This kind of thing happens more often than people think. You trade convenience for blind trust and sometimes that trust gets revoked without warning. Whether it's Apple, Google or whoever’s "ecosystem" you live in if you don’t own your keys and data, you’re just a tenant who forgot the landlord doesn’t take calls.

No VPN allowed, why?

No idea, I haven’t used CC in a while but I’ve noticed a general pattern with these AI tools where they seem to start strong then slowly degrade over time.

Could be cost optimisation through some sort of resource throttling. Most of these companies aren’t profitable so it wouldn’t surprise me if they’re quietly tuning things down to save compute.

Rest in Peace, Legend!

Second greatest south African to have ever lived, only after Mark Shuttleworth.

That's an interesting view!

Security isn't something you have or not. There's nuances. CalyxOS makes a few trade-offs which I'm happy to accept in order to be able to use several banking apps, Google pay, wallet etc.

CalyxOS is a great alternative to GrapheneOS. The way I see it is that CalyxOS is much better for privacy but not as good for security, whereas on GrapheneOS security is always the main priority, whilst privacy and usability are second thoughts.

Just so you know: https://grapheneos.org/ and https://signal.org/ do exist!

Well said!

For a phone, I think you want an older Pixel device running GrapheneOS!

That's amazing, I do like it large by the way!
