On the flip side, I think men could use more men’s groups because male loneliness is problematic. Women don’t want to feel responsible for men’s loneliness (rightly so), so the natural solution is men need to do better at making friends with men. The problem is doing it in a healthy way

That said, I would suggest the solution is hobby groups without gender exclusion. Like carpentry, basketball, knitting, dance, ballet. Hobbies seem to self select.

Most of my hobbies are female dominated in my conservative area.

They really should GPL it all. The US will steal it and create AWS services

Okay. Just to note that if you put graphene on a pixel, you aren’t giving them more data. Just because it’s a Google pixel doesn’t mean they’d have you data in GrapheneOS

What do you mean by give Google more? The only way you give Google more is buying a pixel, but you can buy second hand. I only buy them second hand.

There are now more alternatives from EU companies if second hand still bothers you, but when I started with GrapheneOS, there weren’t many other choices.

If you mean give data to Google, graphene definitely doesn’t do that

Graphene OS for the past year or two. Zero problems and only benefits.

You will need to get used to fiddling with security settings on some apps. For example, banking apps need reduced (meaning standard Android) levels of security. I consider this a feature so I can know which apps to find alternatives for
