Sorry i cant give you the full detail, i read it once somewhere in the r/privacy subreddit and it make me kinda go back on decision to get a dumb phone
It is more private, you even more private that the vast majority of people using internet right now (me included) it just, Google is big, like, really big, too big that you cannot escape them, literally, even the dumbphone can’t escape Google
Nah, there’s no way you can do “leave no traces behind” like in real life, not even the greatest cyber criminal can, whatever you do, you still leaving traces, the reason why they so hard to track is because the “traces” they left is separated and have no link to anyone, nor anything, and that’s i think it call anonymity, which is really hard to achieve, at least in the big 2026

It really beg on me the question “how did they even get this much star”
I used to see those “stars” are the indicator for if the repo is good or not and now it useless because of AI bullshit
You think that’s the worst?
I’m not as good as you so i can’t give you better solutions, but, just so you know, you’re still more private than a lot of people, me included, you dont have to feel bad, you did a lot of progress there
