Yeah, but this is about self hosting and it’s costs, so the comparison is relevant.

How are the Chinese data hoarders providing government your information to the government any worse than the US ones doing the same? VPNs are only a small part of the full arsenal needed for obfuscating your identity, and the nationality of any of them is irrelevant, as pretty much all governments are gathering data from them.
I don’t trust Chinese VPNs, and I don’t trust American VPNs, or Russian, or Israeli. I feel somewhat safer with Mullvad or Proton VPNs, and even then, they are worthless if you’re relying only on VPNs.
FlameShot. In my opinion, the best and most versatile screen capture app for Linux distros, especially if you use Gnome as your DE.
If you’re referring to the com.android.adservices.api module, in the GrapheneOS discussion forums they clarify this: “This is an open source component of the Android Open Source Project providing an implementation of alternatives to tracking users for targeted advertising. It isn’t enabled by default, doesn’t use any Google services and is not a privacy issue in any way.”
They also mention that: “GrapheneOS isn’t going to enable these features since we don’t have any reason to enable targeted advertising.”
We all would love to be able to reset this, but we can’t, plus it appears to be irrelevant to our privacy as long as we don’t install Google Play Store and Google Play Services (which I have chosen to NOT install).
We can’t reset of disable it because, and I quote: “However, the systems it provides are much better than the approaches preceding them based on identifiers. Google Play provides an optional advertising ID which can be regenerated or disabled but most other SDKs don’t provide similar controls.”, so it seems that, because I don’t have the optional advertising ID that Google Play provides, I can’t, nor do I need to, reset or delete the ID.
This is the link to that discussion: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/2156-why-theres-a-package-named-android-adservices-installed-out-of-the-box/10
Glad this is happening. These are the same news outlets that provide Google with your information and pay Google for ads.
They can all bust for all I care.
I get it, but GrapheneOS is meant to “disallow” those things precisely because they invade our privacy.
Genuinely curious here, I but what restrictions?
This is going ro leave a shit-ton of people dead in the water.
I remember when they were the “go-to” MB manufacturers. Why is every good thing from yesteryear getting eshitified so fast? It’s a sad world we’re living in.
I’d recommend staying away from anything Asus due to their extreme enshittification.
Absolutely. And they update pretty quickly when YouTube breaks something.
