Yeah, and that's why I prefer cycling or skateboarding wherever I need (depending on the distance). In Russia those MFs get pretty packed at times, sometimes to the point it gets hard to breath in there 😬

App pinning has an explicit warning that "personal data may be accessible" and "pinned apps may open other apps". I mean, it's better than nothing, but I'd prefer not to rely on it anyways.

They've explicitly told in there FAQ 0 bytes of info was disclosed. And I suspect whatever they've shared with Germans alone wasn't 7 bits long.

Fck, literally me. And I don't even smoke pot

It's not like they exactly didn't before: https://www.androidpolice.com/telegram-germany-user-data-surrendered/

Also, nothing said about whether they're going to start making transparency reports, not that I've expected anything else from this crapshow of a messenger...

Other inits cut out udev and logind and run away giggling into the sunset, obviously

If you want something like graphene or calyx (I.e. with additional de-googling and security improvements), take a look at DivestOS: https://divestos.org/pages/devices#device-blueline

Crdroid (which claims performance improvements, but also has a lot of customization options; reminds me of now deceased resurrection remix) is also good but doesn't seem to officially support your device. There may be some ports on XDA, tho.

Just shove wondows in a VM or something

They're more secure (albeit in many wsys security through obscurity) than private, although the privacy aspect is probably among the best you can get by default as far as I can tell. On the other hand, if you're willing to do some relatively simple steps and buy specific hardware, you can achieve better privacy and security on both mobile (graphene) and desktop (qubes) devices.

I personally dislike them for building unrepareable crap, tho.

I suspect those may depend on choosing a particular response to some of the previous questions
