There are ways to successfully circumvent Google's tracking methods. It's all based on how much you care about being tracked and how much convenience you're willing to give up.

I would say it's likely related to ColorOS or Play Services (or both) tracking something behind the scenes and feeding it to your ad profile. You've done a lot to try to reduce your fingerprint but it sounds like it could be something harder to track down.

Have you considered switching to another version of Android that uses microG to reduce Play Service permissions or another phone with GrapheneOS? That may be the next option unfortunately.

Honestly, if it were published 10 years ago, I'd agree with you. But since it was published literally 2 days ago, it's at best tone deaf and a bit ignorant or at worst... well, you heard what others have said.

I like that theme but as i understand it, having a custom css theme may reduce your anonymity while browsing, if you're concerned about that.

He's been saying this sort of shit for years. I'm glad people are finally seeing him for who he is.

For real. It's almost like saying this includes biomass generation too since that uses sunlight through photosynthesis.

Sorry, I thought that was the stance you were taking based on the conversation.

Right. That's why treating animals inhumanely is bad. Maybe having empathy for other living beings in general would be a better solution.

Unfortunately, this seems to be something that might be changing in the future. Google isn't going to be open source with android development anymore.

The assurance that no matter how much they mess up, they will have government backing.

Yay! Thank you for the Amazon gift card.

 

As soon as I saw this, I thought of how homemade radiative cooling tech like this could be used in a solarpunk society.

What do you think?
