You can bank without Apple iOS/macOS or Google Android/Chrome.

You can also vote with your wallet regarding banking. Put your deposits in another bank.

GrapheneOS accepts donations and, to my knowledge, they spend it in hiring full time engineers.

They have replacement portions for Play Services already (attestation, an app store, and location), but it'd be interesting if they also offered something for push notifications.

If you have it to give you can spend your budget on a donation and fund the effort directly.

Some apps offer direct APK downloads from their websites. If Google Play Services is detected, they use it for push notifications. Otherwise, they fall back to an internal background connection. WhatsApp is an example.

You still need to supply Play Services:

GrapheneOS uses Sandboxed Google Play. LineageOS requires flashing a package like MindTheGapps. There is also microG, an open-source reimplementation of Play Services APIs.

Could you share your case's details? It sounds like you wanted better L3/IPv6 support and figured out a clean way to achieve it.

It does mean on the property and including inside facilities.

Maybe that's at the gym or by the pool, and maybe you're actually not comfortable becoming a swimsuit model.

* Given that for-profits can be given tax-breaks for (hopefully) good reasons [which are not altruistic];

A defense contractor designing missile guidance qualifies for the Exempt Purpose of "scientific."

A megachurch with a private jet qualifies under its "religious" category.

These do not specifically require altruistic intent. Congress chose to subsidize certain categories of activity (religious, scientific, educational, and so on) because it wanted more of that activity produced, regardless of the motives of the people doing it.

1st, this is unlike CAR-T as there is no extraction, engineering on that extraction, and then reinjection.

2nd, the only injection is intravenous. It uses a kind of virus that has been specifically engineered to cross the blood-brain barrier. That virus has a payload which infects/alters astrocytes already inside the brain, and the astrocytes become aggressive at clearing amyloid plaques.

3rd, I agree that the road to a marketable therapeutic could be a long way off.

@strcat, you've mentioned GrapheneOS will have access to internal code to do hardening below the OS layer. Does this mean Motorola devices will offer stronger security than Pixels, where you're limited by what Google exposes?

Is Motorola contributing engineering resources directly to GrapheneOS, or is the partnership purely about hardware enablement on their side?

The dealbreaker was data usage for AI training, not UI:

"We are going to use your email to train our LLMs. I'm not okay with that... my confidential commercial information is NOT okay to use to train your models [...] So... goodbye Gmail."

The title is Bye Bye Gmail.

No, you probably haven't read the conversation piece. The post is ultimately about switching providers because Google's service crosses a line from (1) targeted advertising to (2) using personal and confidential information for model training.

A service to clean up the UI does nothing to solve the issue at hand.
