i locked my phone down as hard as i could with grapheneos and only using foss apps from fdroid and also locked off my phones ability to use the gps, and also most of its other camera/microphone/whatever functions without asking me. probably doesnt actually do much but lets me pretend i at least have the slightest semblance of privacy

which in general means that doing anything much more than texting or basic web browsing or taking photos or podcasts (or looking at r*ddit, to my shame) is just way too fucking hard to get past all the barriers ive built for myself so i end up not doing it, and i end up looking like the most massive boomer to everyone around me, especially my partner who gleefully runs a million apps for every website and service imaginable
