I don’t even know my online banking password.

Password managers ftw

Fun fact: until not too long ago there was a language filter built right into Lemmy’s source code.

Sandboxed Google play service is actually more secure than MicroG.

it also has a Google Services compatibility that would allow you to use Google services, which would allow Google to harvest a lot of data from you

So does MicroG. Actually that’s kind of the point of both. Google play services exist to provide, well, Google play services like push notification which uses the Google servers. That’s the case with Sandboxed Google play and GrapheneOS.

OSes like CalyxOS or Lineage have microG

Yes. Pre-installed. That’s kind of a problem if you don’t want to use them in a specific profile. Also it’s quite a security issue since it needs signature spoofing to work which is insecure by definition.

has the ability to use Mozilla network location to stop google from getting that data

That alone doesn’t stop Google from getting your location data. Only not giving the your location data does this. On GrapheneOS you do this by… not enabling the location permission for any Google services including the play services.

Also by default GrapheneOS already uses GrapheneOS servers for location data and you can set your own proxy in the location settings

That’s basically everything about it. Yes, battery life is an issue on GrapheneOS with sandboxed Google play service, but well, at least it just has the permissions of a normal app. Not a privileged system app that pretends to be another app to work.

Ironically, such a site would more bugs then of it would use Javascript. And security issues are still an issue too.

Basically everything has to be handled through forms and a site reload and hidden components and lots of css :hover events. Have you ever tried making a dropout without Javascript? It isn’t impossible, but really hard.

And such sites exist. Just that they’re mostly Darknet sites like like Dread or Bohemia

GOOGLE

reliable

lol

It’s actually second now.

Linux now has more steam users than MacOS

Nope. It’s just a convince thing. They aren’t aware what can be done with their data and when they are aware they think “there are millions of people using it so why should MY data be that interesting”

If people are given a choice, they almost always will decline if it’s as convenient as accepting.
