn't matter that much.

I have heard Aurora is more insecure and you can risk getting your Google account blacklisted or banned using it. Do you have any experience with this or know how common it is?

Do you know if it's safe to download banking apps from third party stores (in this case Aurora)?

I’m more curious about the privacy aspect of using Aurora over Play, especially considering since I will be logged into my G account.

What is the main difference between using Play Store and Aurora store (logged in with your Google account)?

It's actually nothing but beginner paranoia. Will it work properly even on a custom ROM, is the main question spinning in my head.

Interesting. I'll check this out later.

Yes. The reason I don't use Aurora is because I've heard it's instable sometimes and uses many anonymous Google accounts in order to install apps. I feel safer using my own burner account for that.

Thanks for the heads-up!

You don't think Trump's political views are more depressing?

I think the first movie that I watched with him in it was Sandy Wexler… if that’s the name. I loved Richard Kiel’s performance in HG though.

History

The history of pillaging and raping Serbians for 500 years? Or the part where Turkey’s land mass only covers about 3% of European territory?

Psychological thrillers, especially those from the late twentieth century. Think Suspiria and Possession.

My dad. :( It's sad to watch knowing you can't do anything.

Unfortunately I must use these apps for financial and social reasons. Still, I want to hide my data as much as possible.

I just feel weird about these things I don't recognise because I fear they hoard my data or expose my phone to dangers. Should I grant Google Framework Services all location preferences then...?

Thank you, I’ll do that!
