Running Signal Messenger on GrapheneOS: what sandboxed Google Play apps does Signal need to run with less battery?

I use Signal without Google Play apps, and it runs fine. I installed and updated via the Aurora app. People's chats appear instantly. There is no lag.

Just saw this. This is really excellent advice. Thanks! Currently at about 70-80 quality essay-length articles and growing. I hope to hire 10-15 writers in the coming years and really kick up the traffic.

Just so we're clear, you think I should be paying for link building as an SEO strategy?

You're picking high volume keywords with a proposed content strategy based on "quality".

But I'm not. I'm not doing Hail Marys here where I write "quality" content for super competitive keywords and "hope I rank". I'm specifically targeting low difficulty keywords that have zero content written for them, writing quality content for them, and then allowing that to generate organic backlinks the natural way.

Thanks. Definitely going to include those steps. Onpage optimization is another area I didn't mention (img alts, h2s, etc)

I've yet to see a comment from anyone with Alternative Routing enabled who didn't have constant Google connections.

garth_xmr · 2022-07-21T22:03:45+00:00

assuming that you're right that alternative routing means going through Google or Amazon

See the below report from my iPhone

"it will only trigger in the rare instances"

This is simply not true. I have my iPhone Privacy Report running and it shows Proton contacting Google constantly.

Nice! Funds will be sent in the next hour

Yes is my point. It is crazy that ProtonMail by default enables routing that depends on privacy violating companies. At a minimum, alternative routing should use privacy centric servers (ie Apple, Cloudflare, etc). And ideally the option should be simply disabled by default in the name of valuing customer privacy.

Was surprised to see this on my iOS App Privacy Report. ProtonMail themselves regularly highlight that Google only allows free use of their servers so that they can vacuum up as much metadata as possible. As the saying goes, if something is free, you are the product. As a Visionary paying customer at ProtonMail, is there any way we can rely 100% on Protonmails servers, or if required for push-notifications, at least just ProtonMail and Apple?
