My phone shit the bed and I decided to just install graphene on the new one. One of the biggest hurdles in degoogling. Now I'm slowly migrating my accounts away from Google. I can't do it all at once because that's just too big of an endeavor.

My mom has even started to degoogle a bit and is switching to proton for email and cloud storage. She's learning a lot about privacy and cyber security from me butching about corpos and dumb end users at work. She had her Microsoft account hacked today and she called me from the store as soon as she got an unknown MFA prompt and I helped her secure her shit immediately. So proud of her. She went home after that and immediately started resetting passwords to literally all of her accounts for different things and even appropriately prioritized them. I've trained her well lol

I hope GrapheneOS is the real deal, but the push seems a little too conveniently timed.
