Your firewall will cripple you and wont help. Try https://trackercontrol.org/ for more in-depth understanding of what is tracking you and how.

Everyone needs a phone. Not everyone wants to be spied on. Reclaim your privacy and continue to enjoy a functioning phone with CalyxOS.

Agreed. Before you make the switch.... check out what all apps you'd be loosing: https://plexus.techlore.tech/ There you can make the decision to go Calyxos or Graphene ... and you'll see what you'll be getting into, before you basically waste your time.

LineageOS still phones home to Google... you havnt removed Google.... just ignorantly assuming you did. If you want to remove the last bit of phone home that LineageOS does.... watch this video: (How to De-Google LineageOS) https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Doesn't Signal require you to use the same number to backup-and-restore.... so the second you decide to switch numbers.... sorry, no more signal.

LineageOS still connects to Google servers quite often. You're still riding the Google bandwagon.... just more ignorantly. If you want to officially remove 100% Google services .... look into CalyxOS

Google uses their own DNS and ignores yours. Unless you're redirecting any !Local_IPs to 53, they're getting around your PiHole quite easily.

QKSMS uses Google Firebase, you're back to square one.

Now if they could include an opt-out for the constant spying Roku does.... that would be great. My NVIDIA Shield just turned into a scrap of garbage in my dumpster for the same reasons.

Saying I hate X, and offering no alternatives? Generally this shows the author doesnt know the subject.

Just to let you know, Roku does more data harvesting than LG could even try. Shift that smugness to reality and put a Linux box on that TV.

Jack Ma had this exact thing happen to him in China, except --- they totally slapped it down and threw him in a re-education facility.

That's stupid. Fully Vaccinated Individuals Can Still Spread The Virus. Why would you let people who are almost guaranteed to not know if they're spreading the virus.... to go ahead and walk around brazen with this new authority.

LineageOS is a terrible project. It doesnt support systems. Release and then, broken for all time to come after. I was surprised myself, after having run it for a few months. Devs dont respond, fixes remain broken. Unless you buy the newest toys for devs to play with. You'll be broken in a few months. Be warned all you early adopters. This project is subject to hype.
