I guess there is no need to introduce what a Degoogled phone is (or a custom ROM without google services, like GrapheneOS is) and the Aurora Store is basically said in a crude way the Google Playstore but without the need to log in to your Google account, quite useful in my opinion....
Aurora yes, although unlikely, GrapheneOS no, because you’re logging into the actual play store, not a 3rd party ripoff. Either way, whatever Google acct you’re using for that shouldn’t matter because it’s not a “real” one, so being banned shouldn’t be a concern regardless of how likely/unlikely it is.
More often than not, the best way to hide is to simply blend in with the crowds – this also encompasses one’s choice for a username. It is relatively simple to make a single throwaway account – just come up with a username, and off you go – however, if one makes throwaway accounts often, the task of thinking of a unique,...
Don’t complicate simple, there’s millions of people making random shit usernames, the only ones that are going to wind up with a pattern are the people (trying) not too. Smack a bunch of buttons on your keyboard and call it a username. Done!
Or if you want to make more work, every password manager at this point will generate random usernames.
Android natively sandboxes, so that’s already done. When you’re already running Graphene there’s no reason to further move them to other users, or profiles.
The obvious issue is you’re still pushing data to data miners regardless, whether it’s in your name or not, it’s just as valuable to them.
It’s a well-known fact that Google spies on users, which isn’t anything new. However, the fact that they are now using this as a reference in a marketing meme is insulting....
Are you assuming that Google, which, as far as I’m aware, is an international company providing service to a multilingual userbase, has less than 1% non-native English speaking users?
I’m assuming nothing, nor did I ever say their English speaking data sources are less than 1%. That would be the privacy crowd that would be the ones to take simple marketing using a well known term and go into paranoia about it.
However, if I were to assume anything, it would be that an ad in English, would be geard towards English speakers, not others.
I highly doubt they’re worried about less than the 1% not seeing the obvious meaning of what they said. They’re marketing to the masses, which would very much know and pick up on the “I spy” thing.
Sorry, I disagree, I don’t make the assumption that they’re considering a statistically insignificant group of people that hate them, or possibly countless other countries when using a well know saying in their marketing.
You say that, but that’s because you’ve never had the ability. Wait until Apple kills an app you like and pulls it, and you have the ability to have it anyways.
Do you know how many awesome apps there are that aren’t allowed in the store because Apple are serious gatekeepers?
3rd party apps used to be one of the biggest reasons people used to jailbreak their phones. iPhones are WAY too locked down.
Funny all the excuses made by the sheep on how great the EU govt is for all their internet greatness when theyve proven at every front their even worse than the US. Which is an accomplishment.
Waiting for months on end for a doctor you don’t get to choose after paying 4x in taxes for them, ya! Works awesome. Ever live in Canada? I have. No thanks!
Am I running the risk of getting my Google account banned for logging into the Aurora Store or a custom rom like GrapheneOS?

What should be used for anonymous usernames?
