AOSP (Vanilla, GrapheneOS, CalyxOS) doesn't have this capability.

The Google Play Services app/package? Heh...

People have been choosing usability over security forever - don't be ashamed.

You mean the Google add-ons to Android.

Regular Android works great in GrapheneOS/CalyxOS/other AOSP variants.

acct776··on Response to “WireGuard: great protocol, but skip the Mac app”
GrapheneOS, on whatever devices have proper security models at the time.

We have exactly the same opinion, it seems.

Except, you missed the part where, if someone's free to run up the score with 4, 6, or 10 children...they also have the freedom to watch them starve if they can't support them.

I don't know that better planners should be forced into subsidizing bad family planning/no family planning.

This breaks the Android security model.

Use GrapheneOS or CalyxOS.

acct776··on Cracks in US nuclear command and control
You should read more, then.

Not allowing incoming connections from anything besides their signed app.

Right. But in a lot of states, there's a gun on the other side of that door.

Toothbrush becomes a lot less of a panacea, then.
