android spyware is largely embedded in the google play services sensors, contacts, app info, hardware info, etcetc it collects these with elevated privileges in stock android, it cannot be disabled and telemetry cannot be disabled no matter what you do graphene ships without play services. if you're down for the friction you can direct install some apk's (signal does this), use f-droid for foss apps, and use progressive web apps (pwa's) to fill the gaps if you want play store apps, you can sandbox the play store; giving it the same authority as any other app w tight controls over what it can access and when. apps installed thru sandboxed play store must request permission up the chain: app -> play store -> graphene -> you data flow starts and stops with you. play wants your location? seethe. play wants your hardware ids? mald. play wants your contacts? pound sand. is the pixel-only constraint problematic? is immigration reform on stolen land problematic? yea, it is. you get the cards you get. at least in the former case, graphene & motorola are partnering to further open access to an os that still gives a shit about privacy do not let these ppl black pill you, friend you dont have to live on the backfoot with your data on your device

EPIC GAMES LAYS OFF OVER 1,000 EMPLOYEES "Today we’re laying off over 1000 Epic employees. I'm sorry we're here again. The downturn in Fortnite engagement that started in 2025 means we're spending significantly more than we're making, and we have to make major cuts to keep the company funded. This layoff, together with over $500 million of identified cost savings in contracting, marketing, and closing some open roles puts us in a more stable place."
